There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Since my machine doesn't natively support NVMe, I needed an adapter, but the installation was quick and easy and Windows 10 detected and installed the drive without any issues. Once the drive was initialized, partitioned, and formatted, it was all good to go and now houses a large asset library so that I can work with projects much faster.
The Intel 660p 1Tb is $80-90 right now, but I was happy to pay more for the huge speed increase this drive offers.
Pros: Comes with an M.2 SCREW!!!!!
Very fast, no real drivers needed for Win10
Best price to speed ratio of SSDs right now, MUCH more attractive than Samsung EVO.
Cons: Not as fast as top-tier SSDs and will usually not even hit rated speeds
Visually not super appealing unless your mobo has a heatsink (or you buy one)
Firmware situation seems questionable: "upgrading" to Intel firmware did not help my speeds, your mileage may vary
The chips themselves are Micron/Crucial 64-layer 3D TLC NANDs and the memory are NANYA chips. Both of these are leaders in the SSD/memory game. The controller is Silicon Motion SM2262, the same controller found in many brands of SSDs including Intel. On paper, the HP EX920 does many things right, 3200 reads, 1800 writes. To my surprise, my tests confirmed the specifications.
I honestly can't find anything wrong with this drive. Packing was premium, the specs are good, and blazing speeds at $80 less than the leading player in the market. The SSD even has a tiny red LED on the chip to let you know it's reading/writing like old hard drives used to do. This is a nice feature absent from many solid state drives. Helps let you know if your drive is working or not.
The only thing I would say is they should have included a heat sink to dispel heat. The 960 series for example, had a copper sticker on the rear to dissipate heat. I honestly don't know if this drive has an overheating problem but consecutive tests don't show a major decrease in performance so far.
Kudos HP for knocking it out of the park!
***EDIT DEC 2018***
My drive is still performing wonderfully. However I recently purchased another one from Best Buy on Ebay for my desktop and the temperature shows a constant 54 Degrees C on the SMART sensors. My original drive that I purchased here on Amazon reviewed here, shows the temperatures changing according to load as it shoud. Apparently all of the new EX920 SSDs from around September/October 2018 and on have been exhibiting this issue. It's not a real temperature overheating problem, just stuck. Many online said it was due to a firmware issue. Thew new firmware is SVN139B and the old firmware SVN101 works fine. My SSD is on a desktop with a heat sink on top and fans creating airflow so I doubt it will ever overheat. However until this issue gets resolved by HP, you may run into this issue with newer versions of this drive as well.
***EDIT JAN 2019***
There is a new firmware update available now MultiPointe, HP's third party partner version 2262 B16 Update that fixes the temperature issue. I can't link on Amazon, but searching onlien for EX920 firmware update will get you to the right place. After updating, my temps for my 1TB drive (with a heatsink on in a desktop computer) were around 20 degrees which is pretty great. Good luck!

I thought that I'd check the HP website to see if I could find an updated driver for the SSD. Well, their own website only sees the 256GB and 512GB models in their database. If you enter the P/N or S/N in their search, it doesn't know what it is. The problem is that the only way to contact support is to actually enter a valid part/serial match.
So I have a 5-year warranty on a device that I can't even register, and as of now I'm stuck with a default Windows 10 driver (and I believe there must be a better one).
The drive is fast. I'm sure in the right machine, it's flawless, fast, and perfect. I'm just not sure that my Lenovo is that machine.
This drive is comparable to other brands I'm using with similar specs (Adata & Plextor)
