I had already 3 hard drives installed, along with 2 blu-ray burners, so when I installed the M.2 drive, one of my hard drives and one of my blu-ray drives just dissapeared

I love this hard drive

Very fast drive!

Perfect boot drive, super fast and reliable!

Great drive as expected.

First drive failed during windows 10 install, ordered replacement and it failed 3 hours after booting up windows while just sitting at the desktop, motherboard couldn't even pass POST until the drives were removed from the NVMe slot

Hard drive is a beast!!

To put it bluntly this drive blows the doors off the factory installed one

This is a crazy fast hard drive.

This is a very fast hard drive.

If you have existing SATA hard drives they may need to move to different ports on the board to function correctly.

These new NVMe M.2 2280 drives are absolutely silent and cool

This drive is unbelievable, I am not ling

Two additional differences between then and now: floppy disks and hard drives were noisy and hot.

Seriously though, its at the top of the hard drive game for laptops.

If you pick up a good drive like this from a company that backs their product it is hard to go wrong

But the drive is very fast, Magician reported

Awesome drive, I picked it up as a second nvme drive for more games

Fast drive for my / partition

At this price point the drive is worth every penny

I have everything back as it should be now (except for losing my smallest capacity hard drive-which is no loss, as it was just my OS which I cloned to the M.2 drive anyway) and couldnt be happier!

I went from a standard 2tb hard drive to the Samsung 970 EVO 500GB, the speeds are a crazy improvement

That's over 11 times faster than a new fast Hard drive.

Within an hour was my first clue, but I really had no idea how much faster this drive was until I ran the stress tests tonight

Neither cloning software - Samsung and Macrium Reflect were able to clone the original hard drive and I eventually gave up and did a clean installation

It's a fast drive that you'll be happy with

I will never go be able to go back to a slower Sata system drive!

This "drive" is just amazing

I bought a Dell XPS 15 9570 for a great price with 16gb ram but with only a 256gb hard drive

It was about five minutes faster than the dying hard drive he had in his previous computer.

So, in the end, I’d recommend this drive and say to choose whatever drive that is priced the best at the time you are buying as long as it has the backing and warranty that you want.

Great drive that I use to boot up my windows 10 in 10 seconds

After searching on the Asus forums I noticed that there were an update in the BIOS I had to do before installing this SSD.Formatted the old hard drive I was using and made a USB windows bootable drive with the windows creation tool

That's over 11 times faster than a new fast Hard drive.

May be the quality control in manufacturing these drives is lacking?

Fast drive, good directions, fair value

Highly recommended as a boot drive.

Best upgrade in storage compared to my old hard drive 7200 rpm

Love the M.2 drive but they do come in at a premium.

Lightning fast drive for a great price!

The drive is stupid fast though, I will certainly give them that.

What a great drive.

This is a very fast hard drive.

This is a crazy fast hard drive.

my original hard drive died, used a connector to install this onto my MBP, newer and bigger! great upgrade.

The best SSD drive I've ever had

For the amount this hard drive cost, they really should've included the screw.

Bottom line, very impressive drive, and the price on Amazon is RIGHT for the performance improvement!

I love this hard drive

This package arrived with no hard drive, yet had a notepad inside

and then the speed improved amazingly, it even improved my FPS on games like GTA 5 (meduim-high settings) and Rocket League (high settings), I know it sounds ridiculous since the hard drive does not have anything to do with game performance, but my main suspicion is that I had a really big mess with drivers and configurations on my old Windows installation, and also Asus likes to have a lot of Bloatware that I did not installed this time.

the drives are amazing, they are incredibly fast, and I cannot feel any difference in any scenario compared to my

I am old enough to remember when a 540MB (not GB) 5-1/4" hard drive was considered an enormous capacity for a personal computer

Highly recommend this drive as well as the older

This is definitely the best M.2 drive available on the market today

It's an incredibly fast drive, and with its life cycle, you'll probably use it until it become obselete 5-7 years from now

This drive is so fast it is almost precognizant!

This drive is crazy fast

Super fast drive

Spinning hard drives are for storage now, or back up

Corsair Vengence LED (4x16)C Drive: Samsung

Disconnect power from the old hard drive.

I bought this for my son’s computer and use Samsung migration software (free download form Samsung websites) to clone my original hard drive

When I rebooted my machine, the drive was there, no problems

For perspective, I'm coming from a pc who's only hard drive was a 1 tb barracuda hybrid from Seagate

Clone your current boot hard drive with Macrium Reflect Free version.

For the price, this has got to be one of the best improvements you can make to your system, especially if you're still using a traditional hard drive like I was

The drive is very very fast - at least to me

Great drive if you have the money then get this but do not expect massive performance over a SATA m.2 ssd also make sure you're system supports NVMe drives, before you buy it.

Its extremely fast, solid and a very reliable m.2 drive

Its extremely fast, solid and a very reliable m.2 drive

Went from full 6 minute boot in windows 10 with a Hard Drive to just under 30 seconds with this SSD

It is an amazing nvme drive and it was cheaper than the 960

Fastest drive I've seen so far

Currently Samsung Magician does not support this drive in Windows 10

Transferred 24 GB of data from a 2TB hard drive (internal) and took about 3 minutes, possibly 4

However, SAMSUNG drives haven't let me down yet (knock on wood)

So I just upgraded from a really old hard drive and I’m in love with this

Powered down and removed old hard drive

so fast i have 2 hard drives and 2 m.2 cards in my pc, so all together 4, I just add this

Boots up quick and speed tests are exactly what is stated, not a faster drive out there besides the Pro Version.

Price isn’t ideal but the drive is top of the line.

If you are looking for a great NVMe drive to upgrade your system with this is a good option, especially as of right now since it is still listed at the MSRP of $400.

I have my old SSD still connected for transferring any data to the new installation and stuff like that, as well as some other drives I've gathered over the years just for storage/extra space

The advertised read/write speeds are correct as I
