That day when quality met performance and performance met price.
I’m rebuilding a Dell E6440 and the DVD drive was wearing out. So, I opted for an additional drive, instead. This SSD fits inside of a caddy sold on Amazon. The hardware installation was straightforward. But I’m not a professional so I waited until my Wife got home. She’s a Computer Science Grad. For her it was easy to set up. And it works great. Very fast file transfer speed. And very reliable. It’s a Kingston product, and Kingston products are very high quality. The price is a bargain. I highly recommend this Kingston SSD.

What a difference, wish I’d bought it sooner
A laptop I was losing my patience with went from being “some old something I’ll use in a pinch” to “I can’t stop carrying this around the house with me” with one upgrade.I’d find some chores to do if I needed to reboot…it took some 3-4 minutes. Now it reboots in less than 30 seconds.Have to install a program? Oh crud, I better get comfortable, this is going to be awhile. Now its nearly as fast as my gaming desktop.There is no comparison…this 8-year old laptop I bought off of Craigslist with a 17″ screen was just for watching movies in the bedroom…its all it was good for. Now its a fully functional laptop with a brand new lease on life and that I plan on having for years to come, if it holds up.What a good price for such an impressive upgrade…very, very happy that I decided to try this out. I will absolutely report back if it goes bad anytime soon, but as of now my inner geek is celebrating getting what seems like a brand new PC. Can’t recommend enough.

Easy upgrade, gave big speed boost to my 2012 Mac mini
Swapped this into an older Mac mini and it made a huge difference in boot time and performance. Great value for the price.

Better for external than internal
It’s not the fastest or most durable, but it’s cheap.Better SSDs have a small chunk of DRAM to run file location functions while operating. DRAM is faster temporary memory which can handle loads of read/writes without wearing out.This SSD does that directly on the flash storage. It’s a cheaper way to build a drive, but slower and can wear out the memory just like if you re-wrote files constantly.It actually works out OK, but not a great choice for an internal drive in a high-use machine (especially a mini server). It’s worth buying something better for machines you really care about long term.However, it’s perfectly fine for backups and transfers. And plenty reliable if you want to turn an older laptop into a travel device or terminal.Check specs and tests if you do look for something better, rather than comparing star ratings directly. Most people probably buy this for the low-intensity purposes I suggested, so it gets rated appropriately high. Good SSDs made for harder professional use will have similar overall ratings after being subjected to much harsher use than a backup drive which spends most of its life powered off.

Do not listen to the bad reviews.
After reading a review by a DGS fellow that said he had 30 years in the tech business, I thought this was a real P.O.S.. Well, a little while ago my Ex called me up because she was having some issues with her computer and wanted me to look at it. Being the sap I am, I said ok. Turns out the HDD was bad. The bells went off and I remembered the review left buy the tech guy in Florida and I thought “Eureka!”. I would get this SSD for her system and within a few days her computer would explode like a dumpster full of TNT.I get the SSD not on time but a full day early in fact. It installs super easy and she comes and picks it up. I have to hide my excitement as I just wait to hear about the evil that is to come. So after about a week I get anxious and call the Ex to see what was up. Her “Boy Toy” answers and gives me the dreaded news. Not only is it still running, but it is super fast and efficient. He then proceeds to thank me and compliment me on “How mature” it was of me to do this for her even after how messy the divorce was. And how good of a person I really was for being the bigger person and all of that.Long story short, if your looking for a piece of hardware to sabotage your Ex’s computer with, this is not it. But, if you are looking for a stable SSD on the cheap to add some performance to your system, well, sadly this is in fact it.

One of the best SSD brands!
I replaced my 8 years old Samsung PRO to 480G Kingston SSD. Nothing wrong in $amsung but it is closed to the life of SSD. This should be my 4th replacement into 4 different PCs to Kingston in the same reason (I used Sandxxx – not that recommend), this is a solid SSD, very stable speed in surface scan and no bad sector, run faster than my old Sam SSD. Highly recommended.
