So far, so good . - Storage

Installed on a legacy ASUS VivoBook X202E. Intel i3 2365M 1.40GHz, 4GB RAM. I replaced a slow 500GB SATA 3.0GB hard drive with this Toshiba OCZ TR200 240GB SSD. The download time to download was at least 4 minutes. 2 1/2 minutes for a clean install of Windows. Loading time is now in seconds. Apps load much faster. And I don't have to deal with 100 percent disk usage. With original 500 GB hard drive. I got read speeds between 90 and 101. With a 240GB Toshiba OCZ TR200 SSD. Now I'm getting 475 reads and 110 writes. It's too early to tell how reliable this SSD is. For my expensive machines, I'll stick with Samsung or Crucial for peace of mind. I'll probably make a Chromium book out of this old machine

Pros
  • Slim form factor: Slim design is 7mm thick for thin laptop compatibility
Cons
  • Protection
