- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024I bought this chip used, along with a Sintech M.2 Nvme adapter, to upgrade my 11” MacBook Air (2015)
I’m happy to report that it installed no problem, formatted properly and I was able to restore my files from a backup. Computer runs smoothly and a little bit faster and no more “out of disk space” warnings. This would have been a good deal at full price and I would definitely buy this again if needed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019I have this as my Windows 10 boot drive with an ASRock B450M Pro4 motherboard, Ryzen 5 3400G processor, and 2x8GB Team T-FORCE 3200 DDR4 memory. Everything is running stock, no overclocking.
I set the "Ultra M.2" SSD as my primary boot device in BIOS, rebooted to a USB thumb drive with the Windows 10 install files, and installed Win 10 to this drive without a hitch. It's working fine as a fast boot drive.
If you are used to standard HDD boot times, this SSD will be lightning fast. After BIOS loads, it takes about 8 seconds to the Windows 10 login prompt. If you are coming from a SATA SSD as your boot device (like my old system), this is still faster, but not a night-and-day difference. Besides the speed, I like this because it doesn't take a precious SATA drive slot in my mini ATX tower case.
If this last part sounds like gobbledygook to you, don't worry, you can skip it. This drive has a rating of 350TBW, which isn't stellar for something like video editing, but certainly good enough for an OS drive. Windows 10 understands SSD's pretty well, and SSD's have come a long way from the "careful you don't write to them too much because you could kill your drive" early days. These days, something else on your system is more likely to die before your SSD does, even if you have something like your swap file on the SSD. I have 16GB of RAM in this system so don't expect to be writing much to my swap to begin with, so I just let Windows configure everything the way it wanted to.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021Decided to pick this out for my first NVMe seeing it being recommended as just one level above budget NVMe SSDs for my new PC build and to completely move away from disk drives. There were alternatives at this price/performance range such as Intel 670p and Sabrent Rocket Q, but I don't know enough about storage technology to tell whether they are better or worse in comparison.
Installation into the motherboard was smooth and had Windows 10 installed quickly without any issues. Haven't tested it on any games since it'd just been recently built. A quick check with Crystal Disk Info and Crystal Disk Mark shows no problems and read write speeds matching advertised speeds. Compared to my previous OS SSD (Crucial MX200) at this point in time, random read/write performance increased decently while sequential read/write increase by 4x!
Some of the reviews regarding lifespan are concerning, but for now I'm happy and satisfied with what I got.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020I bought this to replace the main drive in my MacBook Air. It is not a perfect replacement for a native Apple drive but it works very well. Both capacity and speed improved but there are tradeoffs. If you wish to use this in an older MacBook system you should do your research and understand how to best make this product work for you. I'm very happy with this purchase and it exceeds my expectations. Should mention that the price was outstanding.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021This Kingston 1TB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme Internal SSD is everything that you'd expect from an internal SSD. After I built my first Gaming PC using this piece, I have seen noticeable speed increases when playing some games, but its greater speed increase seems more visible in video editing software and regular software use (Windows, Office, etc...)
I can definitely attest to this SSD's durability. Should you view the screenshot, I do not have the screw to affix the SSD to the motherboard. Yes, it's just sticking up. I even tried electrical tape to hold it down with no success. (I circled in red where the screw should be.) Of course-I don't recommend anyone doing that, but if it still works for a knucklehead like me since last Christmas, then I have faith in the longevity of this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente calidad, precio increíble.
Soy muy nuevo en esto del almacenamiento pero por mi experiencia al cambiar de un HHD (Disco duro) a esta SSD puedo decir que no estoy nada arrepentido, la instalación fue sencilla, pero tuve que quitar un tornillo a mi laptop, sugeriría conseguir el tornillo con anticipación, y uno que embone bien porque el que yo conseguí era muy delgado, pero mis ansias fueron mayores así que usé uno de la base de la laptop que quedó muy bien. En cuanto a la mano de obra, fue sencillo ya que la SSD viene con una licencia de Acronis para clonar el disco original. Excelente producto, lo recomiendo al 100.
Por si las dudas, mi laptop es una Lenovo Ideapad 3, es compatible con este tipo de SSD, recomiendo que busquen su compatibilidad de las suyas en las páginas de los fabricantes o por internet antes de comprar. PD: Las M2 son siempre mejores
