Wow! Those read/write times are really poor! Maybe next time, Gigabyte.

ITs still acceptable though. If the price is really cheap!!

Seems like these are really PCIe X2 cards. Some laptops have only X2 slots. If these are cheap enough then might be a good choice.

Overall, I think it’s best to leave flash storage to the people that developed the tech rather than have someone come along with something slapped together saying me too.

Gigabyte doesn't make PCIe M.2 SSDs. They are just rebrands with Gigabyte sticker. The only reason to go with it if it is dirty cheap, otherwise Samsung would be better option.

Samsung? if I didn't see Gigabyte on this card I would have thought it was Samsung

i guess the speed takes a hit to compensate for all the LED's that will end up on it
