💾 Timetec 256GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5 Inch 7mm (0.28") 200TBW | 550 MB/s Read Speed | SLC Cache | Internal Solid State Drive for PC Desktop and Laptop (256GB) Review

I've used this and Macrium Reflex to speed up my PC startup. Literally the difference between day and night. That's literally almost a $70+ 1TB NVMe SSD if your motherboard has room for it. M.2 22110 just means it's very long. I think most NVME SSDs coming out now are shorter than M.2 22080 and such. Check your motherboard and see before you buy. Otherwise, the speed is great for the price. Even the games I installed on it load at an incredible speed.

Upgrade after 1 month still very happy with it, still fast and no regrets Crazy TBW durability! My 960GB shows up correctly as an 894GB hard drive, which also mostly hits 2440MB/s linear read in benchmarks on Aida64 hard drive benchmarks. I've struggled to get the true 1700MB it advertises, but I've found that under some rare conditions I've been lucky, and the moon hits the water at the right angle, blah blah blah. perhaps another test application would be ideal. But it reads all my other…

I understand people taking a critical view of this for not having the fastest speeds, but unless you're doing something that really requires the fastest drive I have to say this is the best value for money in the m.2 form factor. I used it as extra storage for a beehive and will most likely be the second stick for my son's gaming laptop. The closest action is easily 50% more expensive.

A hardware scanner turned out that they were actually made by "Team Group", just renamed. After the launch of the Crystal brand, it is practically on par with other SSDs in this price range. So if you're using a mechanical hard drive, you'll see a big difference in boot times. However, if you already have an SSD, I'd look elsewhere and spend a little more for faster sequential reads. But for what it is and at $19.99, it's a good deal.
