Revainrating 3 out of 5

Just installed

Received and installed yesterday so I haven't had much time to run through the dialer yet, rating may change as my experience changes. I installed it on my new Nitro 5 machine (basic boot space was only 500GB, it's crazy we're getting to the point where that's not enough these days! But I digress.) This is my first outing . to SSDs and so far so good. It's amazing how technology advances to fit 2TB into such a small package! On my typical computer, it occupies two drive bays with two standard drives. Ease of installation. Pretty much all you have to do is plug in the ribbon and plug it into your computer, which is pretty easy. It was more difficult to connect the small connector to the motherboard than it was to connect it to the drive itself. If only they could find a way to install things without tiny screws! :P

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Some difficulties
