Review on Mushkin Source II Internal Vertical MKNSSDS21TB by Mike Lawler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for money. Could it be that there are screws?

Based on the reviews and lower price I chose this disc despite not knowing the brand. I wanted to upgrade my existing 500GB SSD to 2TB. Installed the drive, cloned the existing SSD, increased the partition size and booted with no problems. Later setbacks aside, this appears to be a good deal. However, there is a small note. Why don't SSD manufacturers include mounting screws? It's not just about Mushkin, my last SSD purchase was Western Digital and there were no screws in the kit either. The screw size is not listed anywhere in the product description; I then ordered some "SSD mounting screws" which turned out to be too small. (For both drives, I eventually taped them to the bracket.) The screw holes in the drive are all the same size; It wouldn't be that hard (or expensive) to provide a couple of screws, or at least tell the customer what size screw to get. However, since this seems to be an issue with all SSDs of this form factor, don't let that put you off trying it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
