ORICO NVMe SSD 1TB M.2 with Heatsink, Up to 3100MB/s PCIe Gen3x4 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, SLC Cache 3D NAND, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops -J10

These were very cheap when I bought them (Autumn 2025). I use them as OSD devices in my Ceph cluster - nothing heavy duty - a bunch of containers running home automation and home lab stuff. The are wedged into Dell Optiplex USFF micro PCs so cooling is less than optimal. They perform well, they very rarely head north of 50 degrees, and have been in constant use - albeit very light write activity - for 6 months, with no issues.

So far so good... Installed as a replacement/upgrade SSD and all woring fine. Purchase back in Novemeber but only now got around to installing. Noted this cost me under £50 and now would cost twice as much so good value for the purchase at the time

bought as a cache drive for my pc and it just works. item arrived well packaged and in good condition. installation was simple and once formatted it just works. an inexpensive 1TB drive that gives solid IO speeds without the huge price of the cutting edge. happy with my purchase would buy again.

Upgraded an older system to slightly faster storage. Can’t speak for reliability as only had the drive 2 days. 512GB advertised model is ~475gb after formatting for NTFS in Windows, but verified in h2testw to be a true capacity. The in-box heat spreader, while ultra slim and compact is just two stamped bits of metal, would recommend getting something a bit beefier, as I recorded controller temps of up to 80c during initial verification in the aforementioned initial capacity test. I put a Thermalright HR-10 Pro on it (super cheap at the time) and the temp doesn’t go above 40c now, even under heavy load, although this may be overkill for your form factor or use case. Functionality wise, boot speed was less than 10 seconds to login screen, roughly 30 seconds to desktop. Not blazing fast by any stretch of the imagination, although my results here are from a board running at Gen 3 speeds (z97 chipset). The CrystalDiskMark tests I’ve uploaded are from after fitting a beefier cooler. Preset was NVMe optimised, all defaults real-world and peak performance tests. At 30 quid, I’m happy with it and would say it’s value for money as long as it stands up in the reliability factor!

Bad drives that cannot handle to many reads / writes, today the controller reported 0 read and 0 writes even though the device has been used many times, and since then the storage shows only empty... Ever the memory is bad, or this a smaller memory drive with the controller lieing to the computer about its size. BAD drives! considering the current shortages, avoid this if t all possible! Did not even last a few months!

I managed to purchase this 256gb nvme drive when it was priced just over £15, so excellent pricing. It was simple to install and it has performed well and to its specification, so no complaints, really good value.

Does just what it says on the tin ... fast, easy to install. Heat sink is a little fiddly to put on, but that's nit picking. Great product.

Cheap and quick however I have only been using this in an external enclosure so I cannot comment on the longevity of the drive as if it was inside a system.

Fraud!!! Arrived box only and the heat sink the device ssd is missing!!!

Works great!

The item is good, came with heat pad and heat sink

Montato come drive secondario su un Lenovo Thinkpad P51 per metterci sopra Linux Mint. Io lo trovo veloce quanto basta, ora è li da più di un anno usandolo quotidianamente più di dieci ore e non ha dato problemi. Lavora tranquillo alle velocità promesse. Ne prenderò altri, sperando di poterli montare tranquillamente sui miei Apple Mac per quanto riguarda la compatibilità, ma non credo che ci saranno problemi.

Not the fastest but generally reliable.
