    This drive worked great in my Lenovo and in my Dell. The Dell had a 1Tb drive originally but was slowing down. Replacing the drive with this sped up performance. I will replace the drive with a 1Tb when the price drops but for now I will enjoy the speed. BTW the newer Dell computers in the same model come with solid state drives. DOH!

    This drive was a great upgrade to an older laptop I had. It significantly increased the boot time and overall speed of the laptop I installed it in. I ended up purchasing 2 of these I was so impressed, putting the second in another laptop for my daughter. I highly recommend Solid State Drives for any laptop or PC upgrade.

    I purchased this drive for my personal laptop only to find out that my laptop does not support drives over 500GB so, I installed it in one of my desktops. Not only is it fast but, it is really quite! I was used to hearing the old 500GB drive that was in there clunking along but, this one makes all the difference.

    This is singularly one of the best upgrades I have ever done for any computer and I have been a PC owner/modifier since 1994! This PNY SSD dramatically enhanced the speed of my PC. It is like a whole new computer. almost a virtual zero wait state and no wait shut downs too. I love it. You will not be sorry.

    Older Macs with 3G SATA hardware see 6G SATA drives as 1.5G (which is awful). This PNY CS1311 has the proper electronics to downgrade itself for use as 3G in 3G Macs as well as running at the full speed 6G in newer Macs (and PCs). Have bought many of these and never had an issue. Great product.

    The hard drive in my HP all-in-one desktop was failing. Best Buy suggested I replace it with a solid state drive and recommended the PNY. I'll only know it's true worth if it works and doesn't fail. So far, the PC is now much faster though the PNY has the same capacity as the failed drive.

    Best upgrade you can give your computer. Speed and performance that is incredible. I am a PC Tech that ownes his own business, and I am going through about ten of these a week with my clients upgrading their systems. When they see the amazing difference, I have an extremely happy client.

    Had a bunch of slow, old Windows 7 home pcs with 4gb ram, 1tb hdd, slow. Recovery reset all, and replaced all hdd's with PNY SSD's. Unbelievable. Running Windows of a SSD is the best thing you can do to make your PC RIDICULOUSLY fast...I haven't even added ram on to the 4gb yet, but I will...lol
