Easy to install, that's all

This SSD was easy to install and that's the only good thing. Crystal Mark tests run, and read and write speeds don't come close to 550MB read / 500MB write. I always read 284MB / 268MB wrote. This is due to several tests. Disk returned. Also, I noticed that my previous review was never displayed. Try something different, preferably something from a well-known brand.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • No form required

New life for an old laptop

This gave an old laptop a new look. Faster loading times. a bit fast because it's an old laptop but it works great. For the price I bought 2 packs so I also bought a drive case so it can use the USB ports on the laptop.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Expensive

Good SSDs Data storage

I needed a few inexpensive SSDs for a conversion and they helped. I don't know how fast they are and I don't care. They're much faster than the mechanical drives they replaced. The price went up right after the purchase, so I probably won't buy again, but I'm happy with the result.

Pros
  • Understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • No paint needed

They are actually 128GB

I've had no problems booting Linux and/or Windows 10 on it. Crystaldiskmark confirms a read/write speed of 223 MB. I'm not sure if there was an error in the listing or if they accidentally sent me different ones, but the drives I received were 128GB each. It didn't upset me.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Good, but not great

Good SSD until it stops working

I just need a small SSD as a boot drive for my aging Windows desktop. This SSD fully meets all requirements. Good performance, quiet operation, easy installation, great price! But. After a little over a year it just stopped working and was inaccessible at all, not even to reformat. Unfortunately no response from Gigastone despite numerous attempts to contact them via website support and email. What's the point of offering a guarantee anyway if you don't support it.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Almost never

Works as described.

The only problem when I tried to clone my hard drive to this SDD was that the SDD was not formatted for GPT to MBR or vice versa, can't remember. So the cloning software does not perform this process. I had to put the SSD in another computer as a secondary computer, go to disk mgmt and follow this procedure. The cloning software will tell you what to convert the SSD to if necessary. This is just an example, but do your research and choose the right format conversion. Example. To initialize a…

When I put it in my PC's hot-swap drive bay, it doesn't connect when the door is closed. I have to poke it with a small screwdriver before closing the drive bay door. So I compared it to my other SSDs and found that these drives are a bit shorter than all my other SSDs. No problem if you install it in a semi-permanent slot in the computer. I'm considering cutting a CD strip and sticking it to the back of the SSD. This should do the trick. I use them to backup my operating system in case I get a

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing

Not what I ordered. Good for data storage

I need an SSD for data recovery. I have a Gaming Turbo SSD. I'm not a gamer. i think it works I don't need it yet. Windows 10 recognizes it and data storage is available. I wanted a simple one like the one in the product picture. I received it in the expected time and it works so I shouldn't complain but it wasn't what I wanted.

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • Available in black only
