S101 256GB SSD SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive, Read Speed up to 550MB/sec, Compatible with Laptop and PC Desktops(Black)

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.

I tried 2 cable connectors and 2 enclosures and the SSD was not recognized. I tried the same cable enclosure with another disk and verified the cable and enclosures were fine. My first though was it was dead, but researching a bit more found the issue.The issue was that the disk had no partition or any kind or initial setup (all blank). Windows just won't recognize it at all. A MacOs machine was able to detect the uninitialized disk and was able set basic partitioning to FAT (probably a Linux based machine would also detected the disk). Now Windows machines are able to detect.I will be checking how it works and updating the review if I found any issue.

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.

My mature Mac Powerbook with a similar 1Tb drive started locking up, not having any more disc space. Double to 2tb disc space, and I am back with a function as l laptop in no time. SSD are fast, reliable, and really improve and laptop performance. It was quick, easy, and I was back running in minimal time. Don’t hesitate to buy this disc if you are suffering with too minimal disc space. Let something else be your problem in life, not a full disc drive !!!

An excellent option if u want to increase your pc storage. Sadly i can’t give it 5 starts because I didn’t come with SATA cable to conect the ssd to your board. So if want to get this product you better get a sata cable because it doesn’t comes with one.

I purchased this to add extra storage to my Asus Vivobook, but I didn't realize the version I have doesn't have the room to fit the drive inside the laptop. So instead, I got an external drive enclosure and it works like charm. It was easy to install, and has pretty decent read writes speeds for the money. It's a super economical way to add an extra TB of storage.

The only reason I decided to go with this SSD is because, well, the obvious: it’s cheap! I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a SSD that would be given away or sold cheaply.The performance: it boots fast, and so far it’s working perfectly. I guess time will tell, but for about $14, how can I go wrong? 🤔😉This isn’t something that I’d take a chance with my personal computers, or a customer; but it’s a cheap upgrade, and if this company continues to make decent hard drives, they’ll sell a lot of these.

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.
