Mushkin Helix-L – 2TB PCIe NVMe 1.3 – M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) – Gen3 x4 – 3D TLC - (MKNSSDHL2TB-D8)

Very fast SSD, doesn't overheat and has never crashed or lost data after a year of using it.

I wanted to replace my last and final disk-based drive and I'm using the more expensive Samsung EVO as my primary. As a secondary drive what can say, I have no complaints. Install was a snap and the drive is super zippy and works great in the role it serves. But the price is a "cannot go wrong" part of that equation. Very happy with the purchase.

Used daily in my system for 2 years this month. My MSI B550 Motherboard has two NVMe(?) drive slots. I use it in the second slot for games and data storage. Never had a problem with it.

Awesome

I was in great need of a faster storage device for gaming and not sitting at loading screens on Total War: WH3 for 10 minutes at a time while using a normal HDD this drive made my load times go down to < 30 seconds

Plugged in, secured with a screw (does not come with the drive), and cloned old SSD with commonly available free cloning software. Much faster than the SSD it replaced. I did add a copper chipset cooler over the controller chip on the topside of the drive. I ordered and installed the 1 TB version. So far, so good. Would have given "Easy to install" 5 stars had it come with a screw and if it had free cloning software provided on the manufacturer's website.. Will add to the review at the one-year mark. Longevity remains an unknown.

I bought this for video editing on my M1 MacBook Air, which only has 250GB in it. The drive is plenty fast for the job and I have had absolutely no trouble with it after half a year.

Package was great
