Mushkin MKNSSDTS1TB-D8 Tempest 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive

I didn't know I needed this kind of speed boost.
Super easy to install, OS set up with in a few minutes rather than the 30-50 Minutes needed for usual OS installation.

My mother's laptop has been using an HHD for years, and that poor thing is in dire need of an upgrade. And the best way to start is by replacing that old HHD with a modern SSD. Second step, install Linux for pure efficiency.

its early days yet but so far so good. not updating windows yet cause i dont know if this is one of the drives effected by the windows update that kills ssds.

It's a terabyte of storage for a reasonable amount of money. In a budget workstation like this one there is no benefit to spending more, and all previous Mushkin drives I've bought recently are still working well.

Good, reliable and well-priced. Happy with my purchase

I have been buying most of my gear at Wootware these days. customer is good and friendly staff. The Nvme is a good step up from the SSD i had. So I am looking forward to getting another 1 very soon.

Always expect these to be bigger (insert Micheal Scott reference).
Tiny package with a massive payload.
Speeds like the Storm Dragon of the Jura Forrest.
Makes apps and operating systems boot faster than the speed of your dog hopped up on sugar

Not knowing much about the brand, took a chance as the price was very reasonable and I must admit, I was very surprised.

I am using the product as a game drive and I am yet to find any fault or reason to swap it out or change to another.

Great performance, awesome price and does exactly what it's meant to. I'll definitely consider using the brand again.

This is now my main boot drive, and so far seems speedy, I have been using normal SATA's since then so not as much of an improvement as coming from HDD some of you would notice, no faults with detecting and installing Windows 11 it .

Picked this up on special, almost unbeatable for the price per gig! Using this as a secondary games drive and it works great. Reads and writes are way faster than my SATA SSD but the difference isn't really noticeable on the Windows 10 desktop or in-game. If you're looking for an SSD, a SATA drive would work just fine in most cases but if you can get this drive for less than a competing SATA drive (like I did when it was on special) then it's a no-brainer.

Reads > 3000mb/s and writes > 2000mb/s and it seems like it does have a DRAM cache as sustained writes are no issue at all since speeds remain at really high all the way through.

Just a note: this does not include standoffs or a mounting screw so just make sure your MB has one to use before you buy.

So far no problems what so ever, thanks to WootWare I paid for something and it gets done. Which is not what I can say for most businesses today. Good product

I ordered the nvme ssd Tuesday evening and got it Wednesday morning, that is what I call god speed. Wootware and its delivery team is really good and fast, I always order from Wootware. The ssd read and writes on crystal disk mark is 3316.87MB/s and 2568.82MB/s, but wait there's more, the random reads and writes are 209.33MB/s and 154.63MB/s. I have a crucial mx500 512GB sata ssd and this nvme is x6 faster than the crucial ssd drive. Crucial sata ssd read and writes are 552.07MB/s and 530.66MB/s. If that is not an upgrade I don't know what is. Thank you very much Wootware for the great quality products and have a fantastic day.

As someone new to PCIe 4.0 technology, I was initially unsure about the differences it would make compared to PCIe 3.0. However, in my specific use case focused on gaming, streaming, and occasional data crunching, the Mushkin MKNSSDTS1TB-D8 Tempest 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive has proven to be an excellent choice.

While I couldn't discern a significant disparity between PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 in my day-to-day activities, this drive has fulfilled its purpose exceptionally well. I primarily utilize it to store my gaming library, and it effortlessly handles the task. The drive's performance has been seamless, allowing for quick load times and smooth gameplay experiences.

I have encountered no complaints or issues with this SSD. Its reliability has been top-notch, ensuring that my gaming sessions and data crunching activities proceed without any hitches. The additional storage capacity it provides has been a welcome bonus, allowing me to expand my library and keep everything in one place.

In conclusion, while I may not have witnessed a dramatic disparity between PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 in my specific use case, the Mushkin MKNSSDTS1TB-D8 Tempest 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive has proven itself to be a dependable choice for storing my gaming library. Its performance, reliability, and additional storage capacity have made it a valuable addition to my setup, ensuring an enjoyable gaming and streaming experience.

Use this as my GameDrive. Superfast for my needs. Had no isues at all. Install was a breeze, partitioning took literally 2 clicks..

I did find it does run bit hot thou.. 56degrees was max thou. It's rated till 70...plan on buying another.

It does what it is supposed to, is fast, and reliable so far. It also didn't cost an arm and a leg, costing the same as a regular 1T SATA SSD of similar brand. Being so small and fitting directly onto the motherboard (if it allows) also creates extra space in your computer case for other components and ventilation, with no need for extra cables.

Bought this as an extra drive to store my games and videos and so far its doing a good job. Games are still loading fast and everything is smooth. Just make sure your motherboard has the screw to screw it in as it doesn't come with one and on the Asus motherboards you might need a small stand off

I bought this M.2 to finally upgrade my old mechanical drive for my gaming library, and games like Forza 5 loads significantly faster. As this is my second Mushkin M.2 I bought from Wootware, I am now running off of M.2 storage only. These Mushkin drives are great value. Can't believe I waited this long to upgrade.

With a rating like this I can mostly only rate the service, which was excellent. Going by what was promised and the end result, I got the delivery one day early packaged really well. As for the product, it really needs to be in use for more than a year to really rate it but it works.. so far. What more can be said.

I have installed it problem free and the read and write speeds was the same as recommended after running some test , Really happy with the brand as this is my second mushkin M.2
