If you are looking for fast boot times, this drive does not do that. It's not designed to. It's designed to improve OS performance. I can verify it has improved load times of Star Citizen drastically. What used to take 2-3 minutes now takes 20-30 seconds. The Drive cannot be bound to hardware Raid via BIOS although it does not matter which setting you have in the BIOS. You would need to set up software raid in windows (google it)Quoted from Mushkin: MushkinSean Administrator Posts: 690 Thank you received: 98 Karma: 40Hi,The Scorpion Deluxe takes time to initiate, there is no way to speed up the boot.The purpose of these drives is the increased performance in the O/S, boot speed is nice, but it is the performance in the O/S that counts.Overall pleased with the drive; Only real downside I can see is that this drive runs extremely hot, more heat than an i7 under full load. You will want well placed case fans to assist in this cooling. Do NOT place it near your GPU's try to keep them as separated as possible, also you will not get the performance you expect if you don't know which slot to put this drive in to. Only use this drive in PCIe x16 3.0 slots to take full advantage of it's max performance capability.Advice: Remember when it comes to raw transfer speeds; Large files will always transfer faster than many small files. ### ⭐ seller was great. I will buy from seller again in a ... *by L***. on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 16, 2015* Product was shipped on time, seller was great. I will buy from seller again in a blink of an eye.The ssd on the other hand was a piece of s***......Takes too long to boot.Will only work with certain motherboards.I have a Gigabyte z97x G1 Gaming Wifi/Bk and it chrashes non stop. I I even tried it with my Asus motherboard and an Asrock one. It only works with the cheap Asrock.Make sure you know someone who has one and try it out in your com before you buy it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best PCIE drive on the market at since it's release *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on November 25, 2014* The LSI driver is slow for many motherboards to read during POST. SO your boot times will be fairly slow.That being said, these drives are FAST AS %$#@!!!!!!!!!!!! Best drives on the market at the moment (pre NVME)It's as fast as the old DDR-SDRAM iDrive's, but in large format & doesnt require 24/7 power + battery backup.2.1gb/s read1.9gb/s write100,000k IOPSI run two in software RAID-0 & OS installed to an 800mb/s m2 SSD. Speed when working with many files or moving large files is insane.Made in USA.Mushkin has been around a long time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10211394-mushkin-enhanced-480gb-scorpion-deluxe-pcie-ssd-x8-4-way](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10211394-mushkin-enhanced-480gb-scorpion-deluxe-pcie-ssd-x8-4-way) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
