I bought this to use as a secondary drive for some more space as the NVMe drive on my gaming laptop runs Windows and is only 258gb. So I can't tell you how well it boots or runs windows. I won't post any CrystalDiskMark scores because what we really want is real world usage and nobody really gets those scores. Easy to install other than a few broken fingernails getting the back of the laptop off. Cmos disk error on reboot because I disconnected the battery during install but Windows fixed on reboot. Used the disk manager to initialize and allocate to drive D. I'm posting some screenshots. C is my Windows Hynix NMMe drive. D is the Teamgroup AX 512gb SSD drive and E is my microSD card. Copying 160gb from my SD card to the Teamgroup drive took about 40 minutes. Not bad considering it was coming from a flash that doesn't read so fast. The Desktop (C) to Data were a windows 10 and 11 ISO files. The D to New folder is an example copying a file from D to D, in which it has to read and write at the same time. So there is some examples of real-world use. Speeds will vary depending on if you're copying from another drive, flash drive or within the drive as you can see. Fastest speed I saw was 450 mbps. Overall, I'm more than happy with it. Considering I was getting write times in the 20s and 30s on my SD card this is super-fast. Would I have gotten faster speeds if I had bought a WD, Crucial or Samsung? Maybe. But not enough to justify the extra money. As far as longevity is concerned, let's just say that I've never had a drive fail on me since I began using computers in the 90s. So take this for whatever it's worth. Good deal at $28.

I wanted to wait a while to give this review as prolonged use would be the best way to test it. With that said, it's been a few months now and so far it has been great! My read and write speeds are fast and about what you would expect from any typical SSD. I moved all my games from my HDD to this new SSD and have noticed significantly faster loading times, and no stutter or lag whatsoever. I also bought an external case to use this in and can plug into my laptop. It fit snuggly in the case and works well for what I need it for, which is mostly as quick load storage for my Steam games. It runs silently and operating temps are maybe only a couple of degrees higher than my room temp. For the price, this is absolutely worth it! The performance/storage to value makes it an easy choice.

There is no way for me to test the lifetime of this SSD without a statistically significant number of samples of the product, and more than 10 years' time. It worked when I received it, and it is still working today. I loaded OSX onto it, and it is running an old MacBook Pro as I type. No matter what the theorists say about SSD RAM cells not drawing current when they are not in use, if you check the stats, bigger SSDs draw more stand-by current. I do not theoretically know why. Perhaps it is the additional address decoders and catching registers which are not the same technology as the memory cells. Or maybe it's just more leakage over a greater surface area. It's not a linearly increasing load versus RAM size by any means. A couple of TB seems to draw about double the current of this one and, hence, consume twice the power, and produce twice the heat. I don't want my laptop power supply being bogged down like that, or the machine heating up like that. But you do you. If you don't have a bunch of peripherals hanging off and powered by the laptop's USB bus like I do, you probably won't burn out your laptop with 2 or 4TB. But I'm an engineer, and I like to err on having a larger margin of safety. 512GB is way more than I can type in a lifetime, and is a plenty big enough glob of internal mass storage for me. And I'm sure you can compare prices without my help.

Only had it 25 hours. So far so good on my dell optiplex 3050. Using it for storage...not boot. Using it on Linux Mint Cinnamon. It has a 3 yr warranty, so I wouldn't expect it to last more than 5 yrs with normal use. I'll update the review when it fails.

Fast, Reliable, and Budget-Friendly Upgrade I installed the TEAMGROUP AX2 2TB SATA SSD into an older desktop that had been running sluggishly on a mechanical hard drive, and the difference has been night and day. Windows boots in seconds, applications open instantly, and large file transfers now feel smooth and snappy. Even though this is a SATA drive and not NVMe, the 540 MB/s read speed is more than enough to breathe new life into older systems. What I like most is the balance of price and performance. For 2TB of solid-state storage, the AX2 is very cost-effective compared to bigger-name brands, yet it hasn’t compromised on reliability so far. Installation was straightforward—standard 2.5-inch size, easy to fit into a laptop or desktop with the right brackets or slots. A couple of things to keep in mind: this isn’t meant to compete with high-end NVMe drives in raw speed, so if you’re doing heavy 4K video editing or massive database work, you’ll want something faster. Also, while TEAMGROUP provides software tools for monitoring health and firmware updates, it’s a simpler package overall without a lot of extras. For everyday computing, gaming, and media storage, it’s been excellent. No hiccups, no overheating, and very quiet operation. Bottom line: The TEAMGROUP AX2 2TB SSD is a great upgrade for anyone wanting a large, dependable, and affordable SSD to replace an HDD or expand storage without breaking the bank.

So far it survived over a year in my camera system. I wanted a quiet solution to my NVR and this was in my budget at the time. Research said non SSDs last longer in NVR so I imagine this is overall a performance item. The speed to access recordings greatly increased and so far no issues yet. Was plug and play to the NVR but I end up letting the drive hang in tbe 3.5 inch compartment of the NVR that doesnt move

Got this for my girlfriends PC to replace the Pre-Built Kingfast SSD which chugged away for 10 minutes to even load the OS. The change in speeds is dramatic. This thing loads windows within a few seconds and has great performance overall.

I was cloning a 200+GB HDD drive onto it, and the sustained write speeds didn't drop below 100MB/s. Great value for the price. (I created a separate volume on the SSD for the benchmark testing hence why the size only shows 256GB in the picture)

ドキドキ購入した。今のところ使えてるが、宣言された速度まで出なかった。 ◾️目的 iMac 27インチ5KのHDDを入れ替えに使用した。 ◾️速度 計測した速度は読み取り、書き込みともに、400MB/Sぐらい。宣言された560と500まで届きません。 TEAMGROUP QX 4TB 3D NAND QLC 2.5インチ SATA III 内蔵ソリッドステートドライブ SSD (読み取り/書き込み速度最大560/500MB/s) 1000TBW ノートパソコン&PCデスクトップに対応 T253X7004T0C101

The read and write speeds are as advertised. Use this as a media storage and without issues. Pricing is reasonable.
