I have ordered the WD NVMe M.2 drive in 500 GB and in 1 TB. Multiple times. Some boards do require a upgraded bios for the 3rd Gen M.2. do it before installation of a operating system on the M.2 Drive.PROS: They are small and FAST! Easy to install.CONS: Out of the 5 that I have ordered for work and home, I have finally got a bad one. It took me a while to narrow it down. Long story short, it losses power and crashes the entire computer. Amazon quickly helped me and are sending the replacement drive.Not a bad enough experience to give it a 2 star rating, but because of the time loss, the WD support wanting to diagnose it after I said it was defective (which I also understand). Its definitely "Not" enough to give it a 4 or 5 star.Would I buy it again ? Yes, maybe not Western Digital though. There are multiple companies that sell this. I just went cheap.

I also bought a PCIe x16 adapter (Qnine) since I already had a 320Gb NVMe ssd drive on my motherboard (Asus Maximus VIII Hero). Performance was as advertised. I used Paragon Migrate OS software to transfer my system from the original SSD to the WD BLACK SN750 1TB NVMe. Performance is as advertised and a check of the read and write speeds confirmed the advertised values. Remember there are two types of these drives you need to know that the NVMe ssd drive is a type "m" keyed M.2 board. I am not a gamer so I have not rated this for gaming and I have not had to call Tech Support. However, I have used WD drives for years and have had not failure or other tech issues with any of them.

Upgraded SSD to increase new workstation capacity, with decent speed & reliability- Relatively fast & expensive option.- Beware WD SSD Toolbox software does not work on brand new up to date Win10PRO64BIT- Would not recommend this drive unless speed is your absolute priority (even beats out Samsung 960Pro).There are multiple alternatives at less than half the price...

It runs at the rated speeds per the capacity (3300+ read 2900+ write in my first test). You will get some variance from other users, some results faster some slower, but that's hardware for you. PNY is as reliable of a brand as Samsung in my experience and the XLR8 (accelerate) line is their top performer. This is peak M.2 PCIE 3 NVME.If you need the highest performance even in the other reads/writes then I'm sure Samsung and WD might hit them harder, but not for the price. The only thing missing though is a nice sticker in the box. I get them with products I don't expect to and don't get them in products I would expect them in. Such is life.

Synology M.2 Adapter Card (M2D18)

Bei mir kam die M2 SSD in Verbindung mit einem Asrock B450m Pro4 und Ryzen 5 2600x leider nicht auf die angegebenen Geschwindigkeiten, sondern nur auf etwa 600-800 MB/s, da es leider nicht als PCIe Gen3.0x4, sondern als PCIe 1.0x4 erkannt wurde.Habe mir nun die WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD eingebaut und die kommt auf ihre Speeds.

Already converted the 2.5-inch drive in my HP Envy 17 to a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB drive and saw the M.2 slot and thought it would be interesting to try something new. Then Amazon brought out the 860 EVO M.2 500gb ssd and I just couldn't resist. I have to say immediately that the installation hardware-wise is just like all the M.2 installs on YouTube, etc. Plug in at 30-degree angle with the five-contact side of the drive on the right with the sticker side up. Didn't come with a mounting screw, but I ordered a box with some in it (M2x3 with 4mm-4.5mm head I have been told.) M2x3 with4.5mm and it was installed. Cloning didn't work for me because of the large drive to smaller drive issue -- which left me with the regular SSD as boot and the M.2 as second drive. Since my laptop is brand new and doesn't have much personal stuff on it yet, I just decided to get a Recovery Drive USB key from HP and reload it. On a hunch I carefully uninstalled the regular SSD, leaving the M.2 as only drive. Ran the Recovery drive and the M.2 was recognized and loaded just fine (although took forever to get all the updates installed.) Read HP forum and watch YouTube reference all the installation iterations. The 860 EVO this review is about ran smooth as silk from the beginning appears to average about 540-550 read down and about 490-505 write (seq), compared to about 520 read and 490 write on the regular SSD above. I did try out the Samsung Magician software (a caching program using M.2 and system memory to speed things up) and that showed about 4700-5000 read and 4000 write. Seemed snappier to me, but read all the pros and cons on line because everyone doesn't agree on how good it is. Bottom line -- the 860 EVO M.2 is a brand new successor to a tried and tried product (850 EVO M.2) and I think it shows. I expect to have good service and modestly better performance. At this point I would recommend any of the 850-860 line SSD or M.2 drives to a friend.

