    If you need to upgrade for a fast computer, this might be helpful. Booting speed is incredibly reduced.

    This was the last component to put in my gaming rig. The difference was amazing with loading times and gained a small amount of fps.

    It is fast. As fast or faster than other ssd drive i have used, but... and its thin, which is good for many uses, such as laptops. Did not, however, feel as solid as the PNY or SANDISK ones I have installed. Also did not come with the double-stick mounting that the PNY units do. Good price for its capacity and speed.

    I purchased this product after my Acer Aspire hard drive crashed in July and am very satisfied with the performance. My understanding is that b/c this drive doesn't have any moving parts, in the event of a crash, data recovery is more likely. Moving forward, I am definitely backing up my computer weekly to avoid any substantial data loss in the future.

    With the included software cloning the old drive to the new SSD was easy. Would buy another one if I had a system to use it in.
