Review on 64GB MTS800 Transcend SATA III 6Gb/s 80 mm M.2 SSD (TS64GMTS800) by Bobby Valadez

After finding out that my Asus MB would accept this M2, I went in search of it. I've read other posts that said some discs get hot so I was cautious when buying. So far I haven't noticed any heat issues with this drive. After migrating my OS from a 120GB Samsung to this M2, my PC boots even faster. It was very stable even when I leave my computer on for 3-4 days. I use this HDD exclusively for the OS (Win7) and my data is stored on 2 mirrored 2TB normal HD. This drive provides enough storage space for the operating system and applications. Because it's small enough, I can store the backup on other drives. If I build another computer I would make sure MB accepts an M2 drive and duplicates that system. Another benefit of this drive over an SSD is that it doesn't use any of the SATA connectors. This means that all SATA connections for DVD and HD drives remain available. I highly recommend this drive!
