    I bought the SSD drive, with the intention of buying the Samsung, but no one could find the 3 they had in stock, so opted for this one. Boot time was faster and overall programs opened faster etc. The imaging software that came with it wouldn't work, so downloaded some of the free imaging software. Nothing seemed to work. So did a fresh install of Windows 10 and the hard drive would work correctly some of the time and most the time it did not. I think I got a lemon. I didn't think I could return, but called anyway and Best Buy took it back.

    PNY had some firmware issues a few months back that bricked drives, However the newer series seems to be solid (no pun intended). The reward of SSD from mechanical media is a no brainer.

    Purchased this SSD to clone to an existing SATA drive. It was for a customer that traveled daily with their laptop. With the SSD technology, she now doesn't have to worry with the laptop bouncing around while traveling and causing issues with the hard drive anymore. In the past we replaced her hard drive twice with SATA laptop drives, but after the SSD was installed that became a non-issue.
