I bought this drive to upgrade my full and sluggish 1TB standard Windows 7 drive. I wasn't disappointed. I just found a space in the case, plugged it in, dropped my Windows 10 disk in the DVD drive and let the machine do it's thing. In just a few minutes this was up and running with no hassle. On my old drive it took 2'30" (according to Glarisoft Utilities Pro) to boot and even after that it took longer for everything to settle down and the drive still chattered away in the background even after running various utility programs. Now it takes just 15 seconds to boot into a fully stable working environment. That's faster than 98% of all Windows users! Yes it's only 256gb but I only intend to run Windows on the disk so it's ample for the job. It would also make a great mobile storage drive for music / photos etc. This has transformed my computer. I can now begin editing my photos after a shoot in seconds rather than the embarrassing 10-15 minutes it used to take to stabilise. Definately recommenfedRead full review

If you know how to change a wheel on a car, or wire a plug, then you can install this (as long as you have a SATA computer) It is as easy as 123. 1)plug power and SATA data lead into new drive; 2)boot up pc and run the software on the CD that comes with the drive. This will duplicate your existing drive onto the SSD. 3) turn off pc, remove old drive, and reboot. Takes about an hour to transfer the drives, and what a difference!!!! My win10 boot time has gone from 30+ sec to about 7 (no, seriously. its THAT quick). Pros: A LOT faster boot times, loading times, file transferring times etc. at least half the normal time taken, if not faster! Very quiet. no noisy spinning or crackling noise of a typical hard disc easy to install, with all software needed can "raid" several drives together so 4 drives of 256GB appear as a single 1gb drive in windows Cons: Need to buy an adapter kit so it fits into your 3.5 inch bay (its a 2.5 inch drive) £ per GB is not as good value as a normal HDDRead full review

Bought to quicken my elderly pc which was taking almost two minutes to load the desktop to a usable state, now it takes 6 seconds to load ond use the same . What a difference it's made. I would strongly recommend moving the OS. to an SSD to get the best from an old pc or you'll grow old waiting !.

Very fast storage. Breathes new life into a worn out system. Feels very light. Seems kinda expensive for the actual storage amount but it makes a massive improvement to boot times and file transferring.

Good bit of kit. Well made, well packed and it dose what it says on the cardboard box, so to speak. Not the cheepest on the market and it would have been nice to get a small screwdriver with it as not everyone that wants to upgrade it themselves will have one to hand, including me.
