envy me drives I've always been out of reach even for jack reacher though a pieces end up to Z to 80 PCIe gen3 4-speed 480 gigabyte SSD may change just that coming in at 215 USD it may just be the change makers that you've been looking for welcome back to text it is brand coming to you guys today with my first review of an nvme drive albeit an MDOT - this is a paisans first nvme drive as well coming in with two separate flavors the 480 gigabyte model and also the 240 gigabyte model under the same banner of the z28 II though getting straight into the meat potatoes sausages and grilled cheese we can see that this is a small little naked drive so you do have to handle them with a little more care than you would with a 2.5 inch encased SSD though the positive is that it makes my job easier as I don't have to pull the thing apart to get a glimpse of what's inside and looking at the flash banks they're using two sheep of 120 gigabyte banks with this model using four for a total of 480 gigabytes attached to a nano 256 megabytes rebirth bank which runs through a fire and controller interesting choice though I'm sure what will please most people is that they're using mlc type memory instead of the TLC type based stuff that's coming out in a lot of SSDs today and this particular model is rated at 2 million hours meantime before failure and then there's the speeds let's take a quick look in a s SSD benchmark the Z 280 scored in another league compared to the crucial bx 100 that i have here on the test bench though the 4k random reading rights were dare i say still in the same league i ops were heavily in favor of the z 280 however the one to another benchmark are using that is HD tune Pro where I do a tangiwai file transfer sometimes even larger depending on the drive and if it shows some mishaps though in this case there was no mishaps to report both drives performed really well they're rated read and write speeds and what this means in particular for the z28 II is that the fighting controller that they've used on this model has consistent read and write Al Gore so as you can see with the raw numbers there this thing crushed any standard solder SSD that I have around here though taking a look at the real-world benchmarks to see how much faster your PC will boot and also how much faster a game like Battlefield 1 will boot showed it to be not too much of a difference though where you'll find some solid improvement over SSDs is if you are dropping and scrubbing massive amounts of files in Premiere Pro for example or doing other work that involves heavy usage of your storage device so there it is Z 2 ADL is actually going to do this review after I did the Panther memory in another review though but when I saw the performance of this thing and more importantly the price and the features I rushed it to the front of the queue it quite simply is amazing for an MDOT to nvme to cost this little and perform this well me personally I always used to turn away from MDOT twos and in PCIe nvme drives mainly because of the price they usually commanded a big premium over the standard 2.5 inch SSDs though with the z2 84 may pay so you really are getting it all great performance good memory more probably a damn competitive price and we're looking at this model coming in significantly cheaper than the competitors m2 nvme SSDs out there it certainly makes this a contender to be reckoned with anyway great job from a pesar on this SSD and I'm showing up just myself but a lot of other people are gonna have their eyes keenly on a peso to see what else they bring out in the near future is this product is just gonna be an absolute hit and that's about it guys this is Brian signing out from tech city and I'll catch you guys in another check video very soon also don't forget to plug that like button and I'll see you in the next one peace out for now bye also before I get out I had no problems whatsoever on both my ex 99 Tai Chi and my ex 99 MSI board however I did have a problem when it came to cloning the actual drive from my main OS SSD drive to the nvme drive the true akron as' image software didn't work at all so if you want to clone your OS to this nvme drive you might have to use some other software out there this people is the fact that they're using mlc type memory in this drive
