Big shout out to XOC for sending these for Paul to test and share on his channel. It's nice to see an actual American company. At the prices Amazon is selling these for... I will be buying these next time I need one. Thanks for sharing Paul. Take care and be safe.
I love these bargain SSDs, especially NVMEs. I have been running an Inland Premium NVMe as my main boot drive for almost 4 years and haven't had an issue yet. That is a sub-brand from Micro Center. Great vid as always, my friend. I'll see you in your next vid! 👍
I love MicroCenter in store brand stuff. Their power supplies and SSDs are actually great products. Thank you for the kind words as always. I saw you had a new video drop and I need to get over to your channel and check it out.
My 92 year old Dad was shocked when my sisters hung a sign that read "AARP Welcomes Pete" at the family birthdays party. When he joined the minimum age was 60. Now you just have to be 50. I am 55. I don't always trust the offers though since sometimes it's not the advertised company sending the email. Phish taste worse than fish.
I used a similar adapter before my FX motherboard died since the platform did not otherwise support M.2 and it did run around the same speeds you have in this video. When I paid pandemic pricing I kept the adapter and it is in the drawer to my left. My newer (Zen 3) system of course has 2 onboard. Of course I was and still am using Samsung drives. It will be nice when XOC comes out with 2 terabyte drives. My current main drive is a 2 TB Team Group and my 256MB Samsung is an upgrade to my lappy spinning rust drive now.
When I first saw the listing on Amazon, it was just for the 1TB, now there are listings for 512 and 1TB in Gen 3 and Gen 4 so I am sure the rest of the stack will be showing up soon. I'm looking forward to trying the Gen 4 drives as well.
Off topic but I replaced my fried Hp prebuilt with a Dell Vostro laptop with the I5 1335 processor. Shocked at how much faster it is than the 4600g. No longer an AMD snob. Had to order a 20 dollar usb hub to get 4k but needed one anyway only one type a usb 3 port.
When I first got a USB hub, it was just a straight bank of several USB type A's. Now that I have bought one or two for laptops, its been a complete game changer. They charge, allow for extra monitors, and ethernet, etc. Keeps all the clutter away from the PC. I'm glad the new laptop is working out well!
@@ThatPaulGuy Went ahead and ordered a 100 watt type c charger for the hub. Laptop was free because it was dead when I got it. I already had a 16g DDR 4 3200 mem to bring it to 24 gig I have about 43 dollars in it after ordering the hub and power supply for it.
@@ThatPaulGuy Worked out perfectly. The aluminum chassis model of what I have supports USB C power in and out plus 4k at 30Hz and 2 USB type A ports and a type C ports. I have a 100 watt power supply for the dock. Running 2 monitors plus laptop screen.

I checked my mailbox, just offers for AARP lol
@@RobertFixit this is the first time I've trusted an offer and I wasn't disappointed.
