read/write speeds are as specified on the 8700K/Asus Z390 Maximus XI board. The included heatsink is a joke. This drive gets very hot after a long file transfer, e.g. B. moving a 2TB game library like I did. I recommend placing it in line with a case fan to completely zero the temperature, or attaching a decent heatsink to allow for more potential heat absorption and delay thermal throttling. The kit does not include M.2 stand/screws as of course it doesn't. They always come with the motherboard, and if they come with a laptop, buy them separately.
