Review on πŸ’Ύ 32GB Transcend PSD330 2.5-inch IDE Internal SSD MLC Flash Solid State Disk by Robert Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Has worked for a year so far

I've had it for a year and it worked fine for a PATA only laptop (PowerBook G4). I tried another KingSpec PATA SSD and it worked, but there were master/slave issues, meaning it was either a CD/DVD drive or an SSD. With this Transcend I was able to use both (with this one in Master mode). At least with the PowerBook G4, I can maximize the transfer speed of the supported DMA level with this SSD. So this is almost a theoretical maximum, but not quite. So I would recommend it if you have an older laptop and can't fit a SATA to PATA adapter and SATA SSD in your system. Otherwise it would be better to stick with SATA if possible since you can use it on more modern systems.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
