at a glance
(+) Light Speed
The fastest M.2-based drive we’ve tested; certainly the fastest 256GB consumer drive around; bootable with the right mobo.
(-) Stalled
Still expensive for a 256GB drive (though it’s only $40 more than its predecessor); tricky to find without buying it pre-installed; not an NVMe drive.
