Comparing 2 Gaming Computers

For $20, this is worth it all. If you are planning on having a backup or a really budget M.2 this would definitely make it. I currently have my windows installed on this and it's quite noticeable comparing to the older ssd's I had.

Got this to go between an M.2 SSD external case (which only came w/ a USB-C to USB-C cord) and computers that don't have USB-C. Data rate support of full USB 3.1 gen2 was important to avoid limiting the SSDs put in the case and lots of adapters force it down to lower speeds, even USB2.0.

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This M.2 came with my gaming laptop and is one of the fastest M.2 I have ever had! I highly recommend purchasing one of these.

I have a top of the line gaming laptop it had two m.2 ssd's and a one TB mechanical hdd and after having it a while I needed more room. I have never had any issues with the Samsung product line so I bought this SSD and wow my computer runs like new again and with two terabytes of disk space it has room again. Thanks to Samsung for such a great product and the price was great to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my gaming rig to have a bigger m.2 storage and my good the speed on this thing when transferring from m.2 to m.2 is fantastic.

This is a very good gaming laptop. Everything worked out of the box. I added a second m.2 drive and the installation was a breeze with the help of a couple of youtube videos. I'd highly recommend this Laptop.

I have installed it on my Asus gaming laptop for game storage as a second M.2 and it is really fast and even without heatsink, it doesn't get hot. I am considering now to buy a second one with 2TB for game storage and makes the 1TB version the primary one for the OS, as it is faster than the pre installed Samsung ssd.

I purchased this as an upgrade for my custom PC build, and let me say this is really fast. I use this for editing as well gaming, and in the proper M.2 NVME port, this thing can sustain full 3,000 mb/s read/write speeds with no problem. Absolutely love it.

My teenager needed a new computer for school work. He wanted to have a computer for gaming. I have tried other companies (both laptops and desktops) and have always enjoyed my HP computers more than the others. The computer came sooner than expected and was very easy to set up. There was none of the usual "free" apps or updates that were needed for previous purchased computers. Within a couple of minutes, he was already gaming. This Envy satisfied both of our needs.
