Review on Apacer AS350 Panther 256GB SATA3 by Adam Komosa ᠌

When replacing hdd with 5400rpm in an old laptop, it's "just wow", and with sata3 it's not the best choice. Apacer has been releasing this line for a long time and installed different controllers and memory chips in it. It is quite difficult to know or predict in advance which components are installed there. It's funny with serial numbers: none of the three have passed validation on the manufacturer's website. Maybe they will organize it later, or maybe they won't bother. Usually, everything quickly becomes clear with a disk: either it doesn’t work right away - marriage, or it works and then it will serve for a long time. Therefore, I advise you to buy in a place where you can return / exchange. Among a large number of similar drives, this is a good option. The photo shows the utility screen from Vadim Ochkin, which allows you to see, in particular, the installed components.
