TEAMGROUP MP44L 1TB SLC Cache NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4x4 M.2 2280 Laptop&Desktop SSD (R/W Speed up to 5,000/4,500MB/s) TM8FPK001T0C101

For what the 512 GB, 1/2 TB, 3.0x4 is designed, to be inexpensive and to work right for a regular multipurpose PC, these "little sticks of gum" are doing their job. I put these into 2 of my PCs that I am giving away, both of which are otherwise very powerful. Purpose being to remove all my data. In each, they seamlessly functioned as clean. And easy installation of windows. Something about a 4 TB 5.0x4 makes installation difficult, and those are for hot setups. So later on when the ladies I gifted these PCs to want to increase or "raid" them, they can do so easily, and won't need to install windows into their bigger faster SSDs.I know, the 3.0x4 go fast for awhile, then slow down a little, then fast again. That's not an instability. It's what 3.0s do. So, these do well and as expected. They were inexpensive, take windows easily. I like.

This has been my go to ssd drive lately.Its reliable and fast.I use these mostly in external ssd enclosures.I do have one in my PC running windows as my boot drive.Sleek design with no fuss. Literally plug and play (ok minus formatting, but you shouldnt buy this if you dont know about formatting, unless youre buying pc parts for someone else to put together)Have not had any compatibility issues.Speed has remained consistent and stable. I can move data from this ssd to my pc fast, and move data from my pc to this ssd fast.As i said these are my current go to. Price to quality its golden. I really enjoy team group items to begin with. Wuality is top notch and ive noticed their defective items to non defective items is smaller then most other companies ive seen. (Read - their quality control is top notch)

Great price to performance ratio. High speed, no reliability problems after 4 months. Not the highest performance drive on the market, but when using an SSD I kind of wonder if you really can notice any meaningful difference. I went from a Samsung Pro 1TB model to this one, and the only thing I really notice is the huge capacity increase.

I have had alot of luck with this brand, it would be nice if they offered cloning programs, like the other big names.Easy to install, great storage, fast and with any "fast" M2, get a good heatsink.

This is a great drive for a great price I personally use the MP404Q drives and and many of my builds so far I have had no issues with them.

My slight problem with this drive was installing it. Not cause I didn't know how, but wasn't sent and anchor screw with the drive. Also no instructions on how to install came with the box. Simply just the drive and the box pointing to the teamgroup website. Took me a bit to navigate the site to find the warranty info as well. Lucky I have a box of mixed computer screws and was able to anchor down the drive. Once installed and initialized works great and am happy with the performance.

500 GB at that speed and at a low price? I was surprised when I bought it, and it's been performing very well so far, no issues, and I've been using it for over 15 days. One of my best purchases.

Not going to add much that other reviews haven't already mentioned. CrystalDiskMark scores seem to be all over with this drive, based off other reviewers. Just adding mine to the mix.
