I purchased this $cheap$ ssd just to play around with. The drive is pretty quick as long as the files were not huge over 4gb's & have the drive filling up. I had problems with crashing while installed in a SONY PS4 Pro. Currently using to store & view media which looks to be the ssd's sweet spot as a catalogue storage drive. Not had any issues using as a media storage thus far. Don't buy for an OS it will slow down dramatically. Don'lt use it in a gaming console i had nothing but crashes. Using it as a media storage looks promising to me so far.Anyways it's dirt cheap so if it's a loss ah not a crusher..
I was fixing my aunt’s macbook pro with a dead HDD. I popped this in, patched a Big Sur install, and it is blazing fast and works great! She is happy and so am I! Totally worth the cheap price!
