Excellent drive for older laptops

This review is from: Intel 320 Series 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2BW160G3H (Recertified)
Pros:
I bought this SSD in hopes of reviving my old Dell XPS 1330 laptop and boy was I surprised at how fast a 9 year old laptop could run. This 2007, 4gb RAM laptop now boots all the way into 64bit Windows 10 in under 15 seconds. Its very snappy with all the standard apps and web browsers. It's like getting a brand new laptop for $44.
Cons:
There were noticeable blemishes and scratches on the external housing, but it is a refurbished unit and besides, its an internal drive so no need to take a star away for that.
Overall Review:
This drive was thinner than the previous drive and I had a little problem with it lining up with the SATA and power receptacles inside the laptop case. I flipped everything over and that helped to line up the ports, problem solved. Also, I did a fresh install of Windows 10 64bit. Not sure of what the performance would be if you used an older image or operating system.
