Samsung 860 EVO MZ-N6E250BW 250GB M.2 Internal SSD

This is an amazingly good drive for the price. I bought it to install in our new Atari VCS system to add to our games collection and be able to use PC Mode for Wndows and Linux Ubuntu. It installed easily and is fast (just what we need when getting systems going for kids playing games these days!). It's a great product if you have the slot to use it in - I highly recommend it! Thankyou PB Tech for the great deal. This is an amazingly good drive for the price.

This isn't the one I was after but it was such a good price I jumped on it.
Very useful fast SSD. I would have bought more but the site kept stating that there was only 1 left... lol This isn't the one I was after but it was such a good price I jumped on it.

made this the boot disk (HP Pavillion 14-bf023tu) instead of the 1 tb HDD, and from power up to login screen in around 15 secs, even faster than the wife's X1 Yoga Gen 3 boot up time...

Does its job well. Runs fast, however, Windows only shows 480GB. Decent price as well and is great for a boot drive.
Seamless integration with my motherboard and no issues! Does its job well. Runs fast, however, Windows only shows 480GB. Decent price as well and is great for a boot drive.

My older B450 motherboard only supports sata in the second spot.
So this was the best choice for a game drive. My older B450 motherboard only supports sata in the second spot.

This drive not only runs lightning fast, but is also large enough to hold all of my work programs and games! Definitely recommend it! All pros, no cons!

Installed in Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 4. Straight forward install, fast boot and app loading, though Win10 Pro OS install was also fresh. Good value extra capacity. Installed in Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 4.

I use these for system drives in several (8th- & 9th-generation) Wintel desktop PCs.
They are easy to install, fast, and run cool (typically 33 deg C at idle).
Very good value at current prices, and totally reliable.

My first time installing an M.2 drive - it was relatively straight forward to install and had no problems. My first time installing an M.2 drive - it was relatively straight forward to install and had no problems.

good to have in M2 format to save space, not as fast as nvme drives. good to have in M2 format to save space, not as fast as nvme drives.

Saves the hassle of having to manage more SSD cables in my ITX build. Saves the hassle of having to manage more SSD cables in my ITX build.
