## Description

512GB PCIe Gen 3 x4 M.2 2230 Internal SSD

Review: Used for iPhone ProRes recording and it's awesome - I installed this M.2 drive into a USB-C external drive enclosure that uses mag-safe with my phone and have been using it for ProRes recording so I don't just fill my phone up in ten minutes of video recording. It installed easily, and after creating partitions, it worked and continues to work flawlessly. This little drive fit perfectly in the enclosure and has been super reliable at high transfer speeds over and over again. It didn't cost an arm and a leg either. Very happy with this drive for video recording!
Review: Worked right out of the box - I needed a quality 256GB SSD module to work with my Waveshare PCIe to M.2 Adapter for the Raspberry Pi 5. Apparently the Waveshare PCIe Adapter is quite picky about what brand of SSD modules will work with it. I noticed in the Waveshare PCIe Adapter video they were using either an Erin or a Transcend 256GB SSD module so I purchased the Transcend 256GB SSD module and it has worked just fine with the Waveshare PCIe Adapter. The RPi 5 Bookworm Desktop OS now boots up off of the SSD module lightning fast and I have upped the PCIe speed to the 'PCIe 3' mode from the 'PCIe 2' mode without any issues.
