sorted byThere is only one situation where this noticeably outperforms SATA drives, that's sequential fire reads/writes (i.e. transferring large files).
For everything else, you'll likely not notice a difference.
Then again, a SATA SSD with DRAM (like the Samsung 870 EVO Hatsune mentioned below, which can be had for less money) will outperform this when it comes to OS/app/game loading times.

These are cheap because they are QLC NAND and DRAM-less, not the best combination.
But they are cheap for what they are, so if cheap storage is all you need and you want to get the files on the drive quickly, these are fine.
I'd still go with the 870 EVO
Just don't go using this Crucial for long term large file writes, like video editing. (edited)
