DOA or Incompatable

Reviewed By: MikeM on 6/17/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: None yet.

Cons: Removed 30GB Toshiba 2.5” drive from Satellite Pro 6000, replaced with TS8GSSD25-S and rebooted. Machine hung on boot menu; device boot list did not have new SSD HD listed. Followed all manufacturer’s installation instructions – removed battery, wore static wrist strap, etc – and even swapped out SSD with another 30GB 2.5” HD from a different Satellite Pro 6000; same results.

Visited Transcends website and it was pretty bleak. Posters with SSD issues would not get responses from tech support. Further, the problem with SSD’s not being recognized by older laptops seems chronic.

RMA’ed this one and will try another. For those of you considering this product make sure to check out the support website first.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great to have a drop-in SSD replacement for PATA laptop hard drives. Fast. Much less time waiting for disk I/O.

Cons: Only 8GB of space, and expensive for that.

Other Thoughts: Installed in an old Pentium III-M Thinkpad. It now boots Windows XP to the desktop in 7-8 seconds. I used nLite to optimize the XP install and I would recommend this if using XP.
