For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.
    2. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a pretty good drive.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021
    Would I recommend this SSD? Yes, I've had it for a little over a month now and I've had no issues. (I bought the 500 GB version and am only talking about the 500 GB version)
    I would recommend you also check if you want a different similarly priced SSD. (This entire review is talking about the 500 GB versions of each drive as of January 2021)
    For example:
    The ADATA SU760 $52.99
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDW86SQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I included a picture of the performance of my brother's drive that he has been using for many months now)

    The ADATA SU800 $54.99
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K8A29CS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1
    (I don't know anyone who has one, so I can't say how good it is from experience, but the overall star rating is pretty good)

    The Samsung 860 EVO $54.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0781Z7Y3S/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_voubGb4T4G14K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (It's a Samsung drive so it will usually be high quality but it's not always in stock)
    *If the links don't work I'm not fixing them, just search the name of the drive.

    Why I bought it (please skip if you do not care):
    I have a laptop that had a hard drive. The hard drive would blue screen like once a month for a few months before it decided to completely brick itself. It would blue screen about 1 minute after booting. It would still let me boot into safe mode without blue screening but I couldn't use wifi so there was no point. I could no longer write to the drive. I have a HP laptop and since they come with HP hardware diagnostic tools, I was able to determine that the problem was the drive and not something else. I bought this drive just because it was the first one I saw that would arrive the next day. My laptop broke on Friday and I was able to get it working before school on Monday.

    Instillation (Drive and Windows):
    Installing the drive was very easy for me because I have a good amount of computer knowledge. This drive and my old hard drive are exactly the same size so all I had to do was remove my old drive. Then I took the vibration cover off the hard drive, this cover also held the drive in place. I put the cover on my SSD and slid it into the drive area. It fit tightly in there just like my old hard drive. After that, I turned on my computer and went to the bios to make sure it would boot off of a usb. I plugged in my window install usb and the computer was able to boot into the windows install manager. I was able to painlessly install and boot into windows 10. My old windows used secure boot but the new windows used legacy boot so I did have to change that in to bios to be able to boot. Since I have an HP laptop my virtual windows license automatically transferred to the fresh install of windows.

    Performance:
    I have uploaded 2 pictures of this drive's performance. The performance is as advertised and the differences could be do to a lot of different things. In day to day tasks it is a lot faster and smoother then my old hard drive with 16 gb of optane. Windows boot time is significantly faster. Downloading, transferring, and unzipping files is a lot faster. Being able to use my computer while windows is updating in the background is also nice. For gaming, don't expect a significant improvement in most games. Maybe your load times will be a bit faster but most games just don't really rely on your drive.

    Overall: This drive has not given me any issues over the month that I have owned it. I highly recommend buying it.
