I picked this up in June 2021 and it has been plugged in continuously for ~18 months now and I have had no issues. I use this as an additional game drive and have seen no noticeable difference vs. my internal Samsung NVMe drives. On Windows 10, my typical speed test results are around 900MB/s.

Love these.

Use one to hold all my steam games, so that I don't have to redownload them, when I want to switch computers… Works with Steam Deck too!

I've had the 1TB on my PS5 for a year. At first I had issues with it becoming "corrupted" and having to run a check after sleep or shutdown. I think moving it to the front USB-C port fixed that and maybe changing a setting to always supply power to the drive, I forget now. Also, the initial transfer of PS4 games to it got really slow and the drive got very hot. After that though, any single PS4 games that I install to it go quickly and run perfectly.

There's an Amex MR point redemption deal that adds 15% up to $15. I'm paying $124.99 before taxes. That's slick!

Edit: It's a targeted deal as I'm seeing it but not on ky friend's Amazon account.

I don't even see much difference using a regular external hard drive for gaming besides a slightly longer boot time.

Don't really need the speed, but at this price, the saving is minimal. You should get this for speed and reliability.

Everything can be taken apart. Based on it's narrow look, I'd venture to guess it's just a little M.2 adapter and 2TB M.2 drive attached to it.

Basically, it is an Intel 660p from my research. I had the same thought, but that drive is essentially the same price with full warranty on its own.
