## Description

Buy

Review: Great hard drive - Great hard drive, replaced my previous M.2 drive in my Dell laptop with this - simple to install, really fast, boot speed is around 7 seconds running Windows 11 Pro, though I'm going to partition the drive and dual boot with Linux and check the performance at a later stage.
Review: Slow performance - Got two of these on Prime Day and both of them can be ridiculously slow to read from, but when I run crystal disk benchmark, sequential reads show a good speed > 3000MB/s but when I play a game or copy files from them it's more like 30MBs, it's so slow games load with textures missing (Baldur's Gate 3 and Forza for example), moved the games (slowly) to a Western Digital SN850X (which is my boot drive) and everything instantly loads I've made sure trim is running etc, and installed Transcend's SSDScope software Apart from the WD SN850X, I'd always gone Samsung with previous drives for me and my family, and never had any problems, lesson learnt UPDATE: basically the benchmark is quick because it writes data that ends up in the DRAM cache, which then reads nice and quick at expected speeds, but if you switch off the cache or benchmark with a file bigger than the cache it is 20-30MB/s again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hard drive
*by W***L on 14 November 2025*

Great hard drive, replaced my previous M.2 drive in my Dell laptop with this - simple to install, really fast, boot speed is around 7 seconds running Windows 11 Pro, though I'm going to partition the drive and dual boot with Linux and check the performance at a later stage.

### ⭐ Slow performance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ £61 for 2TB was a Prime Day bargain, but performance isn't great
*by S***W on 16 July 2023*

This was great value storage space and a massive upgrade on what I had before, but it's a fair bit slower than advertised...
