Review on πŸ’₯ Transcend 64GB SATA III SSD370S 6Gb/s - High-Speed Solid State Drive for Enhanced Performance by David Burns

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fast Drive (537 MB/s read, 433 MB/s write) - use other software!

I bought this for my Lenovo T440 and it works great. It loads fast and all my programs seem to be much faster. I overclocked it to 537MB/s read and 433MB/s write on my laptop, which was pretty impressive. I'm an experienced computer builder and have had absolutely no luck with Transcend's software. It didn't recognize my drive at all on my USB SATA Themalake BlacX adapter, or even after the drive was cloned and I used it on my laptop. (See screenshot below.) I usually clone drives on my systems using Drive Image XML, but this time it didn't work for me. Other reviewers mentioned Macrium Reflect, a free program that worked great. I had trouble showing my old hard drive with CRC errors, but I was able to fix them before cloning using CHKDSK C: /f /r (from the command line in Run as administrator mode). Overall I'm very happy with the drive and Macrium Reflect, but very disappointed with the Transcend SSD Scope software (because it doesn't work).

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Only available in white
