One of the cheapest 1TB Sata SSD I have found.I honestly purchased this model because money has been a little tight. My PC Only had 500GB of memory and it quickly filled up for games and programs.I bought this to make it so I wouldnt have to constantly remove programs and games just to install another one.Small, light, fits in the standard SSD bracket.NotE: This does NOT come with Sata Power connector nor the Sata Data Cable.Most people should have the Sata Power cable in the box with their PC extras (But always check before assuming). The Sata Data Cable you may need to purchase separately (but very cheap)It was a simple process. Attach to bracket, slide bracket into rack that is in your PC Tower, and plug Power Supply to it, then plug the data cable to it and into the mother board. Done. Very non-invasive install.Was formatted in seconds once the PC was restarted (just using windows).Have had no issues with it, installed larger games at basically the same speed as my NVME SSD (I know its a 'little slower' but to me there was no discernable difference, still 50billion times better than an old school HDD). This does have SATA III compatibility (best data transfer rate in a cabled SSD currently.At this price you really can't beat it. Hopefully it keeps up for over a year or 2 and I'll be happy.Keep In Mind: It is BLANK. If you are replacing the ONLY harddrive you have with this one, you will need to know how to install the OS (probably via a USB boot). In my case, I was simply adding it on top of existing memory storage, so it was super easy. Went from 500GB to 1.5TB in 15 minutes. If you are replacing the only harddrive in your computer, it will take extra steps so your computer will actually have an operating system and work. Be sure to make those preparations.Please, Be sure to look up how to properly install an SSD before attempting. Not because its not easy, but if you have never done it you need to research a little so you do not damage your PC, but promise, its not much at all. Just don't blame the seller if you didn't bother to get the info before the install.

I was using this with a new PCIe - SATA3 interface along with a 10 year old internal docking station. All the drive would do is lockup and go corrupt. Another bit of trouble shooting & I found my old docking station could not handle SATA3 speed. When the SSD was connected to the new controller it worked splendidly well. I will canx the return and will purchase a new SATA3 rated internal docking station.I installed Win 10 on this drive and all seemed to go well. Upon booting the new OS I received block read errors about 15 seconds into boot. I deleted all partitions, ran DiskPart Clean, recreated a formatted partition, loaded the OS again. Instant failure upon boot-up with can't read Block 0. Repeated on another computer, always had block read errors. Returned for refund.

So From what I gather, Team Group used to make an SSD just like this called the "Vulcan" and it sold for the same price (maybe even less?) and IT HAD DRAM. DRAM is good for performance, especially on a desktop computer. Since I'm using mine in an NVR, I don't really care about random write performance that much. So I bought 4 of these. They use a plastic chassis, and are packaged in a skimpy box - just like every other cheap SSD I've used.Ok, special call out: The 2TB model advertises a TBW of 1600. That's pretty impressive.Performance is good. My Ubiquiti Unifi NVR doesn't recognize the SMART drive health status so it doesn't tell me a health percentage on the webpage, but in smartctl I could see that info so that's good enough. Performance is terrific! Exactly what I was hoping for, given the price.

I hesitate to review a hard drive until it has done its job for a good long time. This comes from my IT background where we used to burn in the spinning to make sure they were good. I’ve had this for awhile now so I feel comfortable giving a review. I bought this because at the time the price was unbeatable. I use it to store movies and music as well as my extensive PC game collection. So far it has worked beautifully. It was very easy to install and my PC had no problems picking it up and formatting it. Know that all you will get is the drive so you will have to come up with screws to mount it in your case. It’s fast enough to play videos and works very well to run my games. So far happy with my purchase and love the amount of storage that it has provided.

Been using it in an external enclosure for storing digital movies & other MP4 video content that just takes up space on my internal drive but still want to keep. Price was good, reliability seems decent & read & write speeds seem pretty fast. Downloaded 100GB worth of video content in about a minute or so. It's a good alternative for those not looking to spend too much on the 1TB or bigger hard drives & fits & works great in 2.5 enclosures.
