Review on 💾 XPG S40G 2TB RGB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 M.2 2280 SSD (AS40G-2TT-C) by Montez Parson

Update 3: So I ordered 2 units (1 for me and one for someone else), my unit (unit 1) couldn't handle the basic cloning and caused a short circuit which messed up my computer a bit and they sent me a replacement unit 3, unit 2 still works so i bought my unit hoping to give my computer a little boost before the holidays although it was a bad experience . on 2 and mixed bad and normal on the last one. Block 1 burned out (due to motherboard/RAM issues after shorting itself out had to reapply the profile) and now Block 3 (spare) had a few failed clones and failed clones, after over 7 attempts for a Few hours 1 somehow worked (had some issues with apps) but it worked for a while. At this point, I noticed performance lags and FPS drops, as well as a lot of unexpected issues (weird). m2 and came back with 3000 R / 2100 W (what?) so this unit doesn't work compared to my 96 0 evo and its own supposed stats 3200 R / 1800 W -960 evoso now I'm confused and found that it is slightly warmer than Evo. normal room temp (no heatsink), this xpg goes up to 85c (wow) and it has a heatsink out of the box. I then left it on for a while and noticed that the R/W on the bench got worse as a result (I'll bet thermal throttling) when I re-enabled the case fans, which have a case volume refresh rate of about 20 times per second it came on Reverted to a previous R/W so as a side note this has a heating issue and a slower R/W than advertised so I spoke to customer service and they gave me the return process and a return label (Amazon has great customer service and returns) note i.e. that the displayed statistics differ from IRL as well as from the heating. I would recommend if you use temperature monitoring and run another heatsink or fan system that will update the air volume quickly in your case. I still have disk #2 from my original purchase, disk #2 which I used to rebuild and clone Windows 10 OS to it. This unit had 2 failed clones (lots of errors) and the 3rd attempt resulted in a successful clone that has worked so far since it was set up (I'm afraid to touch it to be honest), this is again on a completely different machine and the new build took 3 units, a lot of crashes and oddities, and the new unit runs lower in r / w , but at the moment I'm not surprised, so far it seems that this type of disk has problems with cloning win 10 and its r /w is below the advertised rating in gen 3x4 m2 nvmean, the older nvme is outperforming it at the moment and it's a bit sad as I had really high hopes for it. not surprised they have sales and coupons, had some issues with 3/3 just glad this one isn't crashing like my other two, will update any progress but from the looks of it I've updated 1- > 2 Stars as 1 device is finally closer to expected ratings and not dead or acting weird except 2 bad clones
