Fast Drive does the trick. Amazing in speed and works with a lower power consumption. Great drive and very quiet. Same quality as those over priced Samsung.

Well I bought the SSD to replace my hard drive on my laptop. Worked like a dream, well I mean as long as you know how to partition a drive. I got it cheap during the sale for around $200, which I am kicking myself for because Samsung SSD are only $26 more last time I checked. Although still a solid drive (haha see what I did there).

I wanted to indulge on upload speeds and decided to dedicate 1TB of my favorite games into an external SSD. I purchased a SATA adaptor and loaded my favorite titles. Every other game I have lives on a separate 2TB HDD. While its not entirely noticeable due to the fact that I've been gaming since the 80s and had to physically put a game into a console, you will benefit with load times for huge titles like GTA V. My recent purchase of Red Dead 2 loads pretty quick. You're basically saving about half the time to load a game. Consider external SSD an indulgence for gaming consoles as PS4 and XBOX 1 do not support the full potential of SSD speeds but its a lot better than stock drives. Wait around the holidays, Black Friday etc. to purchase. The cheapest you could pay for is 1TB $120. The max you should pay should be no more than $150 for 1TB.

The laptop's original spinning disk quit working, so I bought this to replace it. After reloading Windows on the laptop, I see that it is much faster. It works great and I've had no problems with this unit. You have to be confident in opening up your laptop and careful with all the various little screws that are involved. It's a good idea to find a video of how to replace a disk drive in your laptop or computer so you know what is involved before you go in. You should have a plan to back up your data before replacing the old disk because it's not really possible once you remove the old one.

I got this for my PS4 Pro. before I installed it I timed a bunch of games to test startup times. It reduced all games by 10%-25% for startup which was okay. The drive really shines in loading data from disks and load times within games (single player since online depends on remote servers). A few truly noticable changes were in Witcher 3 and XCOM 2. XCOM has insane load times between levels where I would actually watch youtube for 2 at a time. With this better drive, I don't worry about these load times anymore as they are only about 15-20 seconds now. Great for Single player games! Okay for online games.
