Review on Sintech M.2(NGFF) SATA SSD Card for Upgrading WD Blue UltraSlim SATA 3 SFF-8784 HDD WD5000MPCK-Superior Performance Boost by Darby Perkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Resurrecting an old HP Pavilion Split X2 (13-r010dx)

My HP Pavilion Split X2 (13-r010dx) performance got stuck in a WD5000M21K hard drive. SFF-8784 SSDs are rare and expensive, but this M.2 to SFF-8784 adapter allowed me to use an inexpensive M.2 SATA SSD. (WDS500G2B0B in my case) Now this old HP works pretty well, especially considering its age. Note that the original hard drive bracket cannot be used with this board, but anyone with the skills to break into this machine will be resourceful enough to come up with something. My first order was damaged in transit. I contacted Sintech who sent a working replacement. Thanks for the great customer service!
