Posted this on Reddit a while back after getting one on the bf sale..I bought one for $55 when it was $80 with a $25 off build coupon. It was probably worth that, but not much more. Terrible buy at $125 and still probably a bad deal at $100.
Just for a little real world data, I did some large transfers on my computer to see what this drive would do. PC specs i5 12400, asrock z690 phantom gaming 4, 32gb ddr4 3600 cl16, and all read/writes were to/from a 980 pro to eliminate any bottlenecks. I'm running W11. Tests were completed back to back, but I wasn't racing and had to wait to pull new files off my nas when you see a new file size used.
​
1st test: The drive started with x free of 1.81TB. large game write, copied destiny 2 (94.1gb) to the drive. It took about a minute. Looked to be about 1.8 gigabytes per second on average.
​
2nd test: The drive started with 1.46TB free of 1.81TB. Large single file write of (76gb). This took 41 seconds (started using the stopwatch on my phone). Again averaging about 1.8GB/s
​
3rd test: The drive started with 1.39TB free of 1.81TB. large game read, copied destiny 2 (94.1gb) back to the 980 pro. This took 1 minute and 42 seconds. The first half copied around 1.3GB/s, the second half of the time was fluctuating from about 400MB/s to 900, going up and down.
​
4- through full tests: The drive started with 1.39TB free of 1.81TB. Large single file (76GB) copy till its full test.
Run 1: Large single file (76GB), Start 1.39TB free, similar speed to the first copy, about the same 41 seconds
Run 2: Large single file (76GB), Start 1.32TB free. This one farking Died after 16%. 10 minutes in I was at 60% and it had completely stalled to 0MB/s multiple times. Task Manager was showing 1-5% utilization on the 980 and this was pinged at 99%. Finally finished around 19 minutes and 20 seconds...
Run 3: Let's try that again... Start 1.25TB Free This test plummeted immediately and I gave up at 3:37 at 15%, fool me once....
Run 4: Any different with multi files? Copied Destiny 2 again, Start 1.25TB free. NOPE, got to 10% in about a minute then hit 0bytes/s and stayed stayed there for a while...I gave up
Run 5: can we still read? Copied the 76gb file in 1:14, averaged maybe 1GB/s
Run 6: Can we write now? 76gb file Start 1.24TB free. No, similar to the last try
Run 7: smaller file? 3.71gb. Start 1.24TB free. Totally fine, took like 3 seconds?
Run 8: Lets go bigger 20.8gb. Start 1.24TB free. Fine until 96% then plummeted to 710KB/s. Ended in 58 seconds.
Run 9: smaller file again 3.71gb. Start 1.22TB free., fine maybe 2 seconds
Run 10: Lets go bigger again 20.8gb. Start 1.241TB free. woof, died at 19% after a few seconds. stayed at 0 bytes/s for like 50 seconds.
Run 11: I don't owe you guys shit, I give up, make of this what you will
Sounds like you purchased a bad drive - and did some really strange "testing" to speed test. Why would you pick random files on your computer? Use a traditional benchmarking software to qualify your drive speed, like CrystalDiskMark or Atto...and you should return or RMA that drive if you still have it.

Based on the model, this could be using a Intel based NAND chip. Well worth the cost!
