    • Install was a breeze.
    • Granted, some of that can be attributed to the fact that I did a fresh install of the OS and migrated the data over, but there's no doubt that the jump to solid state is largely responsible for the increased speeds.
    • Replaced the 500g7200rpm HDD on a current Dell I7-4900 laptop that took more than a minute to boot (clean Win7 install.
    • No install issues and works flawlessly!
    • I have had some issues when installing on systems with EUFI, but other than that they are solid.
    • My tech guys suggested this SSD to replace a 3-year old production machine's c: drive for speed and to do a fresh install of Win7
    • See my other reviews for a dual bay hard drive docking station that makes it quick & easy to clone your existing boot drive to a new SSD drive.(Admittedly a more advanced user will get slightly better results by installing a blank SSD drive and then building a fresh install of Windows + apps since that gives the 'cleanest' possible OS, etc.)
    • With OS X and apps installed on the SSD and files and media on the original 2TB drive, this Mac screams
    • Install was very easy.

    • Easy install on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro
    • easy install and still working.
    • It downloaded the recovery software (really was surprised I never ever heard of this before) and I was able to format the SSD and get it to download Yosemite for a completely fresh install
    • I cloned the installed hard disk first using a 2.5 old casing from a sata drive, using EasyUS HDD clone program - it took me about 2 hours but did a flawless job
    • The installation was like a breeze fast and not like installing in a regular
    • I had a ton of problems migrating the old OS onto it however so in the end I just did a clean install.

    • Did a clean W7 install and reinstalled all our programs.
    • good i like it
    • they are a little on the pricy side, but once the 500`s get cheaper
    • I've written zero (0)s to the drive and will try to reinstall Mac OS X hopefully I can revive this SSD
    • ’s not as hot as before
    • I purchased this SSD years ago back when it was still new on the market, but this is a warning to any one: my drive came with 9 bad SSD blocks out of the box (even though the drive still works fine as of this review).More over there are much better faster SSDs available (Samsung 850 or 860 EVO or Crucial MX500), so buy something else
    • Works as expected, very fast and easy to use.
    • The laptop runs just hot as
