Review on HP 2AP98AAABL Retail 2AP98AA ABL by Wayne Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not worth the time or money

HP designed its own SSD to improve response times for disk operations on SDD drives. However, they have done nothing but create an SSD to make this performance viable. Buying an HP SSD means you already have an SSD in your system. They haven't done anything to improve SSD trimming, improve performance, or make it easier to migrate data from an existing HDD to their SDD drive. Given that I embed older systems in new systems, I advise you to forget about buying this (POS) solid state drive and install the SMASUNG 860 EVO in your system to really improve it and get the required Having application software to really make your system buzz. I've installed and migrated hard drives including Samsung Evo, (SP) Silicone Power, Kingston SSD, Crucial SSD, OCZ 100 SSD, and ADATA SSDs. Samsung sweeps them all away, but I give OCZ credit for also offering a trim/productivity app that monitors and adds an SSD for productivity. They also allow you to clone the system to make it easier to move the system to an SSD. Bottom line, HP SSDs are complete junk and I wouldn't waste your time or money on such annoying and nasty junk. No cloning software, productivity software and productivity software. Total garbage.
