Pros


I came within a whisker of spending £600 on rebuilding my 7 year old self built PC as it was becoming increasingly, painfully slow. After testing everything I could with free tools it seemed most likely to be that both HDD’s were beginning to fail. So I thought I’d try a SATA SSD first, on the basis that if that didn’t fix it I could at least re-use it as a second drive if I then went ahead with a new board, memory, CPU and m.2 SSD.


In the event it’s worked a treat. My PC now boots up to windows login in about 20 seconds and applications like outlook, excel, browsers, open up more or less instantaneously. I’d have been happy with that result from the £600 spend and doubt I’d have even noticed anything quicker. The only games I still play are ancient and undemanding, so unless something else wears out I’d hope to have the effect of a new pc for maybe another 2 or 3 years by which time everything I’d have bought today will be cheap as chips.


As for the SSD itself, I’m afraid I can’t really tell you anything useful that would help differentiate between this one and another one. I’ve used WD forever and it’s creditable that the HDD drives this has replaced were 7 and 18 years old respectively.


Fitting it was of course a doddle, if you can replace a fuse you can replace a hard drive, just remember to check whether you need a 2.5 to 3.5 inch bracket to mount it in the case as older cases often don’t have 2.5 inch drive bays


Cons


the package is not great and no migration tool or any indication.

not easy for instal tested the performance, slower than other similar ssd hard disk
