Review on 💾 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 Bishnu Bush

I recently got a little used Lenovo 910q mini pc and decided to convert it into a media center pc. He didn't have a repair disk, but I have spares, so don't worry. I have multiple SATA M.2 drives, but I found that this mini pc only supports NVMe/PCIe M.2 drives in M.2 bay form factor. Since I'll only be using it as a jukebox or media center PC, I wanted to spend the bare minimum on an NVMe drive. I found that the price difference between 120/128GB and 240/250/256GB drives wasn't enough to warrant a 120GB drive, so I went in search of an affordable 250- GB drive. The cheapest drive in this category was the Adata Swordfish. It appears to deliver 1800MB read speed, which is a nice improvement over the 550MB maximum for SATA, but the really big factor for me was cost. Few discs came close, especially since they had a coupon. The ride worked fine for several days. I was concerned that the heatsink would be too big to fit in the mini pc case since it is mounted close to the bottom cover, but it barely fits. If my drive fails I'll update this review, but for now this is the best cheap NVMe drive I've found. He doesn't seem to be warming up very much, but he's not getting any serious training either. good enough for me
