Of course, I had to deal with the system in which such drives were installed, and I saw what they were capable of. There was a noticeable difference between a conventional solid-state ssd connected via a SATA connector and an M.2 form factor drive. It was this factor that served as the impetus for my further actions.

At the first inspection, you are convinced how seriously the manufacturer took the visual component. The entire area of the drive is equipped with a radiator, which not only decorates it, but also performs the function of heat dissipation. As the specifications state, the radiator is made of aluminum, which should lead to the solution of temperature issues. After all, as you know, such drives decently warm. But, as they say, “wait and see.” The overall dimensions of the drive are one of the standard, and have 22 mm width, 80 mm length and 3.7 mm thickness.

The drive in question has enviable speed characteristics. The read speed is 2100 mb / s, and the write speed is 1200 mb / s. Of course, in the market for such drives there are also faster ones, but such speeds are beyond praise for the average user.
