No complaints, the temperature in reading mode is like in a room. I haven't seen temperatures above 45 degrees (during a stress test). Buying for the Lenovo Legion 5 laptop, I was worried about excessively high temperatures - that's why I chose this model. At the same time, for the same price, there's now the Samsung 980 Pro with PCIe 4.0 4x, which is twice as fast and its temperature is only about ten degrees higher (35-40 - reading; 45-50 - writing).

Perfect for installation in laptops, where the problem of heating is especially relevant. Well, do not accidentally throw out the code on Acronis Speed, low temperature, key on Acronis No MaTheron: use Kingston SKC2500M8/1000G less than month |
Wonderful ssd. I took a year ago in the socket for a promotion of 1500 for the 500GB version. For a year of work in a laptop as the main disk - 7tb of overwriting from a 300tb resource. I don’t know the maximum speeds, since in a PCIe 3.0 x2 laptop, and the speed is cut accordingly, but even the cut speed is sufficient for work and games 5 year warranty, theoretically excellent read/write speed, Acronis dongle for OS transfer from disk to disk No pizza included :( Vladislav Taranenko: use Kingston SKC2500M8/500G more than year |
