Faster load times, huge storage, and no real reason to pay more.
I don’t normally get excited about SSDs, but this one actually makes sense.
It uses Host Memory Buffer, which just taps into your system’s RAM.
Unless youre clinging to 8GB in 2025, it won’t make a dent.
This one runs cool enough that I didn’t even bother adding a heatsink.
You could, but it’s not necessary.
That alone makes it a nice fit for compact builds or just keeping airflow clean in general.
For aPC gaming SSD, this has done everything I needed it to.
I think if youre building new or just tired of slow load screens, this is a smart pickup.
Ive used Crucial drives in past builds and they’ve been surprisingly reliable, even when pushed hard.
I dont think you’ll notice.
It handles fast bootups, quick file transfers, and load times without complaint.
But the real appeal is plug-and-play convenience.
If you want high speed and minimal fuss, especially for consoles, this one makes the case.
Id personally grab this over the Pro if youre after raw performance without needing to play spec bing
