Reviews around state (5.00 of 5)

  • I had so often heard that glitch games sometimes behaved better if you used an Solid State Drive
  • SSDs (solid state drives) have no moving parts like traditional hard drives so they are far less subject to failure or damage
  • That said I really had not needed the speed of an Solid State Drive so why pay all the extra money for the bloody
  • Fast internal SSD with a 5 year warrantyThis is a 2.5-inch form factor internal SSD (solid state drive).

  • I bought an 80gb around 2008 for 350 to $500.00 and they were hard to obtainThey are still working fine as extra storage
  • Boots are fast and storage is nice.
  • Until then, this provides a solid storage system for important data and transport.

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • There's nothing wrong with this SSD drive by Seagate, and if you can get it at the right price (GB storage to price ratio) in comparison to other SSD drives, go for it.
  • This is a good drive with solid performance though definitely not at the top of the pack, but it's a great price
  • I got the 1TB on sale for $175 - a great price with free Prime 2-day shipping.

Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • so when I say things were noticeably faster they were faster by a magnitude of 75% to 100% faster than the slow standard hard drive it replaced
  • I expect good things from this one as well
  • The best thing about this drive is it has a five year manufacturer warranty.

Reviews around performance (5.00 of 5)

  • Connecting the same setup to a Windows 10 PC (reformatting the drive for Windows) yielded slightly better performance, but still significantly less than expected
  • and it also has a special flash-speed function that reportedly will boost the performance up to 560 MB/s (90,000 IOPS)
  • This is a good drive with solid performance though definitely not at the top of the pack, but it's a great price

Reviews around system (5.00 of 5)

  • As prices for SSD's have dropped, I have moved to an entirely HDD free system in my own PC, and as I build PC's for friends and family, I only use SSD's
  • Until then, this provides a solid storage system for important data and transport.

Reviews around flash drive (5.00 of 5)

  • That lightweight drive is handy as a big ol' flash drive in a USB 3.0 case
  • Additionally, in other tests, any external portable drive or flash drive locks up the system when a subdirectory is opened as Root

Reviews around game (3.22 of 5)

  • Well I'm not an avid gamer at
  • Deep Space and Mass effect 1 game did not have the frame rate issues it had on a traditional hard drive
  • Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas frame rates sucked even with the SSD because; the game engine they used was so criminally over-extended that nothing short of a better game engine could save them
