FN955 1TB NVMe SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4, Up to 7300MB/s, 3D NAND TLC Flash Internal Solid State Drive, Configure SLC Cache, Storage and Memory Expansion for PS5 Laptop Desktop

I got this product to replace the old 1TB SSD in my ASUS Rog Zephyrus G14. I'm a software programmer and was consistently running out of space on my laptop. However, I didn't exactly want to pay a lot of money for a Samsung SSD, and this SSD was on sale for $160 for 4TB. I thought it could be a bit fishy, but considering the feedback that was already received, I thought this SSD was worth the investment. I went for the 7350MB/s model because paying extra for +50MB/s seemed pointless, and my laptop would probably not see a big difference between the two models. Upon receiving the SSD, I thought cloning would be hard. I used a simple M.2 enclosure from best buy to facilitate the transfer, along with some online software I found.Installing was as simple as discharging my hands, opening up the laptop, and plugging the new SSD in. Upon rebooting my laptop, the bit-level clone on this new SSD worked first-try, so I didn't need to reinstall Windows or any other programs. Unity now builds my projects about 3x faster and programs that took a couple seconds to open up now open instantly. The SSD is even at 2% usage maximum when playing a game. I loaded up World of Warcraft and saw a drastic increase in my FPS, and cranked up the textures in Fortnite to "Epic" and still saw an increase in performance from when I previously ran the game on "Medium" textures.In conclusion, this SSD is a lot better than other M.2s on the market and didn't require extra drivers. To clone my data, I opened up the disk partitioner and initialized the disk in partition-table format, then created a single new volume on it. From there, I was able to identify the disk in the downloaded cloning software, which made more partitions on the drive and then cloned it. Cloning 1TB (minus 156gb) of data took about 30 minutes, then I shut down the computer and replaced the drive. Upon installation, the PC immediately booted up normally and I didn't have to install any software. A driver prompt appeared at first which I accepted, and after 1 restart, the only thing different with my PC was the new storage space and some crazy speed from this new SSD.I definitely recommend this, solid 10+1 out of 10.Edit (2024-02-15): I liked this SSD so much that I ordered another 4TB model for my new workstation desktop!!! (I might plan on getting even more for the other slots) Thank you Fikwot!!!

Looks and feels well made, so far is performing well.. as I expected it should. Recommend!

Putting the heat sync on was easy, and they give you an extra thermal strip incase you mess up with one of them. The screws that came with it to pin its ass end down didnt fit my mother board so have a few on hand just in case. Installation was pretty easy just make sure its facing the right way and gently push it in until you get a click, was a bit harder on my pc because my gpu was in the way but i managed to do it without having to take anything out. Ill update my review in a few months because i seen reviews saying their drive died in a month but i think that has more to do with how they installed the heat sync or because they didnt install it. But the storage is massive and the speed is incredible, cut my load times by about 95% from my outdated bulky ssd drive. This seems to be a quality hard drive for a very good price, 10/10 would buy again

Easy to install with no issues. The read/write speeds are slower than what is stated but high enough to function with the PS5.

Installed in a ps5. Works well no issues. The speed is sufficient enough to have game installed on the device and no have to upload them to play

Great Product, Great Price, booted right up. Been building computers for years, and I was a little skeptical about the price of the product, but is doing its job.

Failed 14 months in. Originally thought it was the RAM (resetting it fixed it temporarily), replaced every part on the PC, wasn't until I bought and installed an SSD from a different company did the problem go away. Will update if seller responds.

Fast and good for its price
