Addlink S91 1TB 2230 NVMe High Performance PCIe Gen4x4 2230 3D NAND SSD - Read Speed up to 4900 MB/s Compatible with Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Laptop, Internal Solid State Drive - (ad1TBS91M2P)

UPDATE after 13 months of continuous use, absolutely no issues whatsoever in my Windows 10 pc. I've installed the drive into a new laptop as well recently and it's perfect as well. I'm amazed at its reliability and speed compared to the Samsung competition.Original Review:I was nervous as I never have heard of this brand before. I also live in another country so an RMA for a DOA drive would be a huge hassle. But the price to capacity ratio was too good to pass up. After reading many positive reviews of it, I decided to pull the trigger. It arrived today and I have already installed it with no issues.I used Macrium Reflect to clone my Samsung 960 EVO 512 NVMe to the 1tb version of this Addlink drive and all went very smoothly. My system rebooted and saw the new drive, automatically booted from it as the C drive (after I removed the old one of course). So there are no issues at all installing this as a boot drive for Windows10. Crystal Disk Mark shows speed is just a tad faster than my 960 EVO on sequential reads, which is most important for me as I'm moving huge files in the 50-100gb range all day long.I must say that it is a relief to see this drive perform as advertised - and installed, cloned, and booted with zero issues. I am now enjoying the extra space available for doing my work and I only wish that my motherboard supported more than two NVMe slots because I'd like to put more of these in my system.If you're on the fence about this drive, I say go ahead and give it a try. My experience was positive and I hope this causes the prices of other brands to drop in response.

I got this to increase my internal storage of my ROG Ally. It took a couple minutes to install and since I did not copy my files over and did the Cloud Install that is in the Bios, the setup was very quick and painless. I downloaded multiple games at once and the write speed was great, Got DIablo 4, Palworld, and Cyberpunk 2077 all at the same time and the usage stayed low.So far it is well worth the cost

I got this as a nice upgrade for a Steam Deck (LCD) that had the original 512GB SSD installed. As I searched for drives that would work, and browsed reviews of another brand that I was more familiar with, I was a bit disappointed in the number of negatives that turned up for the first brand that I was looking at. Back to the list of drives that were of the right type and mentioned Steam Deck and this one showed up with very positive reviews. Add me to the list of positive reviews. This drive worked like a champ, was easy enough to install (plenty of guides out there that you can follow for doing this yourself) and was competitive for my desired expenditure levels. While I was first considering a 1 TB drive, this will take me well into the future for the games that I might want to play on my now running that OS that is made by a certain Seattle based company. (I still have my original OLED deck that I'm leaving with Steam OS installed on it)Thanks to this drive and the move over to that other famous OS I can play games that otherwise wouldn't run on the deck and get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Thanks to the A to Z store for carrying these and also thanks to them for quick fulfillment.

I get read and Wright speeds equivalent to the specifications or even higher consistently. Very pleased works better than higher priced top brands! Very pleased. Easy install and long technical support as a bonus.

I can only speculate about the quality of it, as it was stolen and never got to use it, but it was small and really cute, and it felt pretty solid, the part I liked the most was that it was 2 inches in size, like an SD card, but with a TB of memory, as the capacity was awesome. Starting to feel a bit forced here, but, to the compatibility or heat level or performance, I cannot say one way or another as I did not get the chance to actually use it, which is a shame, but apparently is no way to track it or find it at all. I might buy it again though.

I'd never heard of this Taiwanese company before, but like other reviewers I gave their product a shot only because of its excellent reviews. I'm glad I did. Since I based my purchase on these reviewers' advice, let me add mine.I purchased the 1TB version and it arrived in a box with the M.2 SSD only. It does NOT come with an M.2 screw, so make sure you have one that came with your motherboard (or purchase one on Amazon). With a screw, the card installed very quickly and easily.As a warning, this SSD does not come with migration or cloning software, and as far as I can tell addlink does not offer this type of software as a free (or even paid) download. So if you're replacing an existing hard drive or SSD, and want to migrate your Windows installation and files to the addlink SSD, you'll need software like Acronis True Image. Other SSD companies like Crucial come with a free downloadable version. If you're doing a fresh OS install, you're good to go.Once installed with my Windows 10 Pro installation cloned, I got far better speeds than my old SATA SSD. addlink states you should expect 3400/3000MB/s read/write speeds, but I got above that, 3453/3229, with an Intel i7-9700K with 16GB of DDR4 3000 RAM. Windows boots in about 5 seconds. Everything is zippy and feels really next-level fast.I can't speak to this SSD's longevity, but it's rated at 1200 Terabytes written, an MTFB (mean/average time between failures) of 1.8 million hours, and comes with a 5 year warranty.If you're looking for a lot of blazing fast storage at a great price, it's hard to see how you could go wrong. Highly recommended.

Seems a little slower than the stock SSD at times (usually when allocating during downloads) but performs well during gameplay.

I added this to my ssd enclosure hun and the speeds are great. Seems to be a very reliable ssd and it was at a great price.
