960 Evo Performance! HP Knocks it out of the park!
I never thought I’d be be buying or writing a review about a HP SSD, but it’s 2018 and here we are. I knew very little about the EX920 beforehand but I was in the market for a 1TB SSD and immediately went to the 960 EVO like everyone else in the market. However the 1TB 960 EVO was $450 at the time of this review. The HP Ex920 popped up for a paltry $370 for 1TB drive. I had to triple check all of the specs to make sure it was indeed a NVME drive or that there are no hidden issues that would come up. To my surprise, reviews for this drive are all very positive. Performance is on par with the 960 EVO and creeps up into 960 PRO category for certain performance metrics.The chips themselves are Micron/Crucial 64-layer 3D TLC NANDs and the memory are NANYA chips. Both of these are leaders in the SSD/memory game. The controller is Silicon Motion SM2262, the same controller found in many brands of SSDs including Intel. On paper, the HP EX920 does many things right, 3200 reads, 1800 writes. To my surprise, my tests confirmed the specifications.I honestly can’t find anything wrong with this drive. Packing was premium, the specs are good, and blazing speeds at $80 less than the leading player in the market. The SSD even has a tiny red LED on the chip to let you know it’s reading/writing like old hard drives used to do. This is a nice feature absent from many solid state drives. Helps let you know if your drive is working or not.The only thing I would say is they should have included a heat sink to dispel heat. The 960 series for example, had a copper sticker on the rear to dissipate heat. I honestly don’t know if this drive has an overheating problem but consecutive tests don’t show a major decrease in performance so far.Kudos HP for knocking it out of the park!***EDIT DEC 2018***My drive is still performing wonderfully. However I recently purchased another one from Best Buy on Ebay for my desktop and the temperature shows a constant 54 Degrees C on the SMART sensors. My original drive that I purchased here on Amazon reviewed here, shows the temperatures changing according to load as it shoud. Apparently all of the new EX920 SSDs from around September/October 2018 and on have been exhibiting this issue. It’s not a real temperature overheating problem, just stuck. Many online said it was due to a firmware issue. Thew new firmware is SVN139B and the old firmware SVN101 works fine. My SSD is on a desktop with a heat sink on top and fans creating airflow so I doubt it will ever overheat. However until this issue gets resolved by HP, you may run into this issue with newer versions of this drive as well.***EDIT JAN 2019***There is a new firmware update available now MultiPointe, HP’s third party partner version 2262 B16 Update that fixes the temperature issue. I can’t link on Amazon, but searching onlien for EX920 firmware update will get you to the right place. After updating, my temps for my 1TB drive (with a heatsink on in a desktop computer) were around 20 degrees which is pretty great. Good luck!

Absolute best value 1TB SSD on the market right now
Bought this a few months ago for $165 and again this week for $120.The Intel 660p 1Tb is $80-90 right now, but I was happy to pay more for the huge speed increase this drive offers.Pros: Comes with an M.2 SCREW!!!!!Very fast, no real drivers needed for Win10Best price to speed ratio of SSDs right now, MUCH more attractive than Samsung EVO.Cons: Not as fast as top-tier SSDs and will usually not even hit rated speedsVisually not super appealing unless your mobo has a heatsink (or you buy one)Firmware situation seems questionable: “upgrading” to Intel firmware did not help my speeds, your mileage may vary

Fast Fast Fast – a great bargain from an unexpected brand
This NVmE drive came at a competitive price (now beaten by Intel’s newest bargain offering which is not quite as fast, and uses quad rather than tri-cell memory – as yet not as tested) and it is in the upper tier of read / write times. I like it. Seems fast. Windows 10 install time was quite fast. Under 10 minutes with restarts. Seems to run great. Backing up will be important, as data recovery seems to have hung behind with spinning disk type drives.This drive is comparable to other brands I’m using with similar specs (Adata & Plextor)

Great upgrade for any PC still using HDDs
If you’re a budget gamer or anyone still using HDDs for gaming or daily use, this is one of the biggest impact upgrades for you. Reduce load times of your OS and games by a lot and improve overall performance in some games that take advantage of this blazing fast storage. (Star Citizen for example)It’s easy to install and the speeds match the specs on the description using Crystal Disk Mark. Very happy!

Great drive, but no HP support?
The drive itself is great. My speeds came in a bit below what I saw in reviews, but they’re within 10% for the most part. And they matched for the important speeds (reads). I ended up returning this because I got it cheaper on newegg, but the drive is good. Box says there’s a 5 year warranty.Only problem is you can’t find any support or support software on Hp’s website for it. Very strange.

DO NOT BUY – Issues with how the drive itself works!
I ordered this (the 1TB model) a few months ago to store large games that would benefit from SSD speeds, like reducing loading times. Around halfway between when I ordered it and now, the laptop I put it into began to freeze and bluescreen incessantly, stating “DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.” This would make either waking the laptop from sleep OR booting the computer from complete shutdown a 50/50 chance at crashing within 5 minutes of booting. Sometimes I would be fine, and sometime I would crash. It has gotten to the point where it is not guaranteed I will be fine if I do not crash within 5 minutes. So I decided to look into the issue.I already knew it was the drive, since there were times when my laptop would overcome the issue on boot/wake and actively disconnect the drive, requiring me to completely restart the computer if I wanted to access anything on it. After doing some research, I learned that the “DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION” error only occured when a Windows Error Logger becomes overwhelmed. I checked the system log and learned that at every point where I would have this very specific crash it would report THIS ssd to have a bad sector. Now, when I could get the computer to run well enough, using the “chkdsk” command in Command Prompt, it would fine absolutly no bad sectors with the drive.The resulting conflict of information towards the possible issue with the drive led me to further research this drive and ones like it. I have found that there have been multiple issues with the HP EX920 SSDs, with a lot of the issues being related to the firmware of the drive itself. Most of them were related to the drive not reporting temperature correctly or something along those lines, but there were other issues as well.Overall, DO NOT GET THIS DRIVE! It may seem nice as a cheaper 1TB solid state drive, but you get what your pay for, and I got burned skimping out.

Installed on HP omen 15 (15-ax250wm), no issues, great performance!
Joel Perron –
as I was expecting and looks great so far
Ian Edwards –
Not much to say, easy install, works great. Thanks

4 stars may be due to my specific main board which is only providing PCI-E 3×2 – was expecting speeds on the order of 1600 due to the above, however cannot get beyond what a SATA drive can offer: only getting ~ 650 maxing out for reads and about the same for writes (using the CDM 64-bit latest). On top of that the drive was not recognized by the HP firmware utility at all. Otherwise the drive works with no fuss. It’s not particularly slow that I noticed, but the benchmark numbers are not great. Contrary to what some were writing, Intel drivers cannot be installed either as the drive is not detected by Intel as well. Perhaps I’ll re-flash the main board BIOS and try again.

I’ve had NVME SSDs longer than this one, But the issue I have with it is odd the reads and writes are fine but for some reason the SSD will just sit there not doing anything even though it’s suppose to be loading things, it’ll literally slower than an HDD, I just use it for mass storage now.