I have a slew of M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA disks from Samsung - they are all beasts; the NVMe ones especially.These were installed in a QNAP as the QNAP doesn't support (without a PCIe card from QNAP), NVMe; but to that M.2 SATA that maxes out the SATA protocol will do just fine in most applications.

It is ridiculously fast when compared to a regular hard drive. However 24 hours after installing windows and putting everything else on sata hdd the 860 Evo decided to wipe itself completely clean after restarting windows. I reinstalled windows a few days ago and it hasn't erased itself again BUT sometimes when starting my computer it doesn't even register with the MB so windows doesn't boot. The MB is a brand new MSI 450m vdh pro max. Throughout all of the issues I've had with the Samsung SSD drive in the week that I've owned it my 10 year old Hitachi Sata HDD has not lost any data at all. Samsung support absolutely sucks also. I plan on trying out other brands. My experience so far is that these SSDs are many times faster than a hard drive but not near as reliable.

They distributed new laptops at work recently. Our new ones are HP 440 G7's. Predictably the powers that be declined to equip our new laptops with SSD's and dual channel RAM. I swapped out the factory 500GB HDD for a 500GB NVMe SSD and added a 2nd stick of RAM to allow the weak sauce integrated GPU to be all it can be. Since this is an OEM system, you don't get much freedom in the BIOS/UEFI so I needed RAM that would run at the stock defaults and this SODIMM from TeamGroup does just that. Same speed and near identical timings to that of the stock RAM. I installed the RAM and it was recognized right away. No problems at all.

Ordered 32gb kit. One stick DOA. BSOD, but it would boot up. After a few times, even the EUFI boot was damaged. Had a win recuvery usb. Long to short Had to re install Windows. I work on the road and it's taken 3 weeks just to find a win image disk. For $30.

I bought this to upgrade my laptop from 8 to 16GB and it worked great. I picked this one because it was the cheapest LP-DDR4 2666 8GB I could find at the time. Installation was easy - just take the bottom of the laptop off, pop it in, and boot it up.Another review mentioned that the RAM shows up as being clocked at half the advertised speed - this is not false advertising or a mistake but the way RAM works. DDR RAM transmits data *twice* per clock cycle (Dual Data Rate - the "DDR" in DDR4). When you see RAM sold as 2400, 2666, 3200, etc, MHz this is the "effective" clock rate. Whatever it is , the actual clock speed of the RAM will be half of that (regardless of manufacturer) for DDR RAM. Listing RAM speeds in MHz is wrong and potentially confusing (it should be MT/s) but I can't take any points off for this since all the RAM manufacturers do it.Keep in mind when buying RAM that if you mix two different speeds (e.g. 1 stick of DDR4 2400 and 1 stick of DDR4 2666) it will work but both will be run at the slower speed of the two. If you're adding an extra stick of RAM, check what speed you have already before buying, and then buy that kind. Or, if you want faster RAM than what you already have, it's best to replace all your RAM sticks.

Have yet to notice any issues with the ram. Easy packaging, easy install, good price.

I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 Series, that came with only 4GB of RAM, and while it wasn't the worst, anytime I played videos, or had any content-heavy pages up, I could feel the computer lagging, or working harder, to keep up. This 8GB Ram card arrived next day, was easy to install, and I immediately noticed a quickened improvement: I can have multiple pages open at once, multiple videos playing, or social media running, and I don't hear the fan running, or the videos taking long to buffer! A helpful quick fix, during a rough time, and only for $35.

Installed the RAM on a Lenovo L340 with 8th gen core i3. The laptop has only one slot so I swapped it for the 8GB factory RAM. The laptop immediately recognized the new RAM. All systems go!

Pros:-Great performance, 3 months without any problem.-The RGB is decent.-Works great with Asus Aura Sync.Cons:-They don't bright too much.-White color is not pure.-Very low led count, each memory have only 5 leds.-Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 compatiblity is awful. Effects like breathing or rainbow are the desyncronized between the modules. It doesn't happen with Aura Sync. I have a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite.

nice looking rgb ram kit memory profiles correctly identified ram on both of my motherboards great performance ouy thr box 16gb more than enough for most peoples use so hard to justify the cost of 32gb.even though it's a fair price. its not a need for the extra cost.

It does work at the advertised speeds (frequencies), but with it installed on my machine i experienced two BSODs which I really didn't take the time to investigate. The LEDs are dimm, very dimm, they do not have the bright vibrant colors that the Corsair RGB memory does. And they also cannot be changed or controlled by software, so i just returned this memory and went with the same specs but from Corsair, which is slightly more expensive, but works flawlessly, can be customized via software, and it is also offered in white.

