    Customers are mixed about the capacity of the computer drive. Some mention that it's large enough for most programs, but not the best with games. It's also enough for a secondary drive, but you won't use it as a primary drive due to the r/w speed. That said, others say that it stays very cool even under heavy use and is fast storage for cheap.

    Works great
    I paired this with the SSK Aluminum M.2 NVME SATA SSD (10gbps) Enclosure Adapter and it works great. Didn't need blazing fast speeds and wanted to minimize heat. I'm getting write speeds of 920.9MB/s and read of 561.5MB/s when I use USB-C to USB-C on my Mac mini, which is fast enough for me. When I use USB-C to USB-3 I get a little over 400MB/s for both read and write. The SSD does run pretty cool. I went with PNY because I've had PNY thumb drives that I've abused for many years and still work. Will update if there are any problems with this SSD. Would recommend! 4 1/2 stars
