Review on Timetec 256GB SSD NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 - High Performance SLC Cache, 3D NAND TLC, Read/Write Speed Up to 2,100/1,600 MB/s - For PC, Laptop, Desktop by Michael Hale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not so fast and a little thick

This is a longer industrial drive rated at 1700Mbps, closer to 1000. It is a little thick because there are features on both sides of the circuit board. To install it I had to remove the rubber bumper from the motherboard. Significantly longer than a standard 22110 length drive. Obviously I can't test the write endurance so time will tell if the numbers are correct given the actual tested read speed of 1000MB/s which is not good for a DRAM drive to play or rarely rebooted the system. I had a motherboard heatsink installed (Asrock Phantom Games x399) so the read speed wouldn't be too high and would be faster on a DRAM free drive on another of these motherboards in a similar configuration. However, if it meets the write resistance advertised, it's a good working disc if you have a slot that can accommodate more length.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Appearance
