Review on High-Performance 128GB M.2 SSD: Zheino SATA III 2242 - 💯 Upgrade Ultrabooks and Tablets with Reliable Internal 3D NAND Solid State Drive by James Townsend

I received the Zheino M.2 in a nice box. Following HP's instructions, I attached the SATA III SSD card and screwed the end of the card notch onto the motherboard. I already had a 320GB 2.5" SATA mechanical hard drive as the OS drive. After I put the bottom cover back on the laptop and booted it up, I went into the Disk Management application and saw Disk 0 as a system drive and Disk 1 as an unallocated volume. At this point I downloaded the free EASEUS TODO Backup software and proceeded to my system drive clone to M.2 Since the hard drives are not the same size and the new hard drive was 256 GB smaller, I decided to do a simple clone where each partition is replicated. After 15 minutes the process was over and in Windows 10 I noticed that the newly cloned disk was shown as drive D: After the reboot I pressed F10 and in the boot menu I selected M.2 Device as my boot disk 10 I saw a new drive as my C: drive and the old disk as D: After working, rebooting and working for a period of 2 days, I backed up the D: drive, erased it and set it as my backup drive, creating a Windows 10 automatic tick backup disk . Since the boot process is now cached, the Zheino M.2.2242 256GB system disk boots lightning fast: less than 1/3 the time in seconds. The drive is quiet and fast. Overall a noticeable improvement on my Core i7 HP Elitebook 450.
