After my previous SSD bricked, I needed a new one especially since The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is coming out. Does its job well.

I bought this so that I could replace my 1TB internal HDD with a 500GB SSD drive on my laptop and it worked without a hitch. Please note that my original 1TB drive only had about 200GB of data in it, so I was able to clone it WITHOUT having to mess with any partitions. I simply ran the software that came with the kit and let it do its thing. Was done in less than 30 minutes.

Break them open, and get the standard SATA drives out.
Put old 120GB SSDs in ... woot!

Wow jus what I needed to fix some errors after doing a disk verify. And jus the dvd OS X I need to use when I upgrade to a ssd.

i bought two 120 GB vertex 3 SSD's, but they wouldn't work on my system.  Gigabyte UD7 mobo, high quality components, windows 7 64 bit.

One wouldn't turn on at all, the other one couldn't be seen by the windows installation.  I stress tested all the components, even installed windows on another non-SSD hard drive and used that hard drive with this system for five days without problems.  It wasn't the other components - the SSD's just did not want to cooperate.

I returned those two and got two new ones.  Those two new ones kept creating BSOD's when I was either trying to install windows, or afterwards when I tried to startup the computer.

I had a Raid card - i tried the SSD's with it and without it.  Same result.

I wish I had checked out other listings of this item and seen the other comments before losing all this time (as well as the fortune in shipping since I was shipping them internationally.)

I replaced the hard drive with a solid state drive.
Wow, much faster and battery lasts much longer.
However, this is not a task for the novice. You have been warned. lol

Although it's only 1/3 the size (in GB) as the drive that came in my Macbook, it's 10 times faster. I originally planned on buying the kit to create a fusion drive with the original 750gb and removing the super drive, but haven't needed to yet. I will probably upgrade to a larger ssd in the future when the prices drop. The drive fits perfect and I have no other issues as of yet.

I used this to clone a 128G SSD to a 250G SSD.  The operation only took a few minutes and now I have a lot of free space on my boot drive

I've purchased between 10 to 12 solid state drives in the last 7 years, and the only drive that's failed was my very first one - basically a first generation SSD, so it was understandable.  SSDs today are light-years ahead of where they started, which is why I'm so disappointed that this drive bricked on me today after 2 years.  It became slower over time until it stopped working altogether today - I'm guessing it's a trim issue, but I don't know. Point is, drive died.  Meanwhile, I have SanDisk, Intel, and Kingston drives that are working great so I suppose my next one will be one of those, or Samsung.

With a little help from the Transcend SSD Scope software and an external USB enclosure (and a few tries), I was able to mirror the contents of the factory SSD onto this one. The system complained when I installed it but then rebooted and has been working well. Occasionally, I get a disk error detection message after rebooting, but if you ignore it and continue to Windows 10 it boots fine.

I just got it brand new crucial m4 from amazon, but was hard to clone drive from my old one wit ez gig 3.
It slower than 415 Mb/ps, my score on ssd benchmark shows only 255Mb/ps i just hope new firmware will fix it.
Over all better than my old 500GB 7200rpm, but it looks more like i'm running sata 2, i give only 2 stars

This brought an old laptop back to life after installing Windows 10.  The new operating system was very slow because it wanted to access the hard disk all the time.  The old hard disk could not keep up with disk I/O requests, but this solid state drive runs circles around a hard drive and saved me from buying a new laptop.  Love it !

I'll update this review once I've finally seen the light of the SSD, this is my new main HDD in my new PC along with a couple older 7200 rpms's  for storage. I've never owned one, and now I do.  Let's see if the  hype lives up to it.

I'm giving it 3 for now because it's not reading my drive and it may be because that drive is bad. I replaced the HDD with a SSD because the HDD wasn't working so more than likely it's on my side but I will update it as soon as I get another drive.

Bought an SSD drive with an external enclosure but the computer did not recognize the SSD. I though the drive was defective.  After much research I learned that sometimes there are compatibility issues and one of these cables were recommended. I was skeptical but it worked. I bet there are many that send the drive back thinking its defective when the external enclosure is the problem.

I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my Dell to replace my 500GB HDD with this SSD as my OS drive.  For some reason, I couldn't get it to work.  Instead, I used the product referred software to clone my drive after some significant and necessary purging.  Everything is running well.  Boot time is crazy fast as well as loading times for SSD installed program files.
I'll update this if any issues arise.

I needed to replace the memory cards in my ASUS X750 series notebook when Windows reported there were problems with them. I did some research, and learned that the X750 series has two SATA drive slots. I decided to upgrade the notebook from the factory supplied 8 GB RAM to 16 GB, and also add this 250 GB SDD as a boot drive, making the original 1 TB HDD into a data drive.

The end result is that I have a screaming fast notebook. Boot time from full shut down is faster than wake-up with normal Win 10. If you have the skills and confidence to open up your machine, then this is well worth the time, effort, and cost.
