256GB SSD NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 8Gb/s M.2 2280 3D NAND High Performance SLC Cache Read/Write Speed Up to 2,000/1,600 MB/s Internal Solid State Drive for PC Laptop and Desktop

Super easy to install and the right storage as it says. It works way faster than my external HD and even faster than the SSD in my PS5. It feels pretty tough like built solid and the heat sink seems solid on it too. It fit perfect to no problems.

I upgraded my Dell Latitude 5490 by replacing its original 256 GB M2 SATA drive with this new one. The result was a substantial increase in storage capacity - I now have four times more space at my disposal Additionally, I noticed a significant performance boost, which is more than threefold the previous speed. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable upgrade. Update: I purchase two more to be used as portable drives. They are working fine in there NVMe enclosures. Update: I bought the 256 GB size to upgrade an HP Stream Model 14-cb116ds which had only 4 GB of ram, 64 GB of eMMC storage and a Celeron N4020 processor. Everything is working as expected. Update: It has been over a year since I purchased the Timetec 1TB SSD NVMe for my Dell Latitude 5490. It is still working well. The M.2 slot is only PCIe 3 x 2 limits the speed of the drive a PCIe 3 x 4, see the Crystal Disk Info. The speed is still good. It is a little bit different from the first Crystal Disk Mark that was run with the default settings. The new one was run with the NVMe settings. It has listed Read/Write speeds of 2,000/1,600 MB/s. It is great value for the price.

It arrived in a small package, pulled it right out of the box and comes with the Nvme SSD with the Heatsink already installed. It felt little heavy so there is weight to it therefore the build quality felt premium. Installation was very easy to do, I plugged it into my PS5 and fits perfectly. I booted my PS5 and right off the bat it detected the SSD and did a format. I was able to redownload my PS5 games on to the drive. It functions great, the download speed of it was very fast. Tested out some games on it, there was no overheating, it works as expected. TimeTec feels like a reliable company and reaching out to them about the warranty and registration of the device was straight forward. I definitely recommend them on their devices.

Works as intended.

I was drawn to this Timetec NVMe SSD due to its Phison E27T controller, 3D NAND TLC flash memory, and included heatsink. The price point was attractive, and the sequential read/write speeds met the advertised expectations. Performance: Sequential Speeds: These are consistent with what was promised, making it efficient for transferring large files. Random 4K Q32T1 Write: Here, the drive falls into the lower performance tier for NVMe SSDs. Ideally, for a primary drive, I'd look for a Random 4K Q32T1 write speed of at least 1000MB/s, if not 2000MB/s, for optimal system responsiveness. Usage Suitability: Primary Drive: Given its random write performance, it's not my top choice for this role if you're after peak system performance. Secondary Storage: However, as a secondary drive, this Timetec NVMe offers solid value at a good price, particularly for storing less frequently accessed data or as a game library. In summary, while this NVMe SSD doesn't excel in random write performance, it's a cost-effective solution for additional storage or for tasks that don't heavily rely on small, random writes. (I can confirm this product functions in an Asus TUF A16 laptop)

