    Bought this as an upgrade for my boot drive on a computer that I use for mild editing, and video review. Makes Windows 10 start up in seconds...no more waiting for your computer to wake up. Turn on computer, turn on monitor, and boom!!! Windows log in screen...never knew a computer could start up so fast until I put this thing and started it up for the first time!!
