    Buen Producto, Pero Cuidado con el Cuello de Botella
    Tengan cuidado y revisen bien sus placa base, en mi caso me confié en un programa que me decía que admitía pci-express, pero luego de presentar la queja y el reclamo, me dijeron que lo permitía pero en la versión baja, y por esto es que genera cuello de botella, una lastima que no pueda manejar mi ssd al 100%, pero es lo que se tiene, en general muy buen producto, he estado con este ya 2 meses y ni un problema.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2021
    Wholy crap! XLR8 PNY Its more than twice as fast as my Samsung 970 Evo Plus. I tested my ThinkPad VS Dell Latitude and the Dell is now my top computer with this drive, its Blazing fast soo amazing! You would think a Samsung Evo 970 PLUS would be fast but it's way slower and frankly dissapointing next to the PNY. Well I made a smart purchase and now I get all the speed I was looking for. For a fraction of the cost of an Evo $160 no tax. compared to $229 Evo is a deal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Très bon SSD mais déçu de la vitesse d'écriture
    Reviewed in France on February 6, 2022
    J'ai ce SSD depuis un an et il fonctionne toujours comme s'il était neuf. Aucun problème de longévité à signaler de mon côté.
    Il a été immédiatement reconnu par ma carte mère Asrock B450 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 et l'installation s'est déroulée sans accroc.
    Pour le prix, les performances sont correctes même si je suis déçu de la vitesse d'écriture qui n'est clairement pas au niveau d'un NVME (même si ça reste excellent dans l'absolu). A en juger par ma capture d'écran et celle des autres clients, je suis soit tombé sur une mauvaise série, soit il s'agit d'un dysfonctionnement de ma carte mère... à investiguer.
    Dans tous les cas, c'est un SSD excellent au regard du prix auquel il est vendu.
