And I was worried "why my 960 Evo M2 is running hot reaching 42C during load?" lol Thanks for the review boss.

I have the 240Gb variant of this SSD in a new Ryzen build I'm finishing up. So far, so good. I haven't noticed any suggestion of excessive heat under normal use, and I haven't decided yet if I'll apply the thin strip of included aluminum ADATA generously describes as a heatsink. (I thought NAND was happiest when a bit toasty?) As I said, good so far. But, there's always tomorrow...

Manufacturer is claiming PCIe 3.0 x4 support on this board, but really, all I care about is that it boots.

Micron has done a great job...happy to see Adata prices are in the entry level, with the performance of a higher end M.2 another really great job doing all of the (tedious) testing. i can now buy this guy with confidence and save $50 over the overpriced Samsung.
