Review on MICROFROM Internal Gen3X4 Gaming Laptop by Cody Hinckley

256GB MicroFrom NVMe M.2 SSD is a low-cost, entry-level M.2 NVMe SSD. It works very well when booting Windows or downloading programs and games. in M.2 2280 form factor, single-sided for compatibility with thin mobile devices that may have size limitations. Although it comes with a white sticker, the circuit board is black and the Silicon Motion SM2263XT NVMe controller was visible on the side of the sticker. Having seen many complaints about storage media not having the manufacturer's specified capacity, I have to explain the capacity discrepancy between the manufacturer's specified storage capacity and the capacity of the Windows operating system. Media manufacturers measure capacity using the decimal system (1 GB = 1000 MB / 256 GB = 256,000 MB). The Windows operating system uses the binary system to measure disk space (1GB = 1024MB / 256GB = 238,000MB). Because of this, your flash drive, hard drive or SD card may have a smaller capacity than specified by the manufacturers. In this case, manufacturers and operating systems such as MacOS and Linux use the correct measure (giga prefix = 1000). The 256 GB MicroFrom NVMe M.2 SSD is advertised with "up to 2650 MB/s read speed" and "up to 1350 MB/s write speed". The SSD didn't come close to this speed in CrystalDiskMark, even in the "Peak Performance" setting. It reached a reading speed of 1986 MB/s and a writing speed of 1033.78 MB/s. only install SATA and mSATA drives. Even the back of the box mentions a 2.5-inch desktop mount. At the very least, installing an NVMe is the same as installing an mSATA drive. The package does not include cloning or backup software like similarly priced options. The MicroFrom 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD performs better than SATA SSDs and offers a 5-year warranty, but falls short of the advertised speed and performance of other NVMe drives. with the same SM2263XT controller. However, in real-world applications, it's really good.
