Ok, Initial Thoughts ... WOW ... And they continue ...
So a couple things, I bought this to upgrade my m.2 SSD (Samsung OEM) 512GB that was in my Razer 2017 14". As someone else noted, BUYER BEWARE because this is a 4k byte size allocation versus the standard 512 byte setup. That means you CANNOT DIRECTLY CLONE THE DRIVE UNLESS IT IS A 4K DRIVE AS WELL. I saw that post and should have read it more closely but of course, I 'knew' better ... yeah would have saved me like 48 hours of headaches. So does that mean you cannot move your stuff over? Nope it just means it takes a bit more work. I had to image my existing drive to an external drive (USB), create a bootable Windows PE disc with the imaging software, install the new drive, boot into Windows PE and then restore the image from the image file. If you do that, it will work flawlessly (though it will take QUITE awhile). Speed tests so far are phenomenal. Arbitrarily it is loading into Windows faster. DEFINITELY loads into Division 2 faster. Transferring of files seems snappier and encoding definitely is probably 2x faster. Overall VERY happy with my purchase, but like I said ... this takes a bit of work. Now we all will eventually have to upgrade to this style anyway so I guess I have future proofed myself at this point. Toodles everyone
