I think the product was good. But it was too little too late, since nand SSD pricing had already begun to drop. If it had a higher capacity, or lower pricing, or was released sooner it would have been a hit.
the one i still have just an ssd boot for a dietpi (debian mini server), separated from its hdd which is just file storage. as a regular ssd, the modules are ‘ok’. a bit slow–and of course very small, but higher endurance. i should never have to worry about it running out of writes in that little mini-server.
About halfway through the lifecycle for Windows 10, HDD performance became pure garbage and I genuinely do not know how/why they did that. Something about how they were handling indexing or read operations at idle meant pinning the disk at 100% usage almost all the time and the only solve was an SSD. I hate that shit so much.
next they’ll say any ol’ hdd is fine, too.
(they are not)
if you ever have to use win11 on a laptop with 4 or 8gb ram and a 2.5in hdd, you’ll be inventing new swear words.
I mean, as long as you pair it with an optane cache drive it should be fine
optane was a horrible and ineffective ‘solution’ to windows and application bloat.

I still use one for an os drive in my nas.

I hope they have to rebase their os to win 7 due to ram prices
