  • PositiveSmall form factor
  • PositiveGood value
  • PositiveGood performance for everyday applications
  • NegativeSlows down drastically when writing large files

For the average user, the low price of this 10 Gbit/s SSD, which is suitable for everyday use, is the most important selling point. However, the slow write processes for large files prevent it from being used for video editing.
