Reviews around speed (4.19 of 5)

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro was on its last leg as far as speed was concerned.
  • Solved the constant annoying disk 100 error i had, and definitively, the speed is incomparable; video editing, gaming, and boot time are examples that take advantage of this.
  • I'm was about to give my old gaming laptop due to slow speed but this SSD made it better then new.
  • Good speed, os boot reading as fast as 4000mbs with turbo on, great value
  • Speed is great, lasting a very long time with constant gaming / software development abuse.

  • Works great while working, but for now, I trust the old fashioned hard drives for backing up my data.
  • BUT by far this was the most straight forward error free process i have ever worked with.
  • This SSD was pretty simple to install and has worked great so far

Reviews around rpm (1.00 of 5)

  • I love my Toshiba S55-B5280 laptop again!My laptop was VERY sluggish with its factory 1TB 5400 RPM Toshiba drive
  • I bought this SSD to upgrade my Windows 10 laptop from a 5400 rpm hard drive to an SSD
  • My guess is that any older Mac or PC that has one of those slow 5400 RPM platter HDs will see a significant speedup if replaced with solid state drive such as this one.
  • Replaced my slow 5400 RPM HDD with this and my Acer Spin 3 is off to the races
