Review on TEAMGROUP MP33 1TB SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC NVMe 1.3 PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 SSD (Read/Write Speed up to 1,800/1,500 MB/s) for Laptop & PC Desktop TM8FP6001T0C101 by Lisa Kruit

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gone from Windows 10 (Update - and other issues.)

Bought about 1-2 months ago. I was downloading from BitTorrent and the drive disappeared from my laptop when my BT reached 99%. I've booted from my previous NVMe SSD for ages and never had a problem. Turning it off overnight and then restarting it in the morning etc. didn't help. Basically, the drive does not show up in Windows, partition managers, etc. did not help. I had to turn off the drive, remove the battery, reboot a few times, check the BIOS, reboot a few more times, etc. to finally find the drive again. No error messages, windows says disk is ok etc. I'm hoping this is a one time problem but I suspect I'll see it again. Probably an overheating problem. In the meantime, I will not recommend this NVMe SSD. I gave it 3 stars but will lower it further if I run into an issue again. Updated (March 5, 2020). After about 2 months I am downgrading this to 1 star as I have an additional issue. It looks like it is using a cache which is causing the problem. I have 3 NVME SSDs on my laptop and this is the only problem. In addition to previous editions. Today I had an error where I couldn't create files in some folders. This eventually spread to the entire SSD. I restarted and the problem is still there. After turning off the power, removing the battery, removing the NVME and reseating the problem went away but also two folders and about 12 files disappeared which took me about 4 hours to create. It can't be the OS since I rebooted and the files were still there. I checked with antivirus and antivirus and nothing was found, so it's not a virus. I start MS Scannow to check for system file errors, but nothing is found. I've been using nvme SSD in my laptop for a number of years, so it's not a problem with my laptop or OS.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
