Review on INDMEM 128GB MSATA Internal Micro SATA by Drake Burroughs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works where my Samsung didn't

I bought a Qotom i5 "industrial" mini pc to use as a home router with no ram and hard drive and was thinking of using the 256 Samsung MSATA I had. But after installing the router's operating system, the hard drive lamp was on almost constantly and worked extremely sluggishly. Not wanting to blame the PC (although my drive is fine - I tested it on a computer with Windows installed) I bought this drive. Installed, works very well. The speed is okay, SMART runs normally, there are no complaints. MSATA seems to be more expensive than regular SSDs (I could get a 120GB SSD for the same price), but that's not a hit for this drive, just an observation of MSATA in general, probably since both SSDs were never that popular and M.2 basically took over the market. It works, I'm happy.

Pros
  • Built-in ECC and averaging algorithm, bad block management system with formula function for error correction.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
