There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When I booted it up for the first time the time required for the system to completely boot up was right around 20 seconds!!! Subsequent boot ups were closer to 15 seconds. SMOKING fast. When the computer was up and running you could not tell anything on it had changed at all, except the super fast boot time. The desktop looked exactly like it did with the old drive. All shortcuts were exactly where they were and all worked. I have read a few reviews on this drive that said it was not a fast drive. While I have no actual testing data to back up my claims, I am telling you this drive is light years faster than the old HDD it replaced. Programs that used to take up to 15-20 seconds to load open up almost instantly. Click, and it is opened. No waiting. Is it the fastest SSD out there? Nope. Is it a darn good drive for the money? Absolutely!
So far I can't be happier with my decision to by this drive and swap out the old dinosaur HDD. It was like taking the shock paddles from the hospital and jump-starting new life into an old system. If you are on the fence about buying this drive, do not hesitate to pick it up. You won't be disappointed. Wifey is very happy too! As the saying goes...If momma ain't happy, ain't NO ONE gonna be happy!
Almost anyone with even moderate skills can install a SSD in a desktop PC but here a few tips that will smooth the process.
1. First, make sure your equipment is up to the task. That means SATA II or III system, with open sockets to plug this thing into (Look where your current hard drive is plugged into the motherboard or controller. There should be empty adjacent sockets). And an extra power lead from the power supply. Most desktops of the last 3 or 4 years are probably OK but open up the case and check before you order. Also make sure you understand how to get into the BIOS settings, since you will have fiddle with the boot order during the install. (In my case, press F1 during boot)
2. Save yourself a lot of time and just buy an SSD with enough capacity to cover whatever content is on your drive. I cannot stress this enough. That makes it super simple to clone the existing hard drive to the SSD with the included Arconis software and you will be up and running in a few minutes. I tried to go cheap and get a smaller drive and spent hours moving music, movies, pictures, etc onto an external hard drive. And uninstalling programs. And even then I struggled to get content down to the level needed to clone. Be aware that although the capacity of this drive is 240G, you will need to get your hard drive content down to about 220 or less to clone it. And don't forget to include all the extra partitions, etc. That became a major pain for me. Save yourself the trouble. Just buy the bigger capacity SSD. The time and aggravation it saves you is more than worth it.
3. If you insist on going cheap and downsizing, begin by downloading a program called WinDirStat, which is free at downdload.com and other sites. It will show you how much content is in each directory. That makes it easier to determine where huge amounts or content are hiding. Then you can easily reduce the content to the level you need. I had about given up on reducing content to the necessary levels until WinDirStat discovered a special directory the manufacturer used to store a complete backup of the original Windows 7 install and all included software and drivers. 45 gigs! Once I removed that, I was good to go.
4. Once you install the SSD and get it up and running, go to system settings and force it run a new Windows Experience Index. This apparently makes a few technical changes (Trim) that makes the SSD much faster. The cloning software also has this option but you can do in Windows and also immediately see the improvement in the speed of your hard drive. I went from the low 5s before to 7.6 after SSD installed (7.9 is the max score possible)
5. The mounting bracket that comes with this SSD kit can only be securely mounted if your drive cage allows drives to be mounted to the SIDE rails. Screws must come in from each side. My case had some odd BOTTOM mount setup (but thankfully had an open bay for second drive) and no holes lined up on the mounting bracked. Be prepared to improvise if the hard drive cage does not have correct configuration. Not a big deal. This thing is very light and could probably just hang loose inside the case. But if you want a proper install, this is something to be aware of.

まずは、すごく簡単に、換装できたので、この点で、『はなまる』
換装後の使用感想
・特筆できるのは起動の速さ・・・PCがあっというまに起動するのは本当に驚愕です。
・動作音がないので、本当に静か・・・当たり前ですね(笑)
・データは取ってないので、正確ではありませんが、PCの冷却ファン起動頻度がかなり減っているような気がします。
早くから、SSD化は考えていたのですが、換装効果の実感があるかどうかに疑義を感じながら、SSD自身の価格破壊を待ってましたが、こんなに快適なら、もっと早く購入すればよかった。
