I wanted to wait a while to give this review as prolonged use would be the best way to test it. With that said, it's been a few months now and so far it has been great! My read and write speeds are fast and about what you would expect from any typical SSD. I moved all my games from my HDD to this new SSD and have noticed significantly faster loading times, and no stutter or lag whatsoever. I also bought an external case to use this in and can plug into my laptop. It fit snuggly in the case and works well for what I need it for, which is mostly as quick load storage for my Steam games. It runs silently and operating temps are maybe only a couple of degrees higher than my room temp. For the price, this is absolutely worth it! The performance/storage to value makes it an easy choice.

I needed a new hard drive and this was a life saver, at the right price. This has been in my Frankenstein build for a long time and just keeps on working without issue. It replaced a name brand drive and I may never go back to name brand drives now!

I bought this to use as a secondary drive for some more space as the NVMe drive on my gaming laptop runs Windows and is only 258gb. So I can't tell you how well it boots or runs windows. I won't post any CrystalDiskMark scores because what we really want is real world usage and nobody really gets those scores. Easy to install other than a few broken fingernails getting the back of the laptop off. Cmos disk error on reboot because I disconnected the battery during install but Windows fixed on reboot. Used the disk manager to initialize and allocate to drive D. I'm posting some screenshots. C is my Windows Hynix NMMe drive. D is the Teamgroup AX 512gb SSD drive and E is my microSD card. Copying 160gb from my SD card to the Teamgroup drive took about 40 minutes. Not bad considering it was coming from a flash that doesn't read so fast. The Desktop (C) to Data were a windows 10 and 11 ISO files. The D to New folder is an example copying a file from D to D, in which it has to read and write at the same time. So there is some examples of real-world use. Speeds will vary depending on if you're copying from another drive, flash drive or within the drive as you can see. Fastest speed I saw was 450 mbps. Overall, I'm more than happy with it. Considering I was getting write times in the 20s and 30s on my SD card this is super-fast. Would I have gotten faster speeds if I had bought a WD, Crucial or Samsung? Maybe. But not enough to justify the extra money. As far as longevity is concerned, let's just say that I've never had a drive fail on me since I began using computers in the 90s. So take this for whatever it's worth. Good deal at $28.

No problems one star less for not having Acronis SW

Easy installation, is working flawlessly for me.

Got this for my girlfriends PC to replace the Pre-Built Kingfast SSD which chugged away for 10 minutes to even load the OS. The change in speeds is dramatic. This thing loads windows within a few seconds and has great performance overall.

I was cloning a 200+GB HDD drive onto it, and the sustained write speeds didn't drop below 100MB/s. Great value for the price. (I created a separate volume on the SSD for the benchmark testing hence why the size only shows 256GB in the picture)

ドキドキ購入した。今のところ使えてるが、宣言された速度まで出なかった。 ◾️目的 iMac 27インチ5KのHDDを入れ替えに使用した。 ◾️速度 計測した速度は読み取り、書き込みともに、400MB/Sぐらい。宣言された560と500まで届きません。 TEAMGROUP QX 4TB 3D NAND QLC 2.5インチ SATA III 内蔵ソリッドステートドライブ SSD (読み取り/書き込み速度最大560/500MB/s) 1000TBW ノートパソコン&PCデスクトップに対応 T253X7004T0C101

The read and write speeds are as advertised. Use this as a media storage and without issues. Pricing is reasonable.

A high quality product made from TeamGoup. I have purchased numerous items from this manufacturer for it's quality products. This was needed to replace a defective one in a laptop. Installed with ease and fast data transfer with very high TBW (Terabyte Written) count compared to many other brands. Highly recommended.
