Bought this to speed up my ...sluggish old PC which took nearly 5 min to load Windows. Easily replaced my old HDD, reinstalled windows and startup time now less than 30 sec with no churning after Windows loads. The read/write time to this disk is super fast compared to my old drive. Overall a cheap and easy way to make an ageing PC run like new (and the old drive can be used as storage).

These are fine SSDs, the problem was that these ...turned out to be a bit smaller in capacity than I required. I expect that I shall find a use for them at some stage.

It arrive on time, is what it says it is. It was easy to ...install in a HP laptop, and has happily accepted Windows 10 Pro Spring edition. Great speed improvement on the supplied (but much bigger capacity) mechanical hard disk.

I have a laptop that runs an i5 Cpu but it's ...been rather sluggish even after a fresh install. It took around 2 minutes from power on to actually being able to use it. I replaced the hard drive with this ssd and now it takes around 10 - 15 seconds from power on to using the laptop. The overall machine is much more nippy and responsive and actually better than the day it was new. I've used ssd on my desktop for years which is why I did this to my laptop. This is a very affordable upgrade for just over £20,its a DIY job to install, and almost anyone can reinstall windows (if not sure, watch YouTube) and add a bonus, the old drive you remove, put in an external case for about £5 from ebay and you have an external hard drive. So don't go spending £hundreds, grab one of these in whatever size you feel the need and give your machine a boost. Note: the larger the ssd the more it costs, so i have on my desktop a 240gb ssd with Windows and my key software on, and a mechanical hard drive with all my films, music, photos etc on a their much cheeper fit large drive..

Great little solid state drive which is ideal if you are upgradin...g an old system. I still use a traditional hard drive for storing all my media and important data, but if you are reinstalling your operating system then this makes a tired computer very snappy indeed. Gone are the days it took 5 minutes to boot up to a usable desktop, in less than 30 seconds it's ready to go. The drive is a 2.5" form factor which is good for laptops or desktops alike. Rather than spend money on drivebay converters for the latter I just used a few cable ties through the mounting holes and attached to the side of the drive bay brackets. It weighs barely anything and has no moving parts anyway. The read/write speeds are impressive for such a budget device and if used as a boot drive rather than for any work it should last many many years. The drive case looks pretty durable and you can remove it if you so wish. The pcb and chips inside actually occupy only half the space.
