The drive’s high sequential read and write speeds enable quick access to large files, smooth 4K video editing, and faster game loading times. The use of advanced 176-layer 3D NAND technology enhances endurance and data retention, while the 1.5 million-hour MTBF rating ensures consistent performance over extended periods. This combination makes it a solid choice for users who demand both speed and reliability.

Ideal uses and environments

This SSD is well suited to users who require fast storage for gaming, content creation, and professional applications involving large datasets. It fits well in desktop builds and laptops that support M.2 PCIe drives, offering a meaningful upgrade path for systems limited to PCIe Gen3. Whether you are building a new PC or upgrading an existing one, this drive balances capacity, speed, and durability effectively.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
