Wait. I take my defence back: Transcent sucks.

1. product rendering still shows the old product 

2. In the past it had DRAM:

Why is it so common to downgrade SSD without changing the product naming?

@LeventYep, I made sure that the thermal pads contact the steel plate. Thanks for the heads-up  though.

@James Evens It is quite frustrating. I ordered a few more SSDs of different brands, so I'll see if those contain DRAM.

And I am here with my 20C winters.

In Germany we had nothing but rain in the last two months. It's been cloudy and raining every single day. It's so depressing.

@TopHatProductions115 Except that doesn't make much sense for Apple, who only releases refreshes periodically. It'd make their products appear very dated, and would be a horrible business decision.

@PCGuy_5960 Agreed. You might have to dig a little deeper to find out everything you need to know, but it's not like the information simply isn't there. Razer for example? Look at the spec. If you're not, why on earth are you dropping thousands of dollars on a product.

@dizmo Tell me how it works for Microsoft Office? Or Windows, up until the 90's? Not saying that it's a perfect option. But, if no other options are taken, need some way to distinguish. Maybe Mk.1 Mk. 2, etc. instead?

They have model numbers. They're just not in the title. Again, just need to dig a little deeper. It's not rocket science. You'd still have to look up to see what MK they're on, so it's no different then seeing what model number they're on. It works for Windows and Office because you really have no other choice.

Do you have another computer nearby that you could plug your new NIC into? Run the same test on Ubuntu and compare the results.

@Windows7ge I don't have a second desktop available at the moment, and the antenna wires are glued to the card because the manufacturer. I'll see if I can get my old desktop up and running. By the way, do you have a tool you prefer for cloning OS drives? I'm trying to transfer the contents of a 500 GB HDD onto a 120 GB SSD. AOMEI Partition Assistant says I need more space on the SSD  (despite the HDD only having 80 GB of occupied space, and I'm having trouble finding a better drive cloning software. I'm about to try the copy of Acronis True Image that @James Evens so graciously sent me.

It's strange it's performing poorly on a different OS given it's the replacement NIC for the first NIC that was performing poorly. I don't know what core components if any would cause poor network performance if other clients appear unaffected.

Unfortunately I'm not a good person to ask about drive cloning OS's. I've always just opted for fresh installs every time it became necessary.

That is a fast way to see god. Everyone knows Mentos power cannot be contained.
