Review on πŸ”₯ Mushkin Reactor 480GB SSD - High-Speed Internal Solid State Drive - SATA III - 6Gb/s - MLC - 7mm - MKNSSDRE480GB by Jim Martin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good deal for a decent SSD

Bought two of these and they fit inexpensive drives. I've seen 250MB/s reads on two inexpensive laptops that have them installed (I just didn't have time for details in the read test), but that speed was everywhere with no dips. They're not as fast as the Samsung EVO, but they cost less. Cloning software isn't included so it's up to you, but for building from scratch or if you have the tools and know what you're doing it's fine. I wish I had time to run a full suite of tests as they weren't as fast as other SSD installs I've run on most Samsung drives I've bought (about 100 a year). In cases where Samsung is out of stock or overpriced, they are perfect.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Some little things
