Review on πŸ’Ύ Mushkin Helix-L 1TB NVMe PCIe 1.3 M.2 Internal SSD - Gen3 x4, 3D TLC (MKNSSDHL1TB-D8) by Cristina Wicomb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely fast! in internal SSDs

I bought this for a computer built about 3-4 years ago that used a 120GB SATA SSD boot drive that was almost full due to OS bloat . My MSI motherboard didn't really tell me if it saw the drive or not since it uses a PCI interface and not traditional sata. (Perhaps this is because the PCI interface is relatively new and will likely be easier to identify in the future). However, on a clean install of Windows, the drive was recognized and my boot times are amazing! A few seconds after hitting the power button, I'm good to go. While this is partly due to a fresh operating system installation, it's also due to the hard drive's amazing read speeds.
