Review on 64GB MTS800 Transcend SATA III 6Gb/s 80 mm M.2 SSD (TS64GMTS800) by Richard Basque

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My First SSD - Internal SSDs

Fantastic. Lightning fast. Windows 10 boots right after the Bios message. I usually shy away from some programs that take longer to load, like Steam or Adobe Creative Cloud, but I don't even have to. Maybe I'm too excited, but this is my first SSD. Long story short, I needed a clean install (the old one was dying), I'd just bought an HDD and was about to scrap SSDs because I felt they were too expensive. But this thing is pretty cheap, so I said "fuck it" and bought it, made it a boot disk, and damn this thing is amazing. Difference between day and night compared to any hard drive including my sshd (Solid State Hybrid Drive). Would recommend to anyone who doesn't have an SSD (and a spare m.2 connector of course!)

Pros
  • Supports Dev Sleep mode, which allows devices to completely disable the SATA interface and save battery power, as opposed to existing partial/sleep modes
Cons
  • Reliability
