While it may be overkill for what I was trying to achieve, this little SSD really changed the way my computer boots up. I'm using RAID 0 with two 7200rpm hard drives and my computer originally started that way. It was fast, but as Win 10 updates littered the OS, boot times took longer and longer. Throw in that little SSD, do a clean install of Win 10 and keep RAID 0 for apps and data, and oh my! I connect to the network or play in just a few seconds after pressing the power button on my case. I bought this little SSD for the speed without worrying about the storage since I have an HD for that. I just wanted a faster system that could load the operating system and still be reliable. Now the computer is so fast that I can't think of any reason NOT to run this SSD. UPDATE: 9/22/20 This is an update of my previous review. My S70 256GB card is fine and is being used on another system. I liked it so much that on April 20th I bought a S70 512GB card for my current system. It is now September 20th and the S70 512GB card has failed. It was fast but died suddenly. My MSI board never found this S70 in the BIOS which was weird and I had to issue a refund for it. But Windows 10 still installed without any problems when I installed it in April. While the BIOS didn't recognize this 512GB S70 card, Windows recognized it and everything was fine. Now, beyond the 30-day return policy, I'm at my mercy to Addlinks to honor their warranty. And this is where Addlink failed. Although my S70 512GB card has only expired 5 months from date of purchase their redemption process is to send the card to Addlink and they will expire their warranty and provide a replacement etc. the package and now the package is in the mail. Addlink also stopped responding to my emails. Revain had to step in and get my money back, but Addlink had the opportunity to make things right for their brand and they fell through. This lack of customer service from Addlink is the reason I am now applying a 1 star rating to the product. The product was good, it worked quickly but broke after only 5 months and Addlink made no effort to honor its warranty.
