An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I recommend taking it if there is no trance 220 or there are doubts about its reliability. Suitable for home/office use.
It is compatible with an ancient AMD laptop, although it works at a speed slightly higher than sata 1, but at the same time it is much faster than any HDD.
As on any SSD, the full inclusion of a computer with programs. antivirus and Skype - about 30 seconds. On an ancient laptop - 40 sec.

Pros

The real guarantee on the check - 3 years. Those. no need to go to the manufacturer. The linear reading speed of a 4 gig file is 377 mb per second, the end of the file rises to 464. The linear speed of recording a 4 gig file is 381 at the beginning of the file, 120 at the end. It feels like a 2.2 gig cache in the solid state. After the cache is full, the speed starts to drop. Those. if you write a 2.2 giga file, then the speed will always be high 381. Full cache recovery time is 40 seconds. After that, the speed returns. At the same time, of course, all this is nonsense, because. solid state is cheap and designed for home / office and general tasks. In real life, such a huge amount of information will never be recorded. For the Internet or office affairs, the cache is huge and more than enough. When the solid state is completely filled, the speed remains the same (this is not an HDD for you) According to the tests, my copy works faster than it is in the rating.

Cons

If the cache ran out and did not have time to recover, then the constant write speed: 68-70. for example, if you copy a bunch of movies to a ssdhu. The site has this model, you can download Kingston SSD Manager 1.1.0.5, but the program does not see it. In terms of speed, it very much resembles a trance 220, but a little bit slower on all fronts. For some reason, he has a rating of 13%, although he is not much slower than trance 220, which has 17%.
