    My original drive was not a solid state device. This one is. Geek Squad recommended this one and it is working perfectly. The technician was hoping that this drive would improve my laptop's performance. It has.

    While it's not lightening fast compared to other SSD options, it's the fastest and most stable at its price point. Great value and the perfect upgrade for anyone still running an old spinning disk.

    I bought this as an alternative to a higher end Samsung EVO and I'm not disappointed whatsoever. Installation was simple and the SSD speeds are great. This is perfect for any application short of heavy photo/video editing.

    Good price, good size, good read/write speed. There's no better way to add new life to an old computer than by upgrading from a spinning platter drive to an SSD.

    Great hard drive for simple PC installs where you want your games and OS on an SSD drive but perhaps cannot afford a m.2. This was used for a friends PC and it has been perfect.

    I upgraded my SSD in my CyberPower PC from a 120 GB WD Green to this one. I am very happy with my purchase and I noticed that programs such as Adobe LightRoom load a little faster.

    I love this drive. I've bought two so far and they are one of the best values you can get. This drive does have a Dram cache, so no worries about longevity or speed under load.

    Can't go wrong with just a cheaper SSD for a boot drive on an old computer. But still enough space for a couple games to boot off it (or some applications)
