Over heating

Ok I installed it in my gaming computer with plenty of air flow across it. Installed a fresh copy of windows 10. Did fine. Was downloading some games to it and noticed that it was as quick as it needed to be and all of a sudden, it would throttle. I figured it was something that I did. Restored windows ten and started again. Same thing happen. I installed hwmonitor and did a sequential test and found that when the drive reached 129 degrees Fahrenheit it would throttle to about 40-50 MBps. My mechanical hard drive is faster than that. I swapped it out for a Samsung and have not had any issues since. I needed up putting it in my laptop and installed Ubuntu on it because it is less hdd hungry to say and it idles around 120 degrees. It’s sad because it only just a few months old and the seller was giving me the run around. I brought the product from them yet I had to reach out to the manufacturer to get it warranted. That is some BS if you ask me. If I get something at wal mart you don’t see me going to the manufacture then, you just take it right back to Walmart and get it warranted. Would not recommend it because you can get better drive for just a few dollars more.Read full review
