Integral Advantage PRO-1 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Lightning-Fast Gen4x4 R-7200MB/s W-6000MB/s Solid State Drive Built-in Heatsink Compatible With PS5

I need a decent but not overly expensive NVME for my new build, to use as a boot drive and programs and there’s a plethora out there to search through, varying speeds and budgets.What surprised me and then ultimately persuaded me was the description of using TLC memory.As many many at this price bracket use QLC flash memory, I had to go on Integrals website and download the datasheet to confirm, it does indeed use TLC memory.There is a somewhat hit and that’s on write speed, it could be up to half when you compare other brands/model at this price BUT the durability is nearly quadruple, what TLC is known for me. QLC may give you the write speeds but ultimately it will wear down faster, as its mostly a cheaper quality of flash memory.For me, I’m not a gamer but a photographer and so far its plenty fast, my PC boots in 8 seconds and ready to go! Programs open within a blink of an eye and I would only be able to compare any difference If I was sponsored Tag Heuer timing; from what I came from (120GB SSD), this is fast enough. If you get the 1TB version write speeds are much faster, so nearly joins the QLC club but still being TLC it has the durability plus has a three year warranty.Personally, I think this NVME is a diamond in the rough and not all will realise the value and quality rather ponder over brands like Crucial/Samsung/Kingston only. I’ve known, used and trusted Integral brand for several years, having their SD cards, SSD drives and their other market of high quality LED bulbs, especially their high cri versions (all still working)

The product arrived very fast but I’m disappointed because I didn’t notice that is not coming with a screw and now I can’t use it, I need to buy a tiny screw to use it. Would be good if they would provide that tiny screw.

it's cheaper than most other 2Tb drives but it's fast, and a company has good reputation. I have it installed on 2 of my laptops. No point to buy anything faster if you are not a competitive gamer or edit large amounts of 4K video.

Product is really good.

Installing it into PS5 was super easy. Transferred over my PS4 games in a flash. Good product, hopefully, it lasts a long time!

Excellent fast cheap gen 4 drive , much better than some of the more expensive ones

Fitted straight into an Acer Swift SF14-42 and there's a noticeable speed increase.There is no software included to clone the drive like Samsung though. I used AOMEI to do it. I'd changed from 1tb to 2tb so I needed to then increase the partition using Windows Computer Management -> Storage -> Disc Management.

This is for those who have old Gigabyte motherboards and/or use Linux.There was no mention of NVME or M.2 on my Gigabyte manual, so I was very sceptical.I had two Pcie X4 + X8 ports free on the MB, so I decided to take the risk, as the speeds seem mind-blowing.I bought a PCIe adapter card (with a heat sink - just in case).And lo and behold - the Bios recognised it, Linux recognised it and the speeds are mindblowing.Ok, I am not getting the advertised 3.3GB/s, but I do get 1.6GB/s - which is 6 times faster than the SSD SATA disk I currently use. I guess not having a dedicated slot is the reason, but at this stage, I really don't mind.When partitioning in Linux, I noticed that it had the boot flag available, so I believe that I can use it as a boot disk in the future. But I haven't tried this myself as yet.I hope this helps the users intended.
