After installing the mSata, startup times are reduced by 75%, Windows Explorer pops, Microsoft Office purrs and I have even been surprised by the speed gain in applications and internet access (Edge).Installation was a breeze and greatly facilitated by YouTube instructional videos on mSata installs in the XPS 8500.

The only downside is that the instructions to boot from a flashdrive to a clean install are not available

The install was really easy and simple, It just snaps in place not much effort or force

Super easy install.

but you needn't worry as it's right around its stated maximum speeds out of the box

Slid right into an Acer Aspire S7 and worked as it is supposed to.