This NVMe works rather well. Not too sure if it was meant to be any faster than a regular SSD, but this has the same boot time as my WD Blue 1TB SSD.The NVMe is easy to install, installed on an Asrock B365 Pro4 motherboard.Would I get this again? Yes, I would. Especially at its lower price than other 1TB NVMe are.

unless you are a developer or doing some mass CAD etc... this is honestly all you need. I can run games at max rates and this thing FLIES. sure the samsung and more expensive brands are "faster" but this is already significantly faster than anything you were using before. My computer goes from fully powered off to fully loaded within 9 seconds... do you really need more?

I just used this to upgrade the SSD in a new Lenovo P53s. A note on why CDM only shows partial capacity: it was partitioned-- (Lenovo sales swore up and down the P53s model I bought had dual SSD drives. Of course when I opened it up expecting to pop the Pilot-E in an empty slot, there was only one which was almost full due to migrated stuff from my previous computer, and also had the OS on it..) I had to use macrium, recovery usb and an external HD to get the image on there. What a PITA. I was just trying to get this thing working because school starts for me in a few days. (Mind you, I was upgrading from a 6 year old tank of a T530 with an Ivy Bridge which did everything I needed it to do, albeit....... ...slowly.)Anyway, I digress... this SSD works as advertised (fast!) and is incredibly inexpensive. I've used Mushkin memory before many years ago with great results, which is why I didn't hesitate to buy this SSD. What a steal!

I won't bother repeating what many of the other 4 or 5 star reviewers have said because their comments are spot on. This AIO works brilliantly in terms of cooling and is very quiet. I had an Enermax Liquitech II 360 and ended up having to remove it because of a rattling noise.The only criticism I have for the Arctic LF is for the AMD installation on my Asrock Creator X570 motherboard. I had to improvise the install using some of the screws/washers from the Enermax in order to fit it. That's because I didn't appear to have the right screws/equipment provided by Arctic to be able to screw it into my motherboard. It's possible that the installation procedure is based on a new motherboard, not one that had an AIO on in before, and therefore it expects you to have certain screws/attachments around. Clearly I didn't. I managed to get it to fit in the end, but now I can't resell my noisy Enermax AIO unless I can source some of the mounting kit.N.B. I have installed this in a tower, with the radiator horizontal at the top of the case. The pump is orientated with the VRM fan at the bottom. For those of you new to AIOs, I've learned the hard way that the orientation of these components is important. So I can vouch for this orientation being close to silent. My Enermax would rattle in this layout, and would only not rattle if I laid the case on its side, which is why I removed it after much tinkering.I hope this helps someone!

I'm running a 6700k @ 4.9 ghz and 1.34 volts. My Noctua U12S with an added fan in push pull config and was hitting temps of 85c in stress testing with ambient temp of 23c. Then I switched to the Noctua D15 and that lowered temps in same conditions to 79c.With the Liquid Freezer ii 360 my max temps are 63c under same conditions. I have the Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 360 mounted in front of case with the fans in a PULL config and it works beautifully. I did this for two reasons: #1 to get the cool air from front instead of the warm air inside the case being drawn thru the rad. #2 I wanted the rad to block noise from the fans a little bit.Lets talk about noise. This thing is Quieter than my Noctua U12s with fans in push pull! I couldn't believe it. But it really is. Not by much..but it definitely is quieter. Compared to the NZXT x63 which sounded like a jet engine this is the quietest cooling solution I have used.Next let's talk about Linux. The NZXT forces you to use their CAM software to control pump speed. It does not work on Linux. There was a cludgy command line solution but was not worth keeping it. Too loud and no Motherboard control of pump speed. The Liquid Freezer ii uses Standard PWM header to control pump speed. So it works no problems with Linux.You can separate the fans and put them on fan headers on the motherboard if you want. That is how I normally do things too. But in this case I decided to just leave the fans connected to the single splitter that connects them to the pump. So all of it... The pump and the fans are just thru a single connector. I was a little leary of that. But it worked flawlessly.I don't hear any pump noise. There is no coil whine from the either the pump or the fans (including the vrm fan).And last but not least. There is NO unicorn Vomit! Outstanding. That's just a me thing. Can't stand Unicorn Vomit.I've been using it for two weeks now. Hopefully this thing lasts a long time. When I mounted it vertically in the front of the case I was unable to orient it so that the rad ports are on the bottom of the rad. So mine are at the top. But they do sit higher than the pump. So hopefully that's good enough. And there is no bubbling noise so far. We'll see after a few years of permeation.I know you can get almost just as good of performance as the 280. But it was not in stock and only the 360 was in stock when I ordered. And my case can fit it no problems. But again..I know that the 280 has almost the same performance. Just go watch Gamers Nexus review on it.I am rarely so impressed with a single product. But this one exceeded every single one of my requirements and hopes.If this thing lasts 4-5 years it'll be near perfection. Kudos to Arctic on this product!

