I know I might be looking for a unicorn, but my Dell Latitude 7490 came with a Toshiba XG5 512GB NVMe drive....and it sucks. The writes speeds are TERRIBLE. Firmware is up to date, tried 'hacked' drivers, etc.....nothing close to the 'Class 40 SSD' that this is advertised to be. Getting SATA speeds out of it....
Been fighting with Dell to get a different drive, but they keep sending me the same XG5 drive. I'm going to bite the bullet and get my own drive.
I would like something with some speed, but since I do value battery life....would be willing to have something that is not the absolute fastest not take a huge battery hit. For example; I think I saw the Samsung 960 Pro uses less power than a 970 Pro.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
