S101 SATA SSD 1TB, Internal State Drive SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD Sata, UP to 550MB/s, 1TB Internal Drive Solid State Hard Drive, Upgrade Laptop PC and Desktops

I have used the 1 TB SSD for a desktop and a laptop on but Windows (laptop) and Linux (Desktp) The results are amazing. My PCs now run so much faster. My old laptop used to take 10 minutes to boot on the old legacy disk drive it came with. It now takes five seconds!The desktop performance is just as good as the PC never waits for the disk to get data any more. I have two of these installed on my desktop and one on the laptop for a year now with no issues.

Drive stop working after short time. Computer crashed while working then would not boot. Sometimes good deal is to good to be true. The seller gave offer to give me a refund. I will try another one as soon as I get a refund. The drive worked well until it stopped.

Simple to install in a Dell 3555. Loading windows from a USB flash drive a little more challenging but successful. Now this relic has fast boot up, plenty of storage and works like a dream. This drive delivers a lot of performance at a great price.

Six months ago I bought two of these 1 TB SSDs. I manage a small business shop and I am constantly looking to save time and/or money. I have used these two drives in a RAID config for weekly backups.I always test any new component in a backup scenario before I trust them in a "LIVE" scenario. So far they have been fast and trouble free with no errors reported.

good drive........must be formatted before using

My PC is formatting this drive at a block rate of around 300mbps which is pretty standard. Formatting at this rate will take a little over an hour and I will monitor the drive's temperature and test transfer rate. I'm going to go ahead and install an OS on the drive because I think it will perform better as a primary drive. I will send a follow up review later.The following days I installed my os and got my games running. I immediately noticed that so programs are running better and faster. The os boots up in less than 30 seconds. Read write rate is around 540mbps.***Update*** its been a few weeks. This hard drive is running as my primary hard drive and is running stabily and normally so far. I notice no heat issues or slowness in fact my PC is about 60% faster than it was with the standard hard drive. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.***One Month Update** It has been almost a month and I am using this SSD drive as my primary drive. I have since upgraded memory and processor as well and all is functioning very well.***July Update*** I've had this HD since April so going on 3 months now. It is still working great, no issues at all. My computer boots faster than ever and runs quietly and perfectly. I have no complaints, so far everything is perfect.**AUGUST UPDATE**Still working great, no issues with the drive. I'm going to buy another one soon to use as a redundancy backup drive.**ONE YEAR UPDATE** The drive is running great without any problems whatsoever.

Works great in my old Acer Predator 15 9G-593, and with 2 HP Elite notebook Folio 9470m laptops.

Unless the product has been used for dozens of hours, you're not going to hear about durability here. You will hear that somebody saved money and that they plugged it in their computer and it worked.If you dig deeper, find out what their components and systems are inside the drive, you will learn not to expect too much out of this product.Mine, well it was DOA. Dead on arrival. So I couldn't confirm what was in it.I did try to contact their customer service both directly and through Amazon. They did not respond so the item is going to be returned at my earliest convenience.Apparently, this is loaded with Phison S11. I did not learn this through their own specifications, I found a reviewer who discovered it in the firmware. The Phison S11 Is famously bad. The S11 was used by some big name companies and it ruined their reputations.There are many other products in this same price point range that will give you much more reliable performance and established customer service channels. I ended up choosing a Patriot P220 drive for something like $1.50 more. I know I will have support and firmware updates if anything is found to be problematic well into the future.Something to keep in mind, a 5-year warranty, which is what they have printed on the box, doesn't mean anything when you have this generic off-brand. There's no accountability when you have a company that is invisible. They could close their Amazon store, they could change names and you'll never know where they're at. I guess it could be analogous to car warranties. A 5-year Hyundai warranty doesn't mean anything compared to a Toyota warranty. Hyundai is famous for blaming the driver for their design flaws.
