This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW
Pros:
This is a smokin' SSD. It comes with a disc of cloning software to transfer your HDD contents to this drive. Software was easy to use. I moved about 70GB off my Velociraptor boot drive to this SSD in a couple of minutes. I now use this as my boot drive and it gets me into Windows 8.1 ready to rock in 15 seconds. The SATA data and power connections fit snugly and the mounting holes lined up with my hardware.
Cons:
None really other than the price of SSD. However, the price seems to have been dropping since Christmas, and I got this for under $200 (240GB). The day after I ordered, it went down another $5 with promo code. :(
Overall Review:
I used a Kingston SSD as a boot drive with Windows 7 on a previous build, and it got me up and running in about 10 seconds. But this was with the OS only and no other programs and drivers installed. So a 15 second boot time with all my programs, drivers and other junk installed on this Samsung is a testament to its speed IMO. Definitely worth picking up.
