UPDATE after 13 months of continuous use, absolutely no issues whatsoever in my Windows 10 pc. I've installed the drive into a new laptop as well recently and it's perfect as well. I'm amazed at its reliability and speed compared to the Samsung competition.
Original Review:
I was nervous as I never have heard of this brand before. I also live in another country so an RMA for a DOA drive would be a huge hassle. But the price to capacity ratio was too good to pass up. After reading many positive reviews of it, I decided to pull the trigger. It arrived today and I have already installed it with no issues.
I used Macrium Reflect to clone my Samsung 960 EVO 512 NVMe to the 1tb version of this Addlink drive and all went very smoothly. My system rebooted and saw the new drive, automatically booted from it as the C drive (after I removed the old one of course). So there are no issues at all installing this as a boot drive for Windows10. Crystal Disk Mark shows speed is just a tad faster than my 960 EVO on sequential reads, which is most important for me as I'm moving huge files in the 50-100gb range all day long.
I must say that it is a relief to see this drive perform as advertised - and installed, cloned, and booted with zero issues. I am now enjoying the extra space available for doing my work and I only wish that my motherboard supported more than two NVMe slots because I'd like to put more of these in my system.
If you're on the fence about this drive, I say go ahead and give it a try. My experience was positive and I hope this causes the prices of other brands to drop in response.
