Works great and the price was right
Works great and the price was right. Installed this on my AsRock Z170 mainboard and did a fresh install of Win10 off a usb stick. Went with UEFI and GPT this time and the install was buttery smooth and really fast. Load times from POST into Windows are impressive. Even faster then the Crucial M500 that the BPX replaced. Very satisfied with the price and performance of this drive. Would definitely recommend it to any one looking for a budget friendly NVMe capable drive at a good price and a very good warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast is an understatement
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018

I thought I knew what fast was. When my thumb drive passed 10MB/s, I was impressed. When my hard drive passed 70MB/s, I was thrilled. When I got a SATA SSD and I saw 250MB/s, I actually applauded.

This thing... this thing blows them all out of the water. It's not even close. They are not kidding about that 2.6GB/s rating (and yes, that's gigabytes, not gigabits). I clocked this thing at 2.3GB/s sequential read myself, which is close enough that I don't care about the .3 difference. Note that that .3 difference is 300MB/s, which is faster than my previous SSD. And I don't care. Because there is no wait time on this thing, whatsoever. The computer boots faster than I can turn the keyboard, mouse, and monitor on. It logs in faster than I can type my password. Games load the moment I double-click, no progress bar in the entire system takes longer than 10 seconds, file copying might as well be instant.

Absolutely unreal.

As for the rest of it, this happens to be the sweet spot for price per GB right now in this speed class, and installation was an absolute breeze. No disk errors, no bad sectors, nothing to complain about.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bang for the buck ($200) on this drive is the best I've seen
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017

If you've found this drive, you've done your homework. This is a PCIe M.2 NVMe which is the top tier performance wise that you can put into your PC. The bang for the buck ($200) on this drive is the best I've seen. I'm normally not one to buy electronics from brands that don't have as much popularity and reputation, but I made an exception for this drive because I found a review of it on Tomshardware.

Originally I was going to put this into a new machine with Windows 7, but the Windows 7 installation disk doesn't actually have any driver support for this drive, so the installation wizard couldn't detect this drive. There are videos of people trying to get the drivers off the internet from a working computer, putting those onto USB and then loading those drivers during the Windows 7 installation. I tried that and had issues with the GIGABYTE tool that embeds the drivers into a new Windows 7 installation .iso file. I put that onto a DVD and still couldn't get Windows 7 to recognize drivers that would allow me to format and install to this SSD.

Finally I bought Windows 10, burned it to a disk (Couldn't get the Windows media builder to write to my USB Flash Drive for some reason) and I was able to get a fresh copy of Windows 10 installed to this drive.

The performance on this drive amazing. The cost makes it affordable. Can't go wrong.

installed it on a new hp omen gaming desktop. 870-120st cto. bios seen it, so did windows 10. after a clean install of w10 pro and fully updating it, got all my programs going, this thing was blazing fast and it was so happy. then it started. unable to boot, put in boot media, do a pc repair, cannot find boot drive, you name it, I got it. programs starting behaving strange and had to be reinstalled to get them to work again. then I noticed the overheating using crystaldiskinfo. everywhere I go online says m.2 runs hot. true enough. but mine was 55*c at idle speeds. during large 120gb data transfer it would heat up to 102*c. still, forums all over the net say that is normal under high stress. I just don't feel comfortable with it getting so hot. its a disaster waiting to happen. I have went back to my Samsung 850 pro that runs cool no matter what I'm doing & is still plenty fast. when m.2 drive worked, it was indeed very fast. however, ive sent this back to amazon due to overheating & boot concerns.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a fast drive for a good price with a few major caveats
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017

Overall: This is a fast drive for a good price with a few major caveats.

Pros:
1. It's fast, really fast. 3x faster than my 5 year old m4 crucial drive.
2. It's small.
3. They include a screw and a screwdriver, which comes in handy.
4. There's a really aggressive warranty included with the drive, which gives me confidence in the product in the long run.
5. There's a really high endurance rating for the drive, so I'm not worried about making lots of read/writes.

Cons:

1. Limited firmware support (no firmware updates since the drive was release, and it doesn't look like MyDigitalSSD releases many firmware updates for their drives. My Ryzen Rig does not like this drive. It disappears from the BIOS after warm booting (e.g. restart), so I have to shut down and startup (cold boot) the computer in order to use the drive. I would not reccomend buying this drive for a Ryzen rig until a firmware update is release. -1 egg

2. It runs HOT. I mean, really hot. I will likely end up getting an adapter for this drive and putting it in a PCIe slot to help keep it cool. This isn't helped by the fact that Ryzen motherboards have decided that the best place to put a m2 drive is right underneath the GPU. Someone screwed the pooch with that design decision. m2 drives need better ways to dissipate their heat. -1 egg
