Faster than the 970 Pro for less
This thing is as advertised, which is kinda rare in PC hardware. Check out the diskmark scores and see for yourself.
I used macrium reflect free version to clone my older 256GB ssd to this guy, enabled the UEFI bios to handle it and off I go.
Couple things to keep in mind with this drive or any NVME drive. Enable support in the BIOS. Without that, the drive will not be recognized. It's not DOA, you have to enable NVME in the UEFI(bios).
My board, z170 s didn't like any devices connected to SATA1 and SATA2 in order to work with this drive. The bios found it, but Windows 7 had a fit. It took me a bit to figure this out. Also, if you clone another OS drive to this one, pull the other drive and save any potential hassle.
I'm keeping my other drive for a bit just in case this thing fails because they model is new and ... well ya know..
I bought this before the price jumped up because once word gets out that this thing is as good as it is, the price is gonna skyrocket.
