## Description

Review: Fantastic performance and easy to install - Great drive which performs very well in benchmarks. Personally I use this drive for multiple virtual machines where it seems to be more responsive when booting, installing or performing disk heavy I/O. I could manage just fine on a SATA model, but this NVMe causes the VMs to feel more snappy and responsive in this scenario. Outside of this specific workload, the drive feels similar to my SATA SSDs since my other tasks are not usually limited by storage performance. After all, SATA solid state drives are already significantly faster and have very low latency compared to spinning rust (hard drives). Benchmarks were ran on my Ryzen 2700X system with an Asus Crosshair X470 motherboard. Due to being so compact and fast, these drives can get hot. Under heavy sequential write workloads these drives can get toasty and potentially throttle. Running CrystalDiskMark with default settings saw a peak temperature of 64C (22C ambient, installed in desktop but with no active airflow). I suspect that in a restrictive environment, such as a laptop, that throttling could possibly be common in heavy workloads. Packaging is good. Small cardboard box with a plastic shell protecting the SSD drive. It did not come with a screw to install the drive though as these are usually included with your motherboard. Very easy to install with no cables needed. Samsung magician software is also decent and easy to use with a clean design. I have tried a range of tools from other manufacturers but the Samsung software is a clear winner. It isn’t necessary, but it allows you to benchmark the drive, set overprovisioning, secure erase and more. Also make sure to install the Samsung NVMe driver from their website for optimal performance. As for desertcart, I have a mixed experience. The first drive I ordered was stolen (broken security seal and drive missing) but they quickly arranged a replacement without any hassle. The product itself though is fantastic.
Review: Everything as smooth as silk - What can I tell you? I've given it 5 stars because, so far, the whole operation of purchase, delivery, installation, installation of OS, and use, has been as smooth as silk. I decide to build a new desktop DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to run Ableton Live 10. And with the intention of connecting multiple audio and MIDI devices. I bought this Intel Mini PC from desertcart https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPMWTQS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's bare bones so needed a hard drive, memory, operating system and all the peripherals. I chose an M.2 type SSD after reading up on the internet about keeping down the heat generation and about operating speed. I chose this RAM for the same reason: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B01BNJL8I4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. For installation, I followed the instructions supplied by Intel (on the web). It was simple enough, and quickly done. But I did take the precaution of wearing an anti- static wrist band and earthing myself to the Mini PC chassis. Installing the OS on the drive was also just a case of following the bouncing ball. This OS was a great price at the time and it came supplied with Windows 10 on a USB key: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B0111YEG44/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But a much cheaper OEM version would do just as well. The PC boots up and Ableton opens up, all incredibly quickly. Installing any new USB device seems to happen in seconds. So I'd say the drive is working well with the PC and the RAM. Before I jacked up the permanent speed of the processor to around 4.45 Ghz from the standard 2.7Ghz, I don't think the PC fan operated at all, so I'd say, it's really not generating that much heat. So it's been one of those delightful (but sadly rare) experiences, when having chosen the product, then fitting it and using it just went very smoothly. I only have one pic, which shows the Mini PC itself... that measures a little over 10x10x5 cms and provides plenty of room for this M.2 SSD - I even have a Sandisk 2.5" SSD drive in there to hold my library files and it's certainly not "crowding" the Samsung.
