Review on πŸ’Ύ HP EX900 250GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with 3D TLC NAND - Model 2YY43AA#ABC by Michelle Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price for a well-known brand NVME card.

Installed in my Asus Q504UAK convertible laptop. Since there was mixed information about whether this machine supports the SATA or NVME standard, I decided against an M.2 card; When I discovered that card was under $50, I pulled the trigger. Installation in M.2 is easy! (well, after you opened your laptop) plugged in card, one screw all the way, restarted and already the first BIOS snapshot was found. The biggest PITA was cloning my spinning hard drive to an NVME card without reinstalling. Asus made it so I couldn't access the recovery partition on my laptop (I think because this computer can have both Windows 8 and Windows 10). I used the free edition of Macrium to copy UEFI and OS partitions to a new drive (let it run overnight), set the NVME drive as 1st boot, and we were good to go. I'm still in the process of removing all normal data from the new drive, so it's only for booting the OS and programs. I think the size is perfect for 256GB as it doesn't give me too much junk and I can store backups. small enough for fast image processing when needed. So far very satisfied. Boot times have been greatly reduced and everything runs very quickly on my I5 laptop.

Pros
  • Works on all Windows PCs, full host compatibility. Exe (HP Software Preinstallation Environment). Perfect upgrade for HP PC
Cons
  • So far so good
