These hardware-based solutions ensure fast, efficient, and superior security without sacrificing CPU performance. It includes NTI Backup Now EZ software to protect digital data from malicious virus attacks and hardware failures. There is even a data recovery feature to recover accidentally deleted files. The easy-to-use ROG SSD Dashboard displays key information like drive temperature, storage usage, device status and more.

i have respected Asus for a long time. i own and have owned many ROG/TUF items.
but i'm not a fanboy of Asus overall, but a fanboy of feature sets. sometimes those feature sets only exist (at first) at a price and sometimes they're worth it.
i had sneered to myself about them getting into the accessories market...until i needed a feature set.
i bought the ROG strix Arion M.2 enclosure not for the Aura Sync, but because it's 10Gb/s USB 3.2 gen 2
so i could plug it into a TB if i needed to
this SSD is a bit faster than that