I'm one to encourage smaller brands by buying from them ahead of the bigger, better known ones. Timetec, being a smaller brand, was no exception. The specs for write-read speed, the 1,800 TBW, the DRAM cache etc were comparable to bigger brands: WD, Samsung SN750, Crucial etc. Now, couple that with all the glowing reviews, and I was willing to give this one a try. My hope was really high on Timetec that I, in fact, bought their 3D NAND SATAIII SSD (1TB) as well. Installed the 2TB stick into my Dell Latitude E7470 with no problems. Installed my Windows 10 and booted up the system. Again, no problems. Then, I installed the CrystalDisk info to check for the SSDs health. And that's when things went south. Now, the health status read 98%. Odd, considering the SSD stick is brand new. So, I ran it again. Same thing. I got in touch with customer service. They replied promptly. Said it was indeed strange. I didn't hold this against them. After all, sometimes one slip through the cracks. So I returned it for a replacement. On receipt, I ran the same health check. Again 98%. I said to myself, maybe it's not a big deal. Let's see if the read-write speed is as blistering as advertised. So, rather than a 3,400/3,000 MB/s value, I got readings that were almost HALF that: 1,735.64/1,634.45 MB/s. Now, keep in mind, I mentioned earlier that I'd also bought the SATAIII SSD. Well, this experience prompted my running a health check on it too. Fortunately, it came back 100% good. I wasn't quite ready to give up on this NVME SSD, so I somehow tried to convince myself that perhaps the fault was with my laptop. So, I switched out the Timetec, for another fairly up-and-coming brand Inland by Micro Center. Specifically, Inland Premium NVME 2TB. Installed it. Ran a check. Health status 100% good. Enough to convince me to return this Timetec for a refund. Mailed customer service to share my experience and advised them to do a better across-the-board quality control check on this product. They replied with a courteous apology for my unpleasant experience. I would've given this a 2 star if not for their prompt CS response. That said, you can take your chances with this 2TB SSD. But off the top of my experience, I'd suggest a pass on this one ... for now. Hope this review was helpful. * **************************************************************************************** * UPDATE (12/16/2022): As you can see, I've upgraded the star rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. And here's why. The previous review (which I'll keep up to give you context) was based on the "old logo" Timetec. This is me, now, after purchasing the "New Logo" Timetec. My initial thoughts were: "It'll take more than just window dressing the SSD stick with a new plastered-on logo" to sway me. What's under the hood of this newer iteration? Well, that's what I was about to find out. My previous qualms were twofold: 1) The health percentage was under 100%. 98% to be exact. 2) Write/Read speeds were less than half of what they advertised. But, since that time, I've taken possession of a Dell Precision 5520, which has two SSD slots: One for SATA III SSD, and the other for M.2 NVME SSD. So, as I browsed through Amazon for a new SSD to slot in, I'd noticed Timetec had updated their logo. And so I said to myself."Hey, why not give it another try?" So glad I did. Trust, I ran a Chrystaldisk info heath check. Came back 100%. Same for the SATAIII SSD. Speed was also close to as advertised. Two thumbs up. Oh, and before I forget, let me add that the average core temp was sub 39 degrees (with a silicone thermal pad). Now I can confidently declare, "go get Timetec." They're an upcoming US based brand with probably one of the best pricing you can find in the market.

Been using in my playstation 5 for a few months now and have had no problems whatsoever, don't notice games preforming slower on this than they would being downloaded directly onto my playstation. The heatsink ads a lot of peace of mind while using it as well. Very easy to install.

Although my PC is on PCI 3, this is PCI 4. Nevertheless the boot up times have improved slightly but the application load times have significantly improved, specially Flight Sim Game when compared to the 2.5 inch SATA III SSD. Thanks to the heatsink, the drive does not get warm.

First of all, for anyone worried about the brand, don't worry about it: "Timetec may not be a household brand but is in fact a Liteon OEM - the latter being a Kioxia brand, formerly known as Toshiba Memory. So far from being a no-name entity, it is actually far more reputable and reliable than many of the lesser-known brands." Performance is exactly as described, faster than many SSDs that cost double the price using HMB instead of DRAM (HMB borrows your computer's memory while DRAM is a dedicated memory built into the SSD itself). The price per Gb of this drive already make it an easy choice, add the speed performance and DRAM cache to it and it really makes no sense going for anything else. Longevity is hard to vouch for but the testing I did on it shows it's a little above average, so I really can't complain. Amazing product!!

Pro: Price & reliability - the sixth Timetec SSD, (NVMe & SATA), SSD I've purchased in the last two years, none of them have failed or not met the stated performance. Con: None Recommend Timetec if you're looking for a fairly priced SSD upgrade.

Works fine on Dell Latitude 5490 ( Windows 10 pro): First, I made a bootable USB stick + a window's system image on an external disk. Then I replaced the original 512 Gb NVMe with this new 1 Tb, and restore the image = worked fine and have twice the original space.

I installed the memory on my ps5 and after a week of a lots of use, I can say is really good and perfect for what I need. Thank you so much !!!!
