Review: My ayn loki max only came with 512gb so I really wanted at least 1tb. I settled on this 1tb m.2 which is less than half the price of the cheapest 2tb 2242 ssds and a good 30% cheaper than similar 1tb 2242 ssds. I’ve been using it in my console for a week and so far no issues. As a boon it’s actually faster than the stock drive in the loki max and should consume less power if the ratings on the labels are to be believed. First pic is of the drive inside my loki max showing the upgrade was a success and the second pic is the inside of the console showing the location of the 2242 ssd (the 2280 is just for scale and I was messing around to see if ayn could’ve fit a full sized m.2 inside if they tried lol). When I was cloning the ssd using an external m.2 enclosure transfer speeds hovered around 400-500MB/s which is decent and the ssd only got marginally warm. The main downside I can forsee looking at the specs is the TBW rating is only 400tbw (meaning it’s only warrantied up to 400 terabytes written within the warranty period). 1TB ssds normally have a TBW closer to 600 or above so this drive is not as durable but should be fine as I really only intend to use it to store games long term.

Review: This NVMe will fit yje HP Elitebook 840.However although it is recognized within Windows, Windows won’t boot from it.So I had to install the Windows on an 2,5″ SATA SSD.You could use it as an internal drive.Because the Elitebook 840 is not supported anymore, I don’t think HP will ever fix this.
