it's a decent product that comes in a professional package. They offer free cloning software and good (very tiny) instruction. Not a job for a novice thought. A 3 on ease of use is my rating for most SSDs.

Good solid state hard drive for the price, loads quietly, boots up quickly. Main complaint is overall processing and loading after boot is not as fast as advertised, don't expect a ton of hard drive space. Would recommend however for someone looking for a more reliable SSD as opposed to regular HDs.

I've had different brands and honestly can't tell the difference between this one or the others except for the price. Samsung is a little greedy. I don't recommend solely for the price

Bought this to put in an older laptop where the existing drive was starting to fail. The new drive allows the system to perform better, plus provides increased the battery life. Would definitely recommend.

I originally purchased this product for my Asus laptop when I was told by my school’s tech support that it needed a hard drive replacement. I never actually got to experience the use of this product because my laptop had much more wrong with it than a bad hard drive. It would have been a great product had it actually been able to fix my original problem.
