Review on ๐Ÿ’พ ADATA Swordfish 250GB Internal SSD - 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe M.2 2280 - Read/Write Speed up to 1800/1200MB/s (ASWORDFISH-250G-C) by Dennis Goozmer

Be careful when removing the heatsink. Otherwise great product!

This is a very affordable and quite fast NVME M.2 SSD to fill slots on any motherboard. The only thing I have to warn you about is that the heatsink comes pre-installed out of the box. The first time I tried to carefully remove the heatsink, I ended up carefully prying one of the 3D NAND chips off its pin. If you need to remove the heatsink to fit under the M.2 motherboard heatsink, I would use a razor blade or something similar, or allow the SSD to warm up during normal use before attempting to remove it. I was able to get a replacement device. after returning the defective item. The speeds are very impressive for the price and it basically runs all my games on it.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
