Review: Fast, single sided - works great in my Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld - Bought this along with a 2242 to 2280 adapter to upgrade my Legion Go from 1TB to 4TB as the SD card reader performance on the Go was extremely slow and inconsistent. Worked perfectly right out of the box, and the speeds are more than adequate to play AAA games off my Go. Another upside is that this SSD does not run hot, even though I have the original Go backplate and not an aftermarket one
Review: Best price and PERFECT for the ps5! - I bought this for the ps5 and the price, this might be the best purchase decision I have made in a while! 10/10 product!
