TEAMGROUP MS30 256GB with SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC M.2 2280 SATA III 6Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive SSD (Read/Write Speed up to 500/400 MB/s) Compatible with Laptop & PC Desktop TM8PS7256G0C101

This drive works fine with Windows XP. Just make sure you align the partitions after formatting and fresh installing. TRIM is handled by the drive firmware, so you don't need to worry about it. Also, when installing Windows XP, make sure AHCI mode is enabled in the BIOS first and that you load the SATA controller driver for your motherboard so it can see the SSD.

I bought this to repair an off-brand laptop for a neighbor. The original SSD had failed, and the laptop in question required a SATA based M.2 SSD. This dropped right in and allowed a clean installation of Windows 11 from Microsoft's official ISO.

Edit: First off, i've looked through many of the negative reviews, it looks like many of the DOA/broken drive reviews are due to using a SATA drive in a PCIe slot, which i did the reverse of initially on my tablet below, trying to use one of my spare NVMe drives, at least 1 of them legitimately looked like a dead driver. But unlike many newer devices, some older devices, like my tablet, can accept M key and B key, but only supports SATA drives.Was about to recycle an old tablet because its SSD was failing, when i found it was replacable, so i decided to throw this 2TB SSD into it for use as a portable, micro file server(with internal battery backup that lasts for several hours-screen off-). I cant really speak to how fast it in a normal machine, because the drive is being held back by my tablet, which only has a core M5-6y54. On both the old factory 256GB, and new 2TB drive it was limited to peaks of about 450MB/s even on an external USB-C drive that on other machines could top out at 800MB/s. but because this is a 5w intel processor, it can only burst to 400MB/s (500MB/s if the test was short) for a few seconds while running at 2.4Ghz, often slowing to under 1.0Ghz resulting in sub 200MB/s reads on everything from intenal SSDs, to external USB-C enclosures with an optane drive, or SDXC USHiii. This may be a limitation of the processor, this may be a limitation of the SATA controller, or both, but i did run a 64GB test to see if this slow machine could catch up to the slow QLC by filling the TLC cache.Of note, while you should expect this drive to slow down to somewhere between 60 and 180MB/s if writing alot of data to it sequentially, say copying photos/videos from an SD card. Keep in mind that this is only a limitation of the QLC flash technology when writing. Reading that data back should be really fast once the TLC cache has been flushed/not transitioning to QLC, probably close to the limit of the sata interface of around 550MB/s, though my tablet is incapable of this(maxed out all 4 threads at 500MB/s)For this review, i decided to trick the CPU into turboing for longer, and while there seems to be a limit as to how long it can stay at 2.5Ghz, as long as i cool this fanless device with something, it seems to run at 1.9Ghz indefinatelycrystal disk mark results are attached for a 64GB test. I couldnt observe the tablet while the test was running because of my cooling solution, but my guess is that either the test requires more CPU power in writes, this drive's native writes arent as fast as its reads, or the tablet was able to catch up to the TLC cache towards the end of the test. Or a combination of the three factors

Working was expect but not as fast as some SSDs. Will update review as the SSD ages, since some SSDs age poorly over time.

I bought this for my nephew, but he hasn't complained so I'm assuming it works good.

I have purchased these SATA3 and so far they have all failed sooner or later. i sent back already two and now here's another one two years later. i do not recommend this brand. i purchased i think 6 in total, not at one time. now i have to go to their website and get a replacement.,

Have been happy with every Team product I've ever bought. Of the lower-priced line, Team has had very consistent quality including this product. Would recommend it after having problems with other brands.
