    5 Stars
    Fast drive. Mushkin gives pretty good tech support.
    The Good: I had no problems installing it, It turned on, performance is within the range of an NVME drive.The Bad: Crystaldiskmark is reporting 2450 MB/S read and 2650 MB/S writes. The websites reviewing this product were reporting 3300 MB/S read, 2600 MB/s write. That's a fairly big difference. I'm hoping Mushkin has an updated firmware or something.The Ugly: To make matters worse, this product isn't even listed on the manufacturer's website. I've opened up a support ticket with the manufacturer to see how they'll respond, maybe they'll have an updated firmware. I'll report what happens here.Other Words: In the meantime, if you want an SM2262EN-based NVME SSD, I would recommend the HP EX950 or the ADATA XPG SX8200 pro.Edit: I'm revising my review to 5-stars. Mushkin got back to me within a few hours of my creating a support case. The person who responded was knowledgeable and assisted me troubleshooting the drive's slowness. It turns out it was my laptop, a Dell XPS 15 9570 having strange issues with this drive (strange issues in general). When I re-tested the drive on my desktop Z270 chipset system, the scores were well within expectation. I was getting 3300+MB/S read and 2800+MB/S write.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019
    I just used this to upgrade the SSD in a new Lenovo P53s. A note on why CDM only shows partial capacity: it was partitioned-- (Lenovo sales swore up and down the P53s model I bought had dual SSD drives. Of course when I opened it up expecting to pop the Pilot-E in an empty slot, there was only one which was almost full due to migrated stuff from my previous computer, and also had the OS on it..) I had to use macrium, recovery usb and an external HD to get the image on there. What a PITA. I was just trying to get this thing working because school starts for me in a few days. (Mind you, I was upgrading from a 6 year old tank of a T530 with an Ivy Bridge which did everything I needed it to do, albeit....... ...slowly.)

    Anyway, I digress... this SSD works as advertised (fast!) and is incredibly inexpensive. I've used Mushkin memory before many years ago with great results, which is why I didn't hesitate to buy this SSD. What a steal!
