Review on πŸ’Ύ High-Performance Lexar NS200 2.5” SATA III (6Gb/s) SSD | 240 GB Storage by Ryan Reiter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as expected: Internal SSDs

I recently installed a new video editing program that also uses my webcam to record videos. Unfortunately, it didn't burn because my existing drives ran out of space. So I got this little gem. Installation was fairly easy - I use a desktop PC so I only installed 4 screws (not included) to attach it to the drive carrier, get it in place and connect the power and SATA cables . The only confusing part is getting Windows 10 to recognize and configure the new drive. You need to go into disk management to initialize the drive and then create a "new simple volume" for it to show up in the drive list. Now that it's installed, my video capture software works great, as expected. Extracting video files for editing is almost instantaneous and power consumption is negligible. I am very happy with this SSD and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to add more storage space or just want to speed up their HDD computer.
