Strengths:
Was cheapest 2TB on the market at time of purchase. Not the case anymore
Weaknesses:
Over-heated on back of MB at gen3 speeds(z390i). Added a m.2 cooler dropped 7-10c from a operating temp of 75c pre-heatsink.
Haven't even filled to 90%, games kept crashing. stornvme errors every min. Took 36hr to transfer needed files before final death.
Additional Comments:
Now nvme prices are very nice. Plenty off more durable options out there. Unless its just a game library. Buy at own risk
I went with another make entirely.

Strengths:
Hard to beat at these sale prices if you're looking strictly for storage media. Not recommended as an O/S drive nor as your primary drive,
simply because it can get hot (a heat sink is not included), and it's not fast in comparison to the more expensive NVMe SSD's. On the other
hand, as an entry-level SSD, it will do the job. Speeds are not much faster than the previous gen PCIe-3 generation drives but it does meet
the minimum PCIe-4 specs, if you're looking for upward compatibility with the newer mobos. I swapped out my SATA SSD storage drives,
and replaced them with 2 of these Kingston NV2 drives, for a relatively clean cable-less build. It's a no-brainer if a budget is your constraint.
Weaknesses:
Haven't found one yet. As per longetivity, let's revisit that 2 years down the road.
Additional Comments:
Great value as a storage drive, especially considering the high capacity being offered (2 TB).
