Mushkin NVMe SSD
The product arrived earlier than expected and does what it is supposed to do. This SSD outperforms the 2,5" variant I replaced my a big margin. Very happy with the Wootware service as always.

Good, but... Odd...
Honestly, the device was easy to install and seems to work as intended, but... After installing it my PC has been giving me various troubles. Things like the RAM suddenly being limited to 4GB even though i didn't touch my RAM during the installation at all. I also didn't move my OS or change anything related to it (just using the new drive for storage purposes) so this was quite odd indeed. Another odd occurrence that started happening after I installed the new drive is that my restart and shut-down times now take forever once again for no apparent or obvious reason. It's likely that these issues are moreso caused by my own inabilities than the product itself, but all I did was slide the SSD into place and screw it down...

Neat.
Wasn't expecting it to only have 465GB of usable space (I know drives usually have less free space than advertised, but 35GB is quite a chunk!) Other than that, it was quick and easy to install. Great service from the wootware sales team as per usual as well :)

Reliable SSD, even after 2.5 years
Bought this SSD back in December of 2019 and it's been giving absolutely zero issues, even now heading into April 2022. Solid quality for an extremely decent price. A definite recommend!

Brilliant & Affordable
This drive sped up my 6 year old desktop in the stratosphere. Boots and everything running in less than 10 seconds. Me typing the password is the slowest part of the process. Cannot ask for more to be honest. And it is the best value for money out there for this part. Delivery was also done within 1 day. Unbelievably more efficient than their competitors. Bought 2 of them in fact for my motherboard can support two. So one for gaming installations and one for system software installations. Keep up the good work Wootware.

SUPER FAST SSD!!
This SSD is really fast. Since its 500GB I Installed Warzone, Rocket League, CS:GO and a few other applications, there is currently 320GB left, which is alot since I don't do stuff like YouTube video editing or Adobe Premiere. When I open up Warzone or any other app, it open's within 15 seconds. If you're on a budget and looking for a SSD that has alot of storage space and is fast AND affordable look no further then this is for you. Wootware you guys are now my go-to place for buying computer hardware!! WOOT WOOT

Look no further
Purchased two Helix-L SSD's and replaced the old 5400RPM drives in to two laptops of different manufacture/specs. Even thou one of the laptops didn't allow for more than 500Mb/s sequential write speed (apparently to due to hardware/bios/design limitations of that particular laptop), the drive yielded over 1,500Mb/s (read speed) on both. HUGE (perceptual) difference in using both laptops!! Very impressed With the Helix-L and won;t hesitate to purchase again as long as the price is good as it currently is :-)

Speedy Boi SSD!
Using this as a boot and main drive at the moment, and boy does my pc boot fast! Read and write speeds are really good. Even though it's on the budget side, it performs really well!

Pretty solid
went from a sata 240gb ssd to this. Might be placebo affect but I feel i could still notice the increase in reduced load times, so very happy! For example, in ARK survival evolved the caves/locations need to be loaded in when approached, which usually causes stutters and lag until the textures/map loads and pops in...not on this. zero lag, smooth transition.
