    So far my item has been well worth the money but I have only had it for a short time. I will know more in about a year once I have had many opportunities to save things and work on the hardware to ensure it does not fail like my previous hard drive

    Awesome. Bought this ssd to replace the original that came with laptop, you know that 5400rpm because I'm not computer savvy. Had a guy tell me my laptop was the slowest thing he ever saw and recommended me get the ssd. The best, saw instant speed and just overall better quality.

    This thing outperforms the old 960 Pro m.2 drive, and keeps pace in some areas with the 970 Pro. Excellent performance for the price.
