Affordable and Solid. Yeah that's a pun, yeah.
What can I say? It does it's job and at a pretty good price point. It's been about 2 months since I've purchased. I've had literally 0 issues so far. Easy install, didn't require a heat sink. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

Great value, easy set and works great
I was so tired of running out of space on storage so I was looking at option for upgrades and bought this since it was 2TB. Easy install since my motherboard had an option to add another storeage stick and it was also a great value.
