Review on Mushkin Source II Internal Vertical MKNSSDS21TB by Bob Schultz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installed easily and works great.

Mushkin Source II - Internal 1TB SSDs I bought (two of them) were to use the Seagate and Western Digital 1TB SATA hard drives in one of my desktop - Replace computer. Dual boot, Windows 10 on one, Linux on the other. I was curious if I would have problems cloning Win 10, but I used Macrium Reflect Free for the boot partition and then Mini Tool Partition Wizard 10 for the other 6 partitions on the same drive and it ran without any problems. Then a second disk was cloned which had Debian Linux Jessie (ext4) and then two more NTFS partitions. I could only do this with the Mini Tool, Macrium doesn't work on Linux. The copying went well, the Linux partitions also became active, but in the end Linux could not boot. This requires a little more work. In any case, compared to my previous setup, these SDDs are extremely fast day and night and have not given me any headaches. The price was really good, I have several Muskin SDDs in other computers. So far they have survived an Intel SDD. I bought my first one 4 years ago and it still works. I bought one for my brother around the same time I bought the first two and it still works great.

Pros
  • Silicon Motion Controller: SMI SM2259XT