I was excited to see how well this AIO would perform in my system given how big it is! Fortunately, it's performing up to spec based on benchmarks I've seen. I'm running a I7 6700k OC'D to 4.6Ghz @ 1.3V and it maxes out as 66c after benchmarking and playing games heavily. Very good performance. I wasn't able to push my system anymore since the VRMS on my motherboard simply refuse to go any further...Performance aside, it's very quiet after giving it some time after the initial setup to get rid of any air bubbles in it.Installation onto the motherboard didn't take much effort at all, in fact it was easier than installing my Hyper Evo 212 air cooler 4 years ago since there are no springs to it. It barely fit in the front of my Phanteks P500A case. Had to take the top off temporarily in order to install it accordingly.It's been working for over 4 days now and it seems like it will last a very long time as long as I clean out the dust every now and then from the Radiator and VRM cooling fan. I'm ok with NO RGBs on it as the performance is what matters in the end. Only bad thing I found is that this product doesn't contain all the AMD mounting screws but that's ok since they can be swapped with alternative screws like the ones you use to install hard drives/SSDs.The packaging is what really bothered me. It was a heavily tapped up box where they didn't even bother to put all the screws in the plastic bag that was left inside. So I was left to pick up all the screws in the smaller box. Not a big deal but given the price you pay for this it should come packaged better...

No way to secure drive in some Phanteks Ethoo 2.5 inch drive bay. The standard side fitting points have been ommited and none of the underside holes match with the Phanteks Ethoo case glass side ssd mounting points. As the LED panel is meant to be viewed it would be pointless to mount in a standard cage. Not as colourfull as advertised.

It definitely does what I was looking for. Adds color and looks to my PC without being cheap looking. It actually looks hi tech like you have a mini LCD panel. Speeds are fine so no tradeoff there either. There are 2 pixels out on mine but only noticeable when up close. Also in my case it's upside down due to how I can run the cables/connectors (nzxt h210).

RGB is nice, can be controlled by corsair icue. Got 3 on raid 0 as downloads buffer drive and it got over 1400 mb speed 400-500 speeds if in none raid

If you are planning on building a budget gaming PC or maybe just a fairly powered workstation, this a decent option to go for. It has a max output of 650W which is more than enough for most low to mid-tier systems out there. It is bronze certified which is also the minimum certification you should look for in a power supply and a warranty of 5 years. To be honest I don't know what Thermaltake refers to as "SLI/CrossFire ready" since not many people are doing either SLI or CrossFire anymore, plus it only comes with two 8 pin PCIe connectors, so you can either connect up to two cards with either 6 or 8 pin connectors or 1 card if it requires more than an 8 pin connector.Something else that I don't like that much is the fact that the CPU power connector (ATX connector) is only an 8 pin connector, which for most CPUs could be enough but some motherboards (like the Asrock B550m Steel Legend) has the option to connect another 4 pin connector for the CPU, which for high tier CPUs is required.So these two facts are more than enough to think through what are your system's requirements based on CPU and GPU and make your decision based on this. That being said, for my personal case, I think this PSU was a great choice, like I said I'm rocking an Asrock B550m Steel Legend with a Ryzen 5 3600 and an XFX RX580.

I just assembled a new system recently with a Ryzen 3600 and an RX5700XT. Works like a charm, haven't had any issues and I have a lot of stuff plug into the PC.1 Nvme, 2 SATA SSD, 1 HDD. All 7 USB-A ports covered, and I'm even using the USB C port.Good PSU for the price.

It was a great supply. I loved that I could choose to not install the extra cords. It was also very quiet and easy to install. But mine died after a couple of months. I opened it up so that I could maybe find a fuse and there was both no visible fuse nor any visible burn on the controller. Since I cracked it open, including the secret screw behind the sticker, I assume I broke the warranty, so I threw it away. I probably just had a factory defect and I could have swapped it under warranty had I not gone digging.
