Super Fast Boot time!
Even though this SSD doesn't have a DRAM cache, its still faster than your average mechanical hard drive. Since it's a NVMe PCIe SSD it's even faster than most other m.2 SSD's. Pro's: - Calculated that the boot time into Windows 10 is from 6 to 10 seconds - Affordable - PCIe = Better performance - NVMe = Also Better performance Cons: From my side it's a great ssd, I really can't complain Wootware from my side you get a 10/10, I will continue to recommend you to friends and family, Woot Woot!!

Mushkin Helix-L 250gb
Drive performs at specified speeds. Solid entry level M2. Only concern is that the drive runs at 78 degrees Celsius (10 degrees more than CPU and graphics card) under load and 8 degrees above specified operating temperature range.

Odd Little Fellow
Never heard of or used Mushkin before, and they seem to be more of an "office" brand. That being said, despite this drive not having a DRAM chip, it is still much faster than a SATA SSD, and unless you're doing incredibly storage taxing tasks (millions of read-writes per hour), this drive will serve well as a boot drive and even storage for games where loading times are important, like CS:GO.

PCIe NVMe SSD
Great service and great product. Had to ship it all the way from Cape Town to Pretoria, but at a better (lower, including shipping) price than other local suppliers. Thanks Wootware, I'll most likely use you again in future.

No complaints
If you've never had an SSD before, then this is absolutely unbelievably fast. After successfully migrating my OS I did have to update my BIOS and then it worked perfectly. Beware that some motherboards do reserve SATA slots for the M.2 so you may have to disconnect SATA 1 - bit of a strange thing. Don't worry about people saying that NVMe shouldn't be used for an OS, they're being pedantic.
