Review on 💾 ASENNO 480GB 500GB SSD: High-Performance Internal Solid State Hard Drive for Notebook, Tablet, Desktop PC by Dennis Goozmer

The text description says it's a 247MB write speed drive for this capacity, although a conflicting picture claims it's much higher/better. Most 2.5-inch SSDs are 400MB or faster for all types of capacity. Most of them are actually only 1/3 large internal components of their case. While it's still much better than a hard drive in terms of write speeds, I'm so used to the standard of 400MB or more that I can feel the bottleneck when loading webpages. At first it seemed fast and like a 400MB write, but it seems to me that it slowed down over the course of a month and a few weeks. I used it on my daily mini pc (Dell D12U with 8GB RAM). Others have reported similar experiences. Since I don't have to worry so much about the write speed if it's not a boot drive and therefore responsible for TEMP files, it's enough as an external drive. To be honest, in my experience I would buy a drive with such a poor write speed just to use it on an external drive, but the thing is, no one sells an enclosure just for that little M.2 sata drive . Also, most longer cards have a speed for a capacity that outperforms them and justifies their slightly higher cost. So I see no point in justifying them even for portable external storage when they have slower write speeds than a MicroSD card and every competitor on the market with a better reputation. The only thing they have to their advantage is that there are niche PCs that have decided to push this niche M.2 card format and are a more affordable option - with an obvious performance hit compared to other more expensive ones competitors. For some this is normal. As for me, I at least tried them, but found I couldn't justify paying a little less for less performance in a pretty important way.
