SK hynix Gold S31 500GB SATA Gen3 2.5 inch Internal SSD - High-speed Solid State Drive (SSD) 500GB - up to 560MB/S - Compact 2.5' SSD Form Factor - SK hynix SSD - Reliable Internal Solid State Drive (SATA SSD) Review

I've wanted to upgrade my computer for a long time. Every time I play WoW or CoD I feel like my computer is still stuck in the 2000s. A friend of mine told me that replacing my hard drive with an SSD and installing my Windows OS on it would greatly improve performance. I saw SK hynix on the news last week and thought their new drive looked pretty cool. Installation was super easy and no complaints so far!

First you have to accept the SK Hynix terms without being able to read them (they're sealed in the box, and by opening the box you agree to the terms and conditions - although there's a brief description on the packaging). Second, the performance is terrible. Several tests show that he writes FASTER than he reads. This is exactly the opposite of what it should be. The third photo shows the performance of the CHN SSD.

I love this little drive! It turned my finished PC into a gaming champion. I did a little research and saw that SK hynix had just started offering 1TB SSDs in the US, so I decided to give it a try.

When I decided to upgrade to an SSD from a traditional mechanical drive, I had no problem going with this 1TB Gold model from SK Hynix. It offers superior SATA performance (see benchmark screenshots), is currently very affordable, and offers the highest reliability (600…

Over the years I have purchased hundreds of drives to upgrade computers for myself and friends. I use Mac and Windows computers for both personal and business use depending on my needs and the software I need to use for specific tasks. The traditional hard drive has been my absolute favorite for covering the amount of data I have on my personal server at a lower cost. Well, times are changing and I think it's time to switch to an SSD. Samsung / Western Digital / A-Data had so many options and I

Although this drive is exceptionally small by today's standards, it came as described and works great. That would be more than enough for the operating system and core productivity applications given the same limitations you would encounter with any other SATA SSD on the market at this price point. Storage devices in general are scattered throughout other reviews, so I think it's important to clarify a few things for future buyers. Storage devices, whether solid state drive, mechanical or…
