Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Timetec 480GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5 Inch 7mm 400TBW High Speed Read (Up to 560 MB/s) SLC Cache Performance Boost Internal Solid State Drive for PC Computer Desktop and Laptop (480GB) by Tony Conlon

Not so fast and a bit bold

This is a longer industrial hard drive form factor. The claimed speed of 1700Mbps is closer to 1000. It's a bit thick as there are features on both sides of the PCB. 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
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some bugs
