Toshiba XG3 NVMe (THNSN5512GPU7)
The 512 GB Toshiba XG3 or THNSN5512GPU7 is an NVMe class solid state drive. The anti-tamper sticker names the Philippines as the country the XG3 are manufactured in even though some of the built-in components come from Samsung, in other words from SK or PRC.
The M.2 22x80 drive's performance is entry-level to mid-tier by H1 2020 standards according to CrystalDiskMark. While the PCIe 3.0 x4 connection allows for up to 3.9 GB/s of bandwidth, the XG3 is able to make use of less than 50% of that figure.

... NVMe drives have advantages in terms of sequential transfer rates in particular, which is mainly noticeable when you move large files. The subjective application performance, however, does not really differ in practice - Acer Aspire V17 Nitro BE VN7-793G Laptop Review | January 2017
