Overall I have to say this is a really great product. It really sped up my pc , after a day I had 26gb already cached. Bootup's are faster , applications load faster, and takes the load off the hardrive for cached items. It works with AMD which is really awesome, because it uses the express cache software.For the price you can't get any better.

After reading others reviews, I decided to take a shot at it. Seemed easy enough to install and no real computer programming to attack. It was on sale here, so I ordered it. Installing the unit into the mounting box in the cabinet can require some innovation, as my cabinet is different than the typical setup, I guess. Anyway, I got it in ok, and turned everything back on. As one fellow already mentioned, you will not see an improvement until your system cycles a few times. After a few startups, (over a couple of days),(one of the videos tells you this, but it does not say how many or over what period of time) it works way better than new. Very happy with the purchase. The video on installation is accurate and easy to follow.

Well, it obviously does what it says, it caches regularly used stuff to help speed everything up. I am already running 8.1 Pro on my custom PC so everything is already fast. No SSD yet so I was hoping it'd be even better, but, maybe because everything is already lickity split I don't notice much of a difference. I have used a 32GB USB 2.0 Flash drive and by right-clicking on the folder/drive you can use it for "ReadyBoost Cache" through Windows itself (on Windows 7&8) and essentially does the same thing. Both the Sandisk SSD and USB drive idea are the same concept but like I said I don't notice much of a speed improvement. Boots just as fast, and after a few days I've cached about 25GB. I do heavier use at home on my desktop including heavy, high-end gaming and also have VS 2012 I use several times a week so I know it's being put to good use so far! I also like that you can clear the cache if it's filling up (which I haven't tried yet) and besides my old 500GB OS HDD SATA III port 1, this is running on SATA III port 0 to be sure it's as fast as can be. Overall, like I said, for >$50, it's a great buy and maybe it'll be even better when I clear the cache and run some games.
