Testing was performed through a USB-to-NVMe adapter. The latest passing extended self-test result was independently confirmed from the raw controller log; the testing software reports a self-test-log truncation limitation through this connection. Native-slot performance was not benchmarked.
Sanitization & preparation
Previous data was erased on September 28, 2026, using the SSD controller’s NVMe Sanitize Block Erase function. Successful completion was independently verified through the controller status log. Sampled blank-data reads across the drive also passed before reformatting.
The drive was then initialized as GPT and quick-formatted NTFS. A read/write check passed. Formatted capacity is approximately 238GiB, normal for a drive marketed as 256GB.
No operating system is installed. This is an internal NVMe SSD and requires compatible hardware.
Used-drive disclosureThis is a used drive, not new or manufacturer-refurbished. The endurance figure is the drive’s estimate, not a guarantee of remaining lifespan. Test results reflect its condition at the time of testing and cannot guarantee future reliability.
