There is always news of cheaper solid state disks, but my experience has been they check the market/monopolize with other manufacturers This is a really good drive for photo and video. Big enough to store quite a lot, fast enough for real-time editing work and scratch disk.

For the level of technology versus price point, it did the job nicely. Bought this to replace a hdd drive that failed in a Lenovo Yoga (price point of HDD versus this SSD was a no-brainier), and this not only brought it back to life, but it breathed new life into it. Not as much of a performance increase as adding more RAM, but file access and booting both are noticeably faster. Did what I was expecting it to do (a touch better, actually)

I can't remember if I bought this SSD for $90-95. But I will share this, so I "hope" it helps. This is a very good SSD in terms of "efficiency and speed". I used to have a high level Sandisk in my laptop and unfortunately it was defective and I got blue screens. When it "did work"...it was OK and OK at best at keep my laptop's battery alive. With THIS SSD, it's much more efficient and very quick. The efficiency I can say has gone up and easy 10% or more = for the Ungeeky it means I get more time out of my battery like 30-45 mins extra and didn't dissipate heat hardly at all. YES buy it !!
