You get what you pay for!

If you're expecting this to blow your mind, be prepared to be disappointed. Anyone expecting this item to be mid-range in terms of both RGB and performance will be satisfied. RGB lighting does not sync / does not work well with Asus Aura, this causes all RGB lights to lag and appear glitchy when synced to it. m.2 nvme. I decided to just make it work in its own default color. It's a little depressing because I really wanted all my RGB lights to be in sync, but for the price and capacity I feel neutral. Neither happy nor disappointed. Maybe they'll fix that soon? In terms of speed, my max write speed is capped at 1700MB/s regardless of whether the RGB lights are on or not. I won't complain, I've had enough and I'll never see the difference between higher write speeds and not use them. The capacity could be better. For a 512GB m.2 nvme I only have 475GB. That's a bit of a shame as I was expecting at least 490. All in all, as said before, you get what you pay for! If you want something more comfortable, invest in another brand. If these glitches don't bother you, be sure to do so while the sale lasts! For $65, that's quite a doable thing!

Pros
  • Great for me
