Timetec 256GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 NGFF 128TBW Read Speed Up to 550MB/s SLC Cache Performance Boost Internal Solid State Drive for PC Computer Laptop and Desktop (256GB)

My 2 tb crucial drive dies suspiciously a month after the warenty expired. Was used under extremely light load in a 13 in laptop used just for typing notes and light Internet use. Unfortunately this 512 costs as much as the 2tb did when new due to the ai ram apocolipse. It got my little note taking machine back up and running it's an older sata so it's not as fast as newer nvme. 512 is pretty small but enough for my use and then some, the bigger drive I had was intentional overkill when ssds were cheaper. Still an upgrade , much bigger than the 128 it came with it. It's sata which is compatible with mine, if yours is nvme this drive won't work and is much slower. It doesn't generate any heat and was completely compatible with my little laptop. It isn't any bigger or weigh any more than the drive it replaced.

Timetec will be my first choice for inexpensive storage/RAM from now on. I purchased this SATA SSD because i was looking for something inexpensive/low capacity to run in my RPI for Homeassistant OS. Installed this shortly after purchasing it in September of 2023. It worked without issue until a couple weeks ago when i experienced storage failure. I attempted to re-install the OS, but was unable to. Based on experience it looked to me like the SSD had gone into read only mode, which is common with flash storage failure. I emailed support since it was within the 3 year warranty they offer and they promptly provided me with a shipping label to return the failed SSD. After receipt, they had my replacement shipped out that same day and when it arrived i was up and running again (was able to restore from the most recent backup no issues). Is it ideal that the SSD failed? No. However, my RPI is running 24/7 and has data being pretty much constantly written to it, so i am not all that surprised. Support was fantastic (shout out to Mark) and they replaced my drive no questions asked. I will definitely be purchasing more products from Timetec in the future.

Perfect exactly what was needed for old hp laptop no issues with setup came in secure package. And is pretty fast

This drive was to replace a os drive in a laptop that only supports sata m2 drives. Did a clone of the os drive to it. Seemed to be very speedy on that. once installed the system recognized it immediately as the os drive and booted with no problems. The 106gb drive in the laptop just was not living up to everything now a days and I needed more space. being a ssd there is no noise from it and the storage capacity while not the largest for what I needed was likely more than enough and the price was a good deal. Never heard of the brand before but seems to be working great we will see how it handles long term.

When the generic SSD hard drive in my BMAX mini-PC failed I knew I needed to replace it and reinstall Windows 11 immediately. That meant getting a new drive FAST. I needed traditional SATA (not NVMe), the 2280 form-factor, and "B+M" (dual-notch) keying. I highly recommend you physically examine your SSD "stick" before ordering, because there are a lot of variations! Timetec was one of the few vendors offering this spec with overnight delivery. After reading good reviews, I pulled the trigger. While I was waiting, I used the Windows Media Creation tool to make an installable USB stick. The Timetec drive installed with ease and was recognized by the BIOS. Since I used a USB 3 stick (and port) the Windows 11 install went fast. Since the install, my new Timetec SSD has performed flawlessly, booting fast and running all my apps at warp speed! Highly recommended.

I bought this to upgrade the storage of an older machine that doesn't support NVME. SATA m.2 drives aren't very common anymore so this is a decent option, time will tell if it holds up, but this drive shouldn't see a lot of writes so I expect it to last a while.

It works like a quick, lightweight upgrade that drops into the system with almost no effort. The M.2 2280 SATA format makes installation simple, and once it’s in, the 512GB capacity gives plenty of room for apps, files, and everyday storage without feeling cramped. Despite being slim and light, it stays cool under normal workloads thanks to its efficient 3D NAND design, so there’s no noticeable heat buildup even during longer transfers. The broad compatibility with Windows and Linux means it fits easily into older laptops or desktops, and the 550/500MB/s speeds make the whole machine feel more responsive.

I bought this cheap ssd for my first PC build ever thinking it would be OK to cheap out on atleast one component as everything else on my pc was expensive but GOD WAS THIS A MISTAKE. (I have used this ssd for approximately one year) First issue I had with this my PC was random heat spikes from the cpu which led me to believe the cpu was just a lemon but I stuck with it anyway cause it wasn’t a big deal. SECOND my sound setting would randomly jump up and down in games and in movies, sometimes even just looking at the actual sound setting you could watch all of them jump from 70-100% sound like a ghost was messing with me. Again I ignored this as I didn’t want to spend another 300$ on another CPU. THIRD issue I had with this PC my ICUE program would not run properly and neither would my LCONNECT software, fan lighting was a horrible experience so I was convinced it was the software. FOURTH ISSUE startup turned into 1-2 minute long start ups and I was also created with a “repairing drive c, press any button to cancel this” I had no clue what that ment, everytime I went to download stuff onto the drive it was working fine so I didn’t think it needed any type of repair. FIFTH AND FINAL PROBLEM: I could no longer install or delete anything onto the drive as once I restarted the pc everything would magically reset to its previous settings (example: I deleted iCUE, then reset my pc and boom it magically reappeared. I installed valorant then reset pc then boom it magically vanished. I was so frustrated as I thought this was some type of critical hardware failure, I couldn’t even play video games as after around an hour the whole pc would just crash. Finally I decided to try to fix the issue by starting with a new much more expensive name brand ssd and a fresh install of windows. My PC is now running faster then ever, sound bugs fixed, ICUE programs and lian li software running like a dream, do random heat spikes on my cpu no random crashes on my PC. This ssd has been a curse on me for over a year and because of it I almost spend another 300-400$ on components that I didnt need. (I know what your thinking, I must have downloaded a bunch of malware or things of that nature on the ssd, WRONG this pc and this ssd were used for Video games ONLY unless steam and riot games gave me a virus which I highly doubt) Do yourself a favor and spend extra cash on a name brand ssd unless you really don’t care about your pc and the information on it. Im finally free from this curse of an ssd. If I could give 0 stars I would.

جهاز لتخزين البيانات على الحاسوب من نوع NVME SSD SATA ينبغي أن تعرف بالضبط نوع قارئ التخزين الخاص بك او النوع الذي تقبه اللوحة الأم على حاسوبك لتشتري النوع الصحيح

Spitze! Hat meinen 10 Jahre alten PC wieder Fit gemacht. Eine große Verbesserung für wenig Geld. Endlich wieder Speicher frei auf c:\ Wichtig: ist das SATA3 Modell nicht PCI-Express! Für die Übertragung der Systempartition benötigt man allerdings eine spezielle Software.

A voir dans le temps, mais pour l'instant rien a redire.
