Review on 128GB Transcend Nvme PCIe Gen3 X4 MTE110S M.2 SSD Solid State Drive - TS128GMTE110S by Christopher Shavers

I bought this drive for use with Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM) and connected it to an SSK USB 3 NVMe+ enclosure. It's now obvious that the USB 3 interface is slower than being able to install it directly on an NVMe-enabled computer, but the RPi doesn't have that option. I installed a new Raspberry Pi OS on the drive and was able to configure the Pi to boot from it instead of the standard microSD card. And hey, it works really well! Read and write operations are much faster and programs load much faster from an SSD than from a microSD card. Also, it's safe to say that read/write wear will be much better on this SSD than on the card.
