Review on Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2 QLC Internal SSD (Solid State Drive) SSDPEKNW010T8X1 by Bhavin Kokani ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

Did not live up to expectations (I use SSD for the first time). The wow effect did not happen. Yes, the system starts 3 times faster, but not instantly. The launch of real applications often, apparently, does not depend on the disk at all - approximately unchanged, and sometimes slower. Perhaps, when switching to an SSD in a laptop, the effect is more obvious, in the case of a desktop, it is somehow sluggish. The only place where I noticed a positive effect in the work is the browser. If you need to record large volumes, the device is not suitable at all, besides, the manufacturer does not promise a long service life under load. I use it under the system, the paging file is removed from it. The real purpose of the drive is a portable device for home use without any special loads. The overpriced storage in this case is justified only by compactness. Comments like "Yes, you need to read reviews" are not accepted, in TTX the read speed is equal to writing and 5-8 times faster than the average HDD - and where is it? - neither the first nor the second. I am not interested in any synthetic eyeglass tests, in real conditions, reading and especially writing are far from the declared ones.

Pros
  • The lowest price among similar devices. Small dimensions and weight.
Cons
  • High storage cost. Subjective access time on a par with HDD. Periodic "sticking" when accessing the storage. The low speed of writing large amounts of information, after several tens of GB, is much lower than the speed of the HDD! It turns out that the technical characteristics are very much overestimated. It strains the declared funny resource of 200 rewrites.
