I've had good luck with Lexar products in the past, although I haven't used this specific drive. I've used other cheap 2.5 SSDs and *knock on wood* they all work as advertised.
While there are nice advantages with the M.2 PCI-E gen 4 SSDs on the market now that you'd use in a new machine, nothing beats the tremendous jump from an old 5400rpm laptop hdd to an SSD. Going from older 2.5 SATA SSDs to the newer M.2 drives is nice don't get me wrong, but it still doesn't compare with the initial HDD --> SSD switch. My opinion, of course.
Near full it still writes at triple digit speeds unzipping hundreds of GB files, I've had qlc 670p's drop down to double digit under the same conditions, so the dram didn't save the 670p.
Full durability test in chinese because far too many budget drive reviews are write 1GB to an empty drive type superficial conclusions.

Write speeds were around 40MB/s transferring movies from my NVMe, meaning it took 10x as long as I'd hoped to write my info to this drive.
Edit: I actually bought the NQ100, my mistake!

If you're using this for smaller file writes, I'm sure it's great. And once it's written to, the read speeds are great (for SATA III), but I plan to add to it over it time and I just hate the slow write speeds I've experienced for the minimal savings.
