This review is from: TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050H 500GB/SLC 8GB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD)

Pros:

I purchased 3 of these from a local vendor. The older systems I put them into are still running Windows XP. Performance improvement was very noticeable on these systems, and I don't have to deal with issues of alignment that SSDs have on XP. Great cost savings compared to my normally installing an Intel or Samsung SSD for TRIM support.

Cons:

I don't trust UPS for delivering hard drives

Overall Review:

I will post again if there are any issues with the drives, but 3 months, and they're still performing well.

These are very tiny drives and have to be packaged well. That's why I purchased them from a local vendor, since I don't trust how UPS delivers packages.
