Overview
High-end Gen5 with DRAM and serious sustained write at 12400/11800 MB/s. Cooling is mandatory, not optional: without airflow it throttles hard. The 2TB is the capacity to buy if you are putting an E26 drive to work rather than just benchmarking one.

- Nadia K.Sep 21, 2025Serious sustained write
For my video scratch drive the sustained write with DRAM is the reason I bought it. With proper cooling it never flinches.
- Hank T.Jun 8, 2025Great speed, cooling headache
On my board the M.2 heatsink was not enough and it throttled. Added a small fan and it stabilized. Buy the heatsink version, not the bare one.
- Priya V.Feb 28, 2025Fast, thirsty, hot
Sequential numbers are enormous. Day to day it is not hugely different from a good Gen4, but for large file work it shines. Plan cooling.
- Sean M.Oct 12, 2024Blazing Gen5, cooling is mandatory
The E26 that started the heat debate. Bought the heatsink SKU and it is fine, but without airflow it throttles hard. 12GB/s reads are real.
