    Incredible speed, unbelievable performance, This is the best computing decision I ever made, laptop boots up in seconds, hopefully giving me much more use out of a computer that was on it's last leg (it replaced a HDD which even new was nowhere close to the speed of this SDD).

    Purchased for my laptop and everything works great. Installation went seamlessly and I had my computer working with half an hour. Boot up times are significantly faster with apps faster as well. A SSD will not speed up internet speed but otherwise I am extremely happy.

    I didn't pay a lot of attention to the difference between hard drives and SSDs other than the capacity versus price. Now that I've been using the PNY SSDs and can see significant improvement in the speed of SSDs over standard hard drives I'll never switch back.

    I have only had the drive a few weeks but so far it has been excellent. Installed in a Mac mini and it has increased the performance by magnitudes. This 2011 Mac mini is faster than when first purchased.

    I added to my 1 TB drive that came with my HP desktop, this pony 480GB drive. It came with software so I could copy the operating system and make it my startup drive. Worked flawlessly and has been going strong for the past 2 months. Highly recommended.

    I didn't want to pony up the extra money for a Samsung Evo 850 and after some research this seemed like a great second option. The speeds are good and the process to move data from your hard drive to the SSD was a breeze. After the transfer you will notice a massive decrease in load and boot times. If I could go back and do it again I would have probably when the Samsung route but this thing isn't too bad.

    I had a Sandisk SSD fail on a customer's pc so I needed a quick replacement. This was a well reviewed drive and the price was excellent. I replaced the Sandisk, restored the drive from our backup device and it's been doing great ever since.

    This is a great basic boot drive. The performance is much better than a mechanical drive, but not as good as a higher tier drive, but that is to be expected at this price point. I will say, however, that is would be nice if all SSD manufacturers include a housing adapter. Overall, it is a good basic drive.

    I've been using a few of these in my desktop PC to install STEAM titles on and performance has been great, especially for the price. It also does great for installations of Windows 7 / 10 for an unbeatable boot time.

    i was not getting the speed wanted and the geek squad suggest solid state. I purchased the solid state drive and they installed for free. The computer has been working great for 2 years.

    Was as easy to install as any drive, not a hitch. Can't say how fast it is compared to other drives, but boots windows 10 in under 15 seconds on my machine. Hope it lasts a long time, only had it a couple weeks.

    This was a very easy upgrade. It took a little over an hour to do the transfer and after that it works just perfect. The migrating transfer was very easy to use. The computer works just like before but I have more space now.

    I have used PNY products many times and have not found one of them to be faulty. They have proved to be reliable with good performance. This is my first time to convert a laptop from hdd to ssd and, I have to say that I'm inpressed with the speed and performance. I read several reviews on ssd's and decided to go with the PNY. The boot time was approximately 6 times faster than the hdd (5400 rpm) that came with the laptop and battery lasts considerably longer. Programs (apps) load much quicker than before as well. I use Speccy to check components and it indicates the laptop temperature is cooler (30c or less). This has been a great performance improvement for this 4 year old laptop.
