Perfect drive, but there's one thing.

My only complaint is that I wish PNY had wrapped them in protective plastic like the Samsung 980s. Everything else was great. Delivery was fast.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Periodicity

Pretty impressive SSD

Attached screenshot - test on AMD R9 5950X with Gigabyte X570 auros pro. No installation or usage problems like other m.2 drives. As for the read/write speed. - When benchmarking, I see it jump to 7.4 read and 7GB/s write speeds, but Crystalmark shows average numbers (I think), but it's still a fast speed. No overheating with regular use with the motherboard heatsink.

Pros
  • Big selection
Cons
  • Good but not great

This NVME 4 is fast

I installed it on my x570 motherboard and installed Windows 10 Pro on it. No problems and it's very quick.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • No insurance

Fairly fast on internal SSDs

Only installed one day. So far, so good. Installed on MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus in M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot. That seems sufficient for my purposes. See screenshot of results. It was close enough to the advertised write speed. The read speed tested is just below the specified 7500 MB/s, but is in no way inferior to other drives in this class.

Pros
  • High support and durability scores from testers
Cons
  • Factor set
