Fast enough for everyday use.

This disc is not very large by today's standards. One of the larger AAA games could use up about half of that. I use it with one of those small inexpensive PCs that cost less than two hundred dollars mostly for playing old games and streaming. I don't need a lot of storage space, but I do need a little more than the 100GB or so available. This laptop SSD plugged directly into the PC's slot without any problems and after formatting it worked perfectly straight away. Transferring files to and…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poor

Serviceable budget SSD, but the instructions need to be translated and the guarantee is unknown.

This SSD can be a great upgrade for an old SATA computer. Compared to booting from a mechanical hard drive, this SSD offers faster boot times and vastly improved responsiveness. Estimated read/write speeds for this 240GB model are around 555/515MB/s, which is good enough for everyday computing tasks. Installation is as easy as any 2.5mm SATA drive, although screws, brackets, and cables are not included. (typical for SSD nowadays). The instructions are in Chinese, but mostly just mention…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

Plain, simple, and does the job

Gloway 240GB SATA III SSD 2.5" 3D NAND SSD Compatibility with laptops and desktopsThe SSD ships simply in a lightweight, printed box. With shrink-wrap on the outside for security Protection from dust and dirt during transport Inside the box is the drive itself, mounted on a black plastic tray to keep it from wobbling, and a fold-out instruction manual The booklet is printed in multiple languages and instead of an actual manual there is one Series of images showing how to install it on your IKEA

  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad

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

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • Low maintenance

Operating normally: data storage

This drive is operating normally and has the stated capacity. When using an unfamiliar brand like this, I worry about durability. I don't use SATA SSDs if speed is my number one priority. The drive behaves normally. I would have to use it longer to see how durable it is.

Pros
  • glitters
Cons
  • approx.

Forget the manual - look at the price!

I struggled with my "modern" gaming laptop for a long time. It had an SSD which cost me many hundreds of dollars at the time and was a whopping 90GB! I've been running at 90% power for too long. I got this drive for $25 and the upgrade was easy (thanks AOMEI). Now I get my 6 second upload back. Who needs a manual!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Style 90

Amazing value at $29.

Gloway is a new name to me but they seriously compete with the big brands with this 240GB SSD for only $29! That's a pretty amazing price. According to my benchmark tests, this SSD meets the speed and compatibility requirements. No quirks, no problems or issues. This Gloway SSD works exactly as expected. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA++++

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Negative impression
