Review on MOVESPEED 256GB 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - Fast SATA 💾 III 6Gb/s Solid State Drive for High Performance and Speed - YSSDJQB-256GSQ by Jack Edwards

This SSD would be a great upgrade for an old SATA based computer. Compared to booting from a mechanical hard drive, this SSD offers faster boot times and vastly improved responsiveness. Estimated read/write speeds for this 512GB model are almost 550/480MB/s, which is enough to handle everyday computing tasks with ease. When copying around 55 GB of files to this drive, the transfer speed is kept at around 420 MB/s, which is a very good result. most solid state drives nowadays). The instructions are disorganized and in very small print, but mostly they just mention connecting the cables and then turning on the computer. Movespeed doesn't provide formatting instructions or software to clone an existing drive, so you're on your own. Luckily, finding instruction manuals online is easy enough. In terms of warranty, Movespeed covers the drive for three years or 200 TBW, whichever comes first. This is comparable to other entry-level SSDs but falls short of what some well-known brands offer. Technical support and warranty service will be performed at the email address provided in the manual. The company has a website, but it's entirely in Chinese. Overall, this SSD doesn't break any speed records, but delivers decent performance for a SATA drive. The white exterior is a refreshing change in style and looks great in any non-black PC. In terms of price, however, this SSD is a bit overpriced. At the time of writing this review, the asking price is higher than most similar capacity SSDs, including those with longer warranties and/or those that include data migration software. Hopefully the Movespeed will make the prices more competitive as otherwise it's a good drive. Four stars.
