Poor quality, not worth the money.

poor processing of the lower part of the disk - looks like a used one. in the guarantee they said that if it were not for the photo on the network with the same stains on the bottom, they would not have accepted

I installed more than a hundred ssd drives, the intel 540 series turned out to be the most unreliable! there are no complaints about the older intel series, but according to my statistics, these disks have already died by 20-30% in 2 years ! this is a lot! Now I stopped taking intel and switched to samsung, they are faster and cheaper, time will tell reliability. Although I still put intel in the server, but the server series.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • They're dying like flies!

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

Problems with the first began in the second year. Because stood in the cache - made a small indulgence and put 3, not a count) Probably, the disks could continue to work, because. except for the exhaustion of the reserve area, no other problems were observed. But every day there is no strength to look at notifications from the storage system and at the red smart.

Pros
  • Replaced under warranty with new ones. They don’t fly out immediately, but start giving information about the residual resource to the storage - there is time to buy a new one for replacement.
Cons
  • Since 2022, the disks have been changed 4 times, despite the fact that there are only two of them in the storage! Those. We replaced each one twice.

Poor quality, I will not buy this product again.

I do not recommend! Bought on 12/26/2022, now 02/04/2022, used it for 3 years. At the moment, his health level is 26%, he is dying, he urgently needs to buy a new SSD. For that money and that service life, I expected much more from Intel. Generally disappointed. What I overpaid for when buying is not clear. I think that if I bought some other SSD for less money, then it could have lasted longer.

Pros
  • Intel. Beautiful. It seems that the speed was higher than on the HDD.
Cons
  • High price in 2022. Small service life.

Works perfectly; Here are some reviews of this SSD

I cloned my laptop hard drive to this 480GB Intel SSD 520 series without any major problems. Unfortunately the Intel migration software couldn't see the drive (!?) so I used the Apricorn SATA Wire Adapter for the ASW-USB-25 (White) Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with the included EZ Gig IV software. Alternative software recommended by CNET includes the free EaseUS Disk Copy Home Edition or the free EaseUS Todo Backup programs for this purpose. The SATA to USB 3.0 adapter I use, Apricorn SATA…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Functionality

From 0 to light speed 8 seconds

On Thanksgiving I decided to upgrade my desktop from Windows 7 Pro to 8 Pro. When I finished the upgrade, I noticed my 74GB WD Raptor was down to 8GB. The day I needed the HDD I went to Best Buy to buy a 300GB Raptor and they were only available online so I bought a 180GB Intel SSD and cloned the old Raptor with an Apricorn HDD Upgrade Kit SATA Wire for Laptops ASW-USB-25. Note that this kit (NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CLONE A FULL SIZE HARD DISK, but will clone a full size computer hard drive to…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Bit torn

Best Upgrade You Can Make

Changing your computer's boot drive from a mechanical drive to an SSD is the biggest daily performance gain you can make, especially for laptops. As many reviewers point out, the difference is noticeable and enough to really improve the user experience. Considering you need an SSD - and you need one ;) - Intel drives are a good choice. I've bought 5 different sizes of Intel SSDs and never had a single problem. Performance has always been amazing. Intel has enough confidence in these drives to…

The Intel migration software worked great and worked!

Had ordered a ride and he came the second day after sitting on the porch all day he had a little cold. Follow the PDF installation on the minidisk that came with the drive. It said to download Intel's migration software, which I did. I then plugged the drive into my computer and connected it to available power. I connected the included SATA cable to one of the two 6GB SATA ports on the motherboard. There are 4 other 3GB SATA connectors on my motherboard, all of which have been used. a Vertex 2…

  • Dope 🔥

It has been working well for more than 1 year

14 months ago I used this 240GB SSD as a replacement for my main PC. FYI it was running Windows 7 (64-bit) with 16GB of memory, an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard with an Intel i7 3770 processor, a Seasonic SS-560KM PSU and an optional hard drive (WD1002FAEX, 1TB, black) , all housed in an Antec P183 chassis, supporting Asus VE278Q HD monitor and Edifier Exclaim e10 speakers. 6 months ago I upgraded my sister-in-law's old laptop. I replaced her 5400RPM hard drive with a new 240GB Intel SSD. FYI, I…

Pros
  • is clear, even to the old
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
