Review on πŸ’‘ Gloway 240GB SSD SATA III 2.5-inch 3D NAND Solid State Drive for Laptop & PC Desktops by Nathan Kumar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As long as it lasts, it's a bargain!

As long as it lasts - it's theft! I'm seeing reliable throughput of over 400Mbps for both reads and writes going through the hub connected to my MacBook Pro. I installed it in an empty external USB 3.0 enclosure (super easy, literally 10 seconds). Ironically, this was the first drive I saw unformatted (at least my Mac didn't recognize it). They usually come with ExFat. Anyway, another half minute and I was able to format it as an ExFAT drive. So, with little to no fuss, I now have a faster than average 240GB SSD (and absolutely blazing fast compared to non-SDD drives) for about $30 plus another $8 or $10 for the case. Sweet. I'll update the review if I have problems with this disc in the future - I'll fill it in, but so far a great product at a great price! Hope that helps!

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
