Review on πŸ” Sintech mSATA SSD Card: Ideal Replacement for WD Blue UltraSlim SATA 3 HDD WD5000MPCK SFF-8784 by Brady Penczak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Revival of the old HP Pavilion Split X2 (13-r010dx)

The performance of my HP Pavilion Split X2 (13-r010dx) has decreased due to the normal hard disk WD5000M21K. SFF-8784 SSDs are rare and expensive, but this M.2 to SFF-8784 adapter allowed me to use an inexpensive M.2 SATA SSD. (In my case WDS500G2B0B) Now this old HP works quite well, especially considering its age. Note that the original hard drive bracket cannot be used with this board, but anyone with the skills to break into this machine will be resourceful enough to come up with something. My first order was damaged during shipping. I contacted Sintech who sent a working replacement. Thanks for the great customer service!
