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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap way to increase performance, but installation problematic

Installed Windows 10 on this drive and my car flies. Everything on this drive boots at 50% or less than my previous hard drive - the boot time has been reduced from about 30 seconds to about 10 seconds, and most of the time seems to meet the pre-windows boot requirements. a little rough. On a laptop you can probably just place it, but on a desktop you can. Well, it depends on what's already there. In my case, I was missing a drive bay (although I blame HP for that. Who doesn't provide an extra drive bay?), a SATA power cable (it's just cheap. They cost a few bucks), and a SATA data cable. Furthermore, even if I had a bay, the drive comes without screws, making it impossible to mount it. Of course, a lot of this was specific to my particular computer, but I sold a completely basic drive with absolutely nothing. -- not even mounting screws, which cost a cent -- looks like a bug -- at least they and a SATA power cable splitter would be appropriate. It shouldn't require a trip to an electronics store for a basic setup.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Slightly dented
