The HP EX920 M.2 SSD Review: Finding the Mainstream Sweet Spot

Historically, HP has not been a big player in the consumer storage market. Recently however, the HP brand has been used for several SSDs based on reference designs for Silicon Motion's SSD controllers. The HP EX920 SSD puts Silicon Motion's high-end NVMe SSD controller into a drive that is far cheaper than other flagship NVMe SSDs. The EX920 can't always match the performance of the fastest drives on the market, but it comes close enough for a much lower price. As a result, the drive has a very solid foothold as the mainstream NVMe SSD to beat.
