ADATA Swordfish 1TB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe M.2-2280 Internal Solid State Drive

This is a very affordable and decently speedy NVME M.2 SSD to populate those slots on any motherboard. Only thing I should caution on is that the heatsink comes pre-installed out of the box.First time around, I tried to gently peel off the heatsink, and I ended up snapping one of the 3D NAND chips cleanly off its lead. If you must need the heatsink removed for placement under a motherboard M.2 heatsink, then I'd use a razor blade or something, or let the SSD warm up during normal usage before attempting to remove.I was able to get a replacement unit after returning the now-defective product. Speeds are very impressive for the price, and that is where all of my games primarily run off of.

Used this as my storage drive for new home desktop and it is really fast in comparison to even my old SSD. Also love the size. I found a board with 2 M.2 slots so the only moving parts of my new PC are the CPU and PSU fans. Makes for a very clean build as well because there are no cables. I've had very good luck with ADATA products in the past and I like the warranty even though I've never had to use it.

For a 1 tb m.2 ssd, this is definitely a great choice. It has dram so it’s by no means slow. I use it as a boot drive/game storage and the boot times are speedy!

it Performs fast read and write. Nothing wrong with this SSD and the price is so reasonable and affordable for 1TB storage.
