plug and play
Pros: easy install, SSD speed will eliminate the HDD bottleneck even on an older system it will make a huge difference. have had no issues in over 6 months of use
Cons: like a few other posts it will take you more time to download and activate the Acronis cloning software than actuall time to install and clone
Overall Review: none
aw shucks
Pros: while it worked no problems, lasted almost 2 years
Cons: life time warranty is a joke, once the software support expires you cannot get it replaced without paying for the software support to verify its broke...
Overall Review: just got slow..reset...tested... wiped to factory defaults tested... reloaded updates tested... disabled everything I was an evening ritual for a month like that's all I had to do with my time......tech support says its software related...or it wouldn't power on.....for the price of their advice I bought a Belkin....it works...life is good...
Does not work
Pros: simple menu lots of options
Cons: Does not work. no usable instructions, help menu or tutorial but then you shouldn't need it because it's so simple if only it actually worked
Overall Review: I have the experience of using 4 different types of cloning software on multiple PC's and HD/SSD combos and all worked just fine, problem was they were free with the SSD's and I wanted a full version for repeated use and more than just basic cloning. Thought this might fit that purpose but.....tried to clone the boot drive from my laptop to a SSD ( multiple times and methods) and this software never could create a bootable SSD...had to again resort to the freeware that came with my SSD..
avoid
Pros: when it worked it functioned as described
Cons: 1st one died within a month, second after a year, the 12 volt power supply draws more power than a laptop unit..so you won't be able to find a replacement power supply... also there is no raid configuration information on the product, so don't lose or misplace the operators leaflet ....
nice
Pros: cheap and they work
Cons: the retracting cord will not be happy with one handed operation, you must extend by pulling both ends of cord...no biggie yet it seems to be a challenge to some ...
Overall Review: so cheap that who care if you destroy a few 5 car charges 5 wall chargers which are universal USB so the work with any USB corded device as well as the supplied 5 apple specific cords...
plug and play
Pros: I either works or it doesn't... plug and play paired up no problem with existing 16 GB of ram' recognized in bios on first boot... no errors whats so ever.rock solid so far...haven't tweaked but for high end video rendering no need as I don't push mote than 24 GB of usage in my projects...
Cons: none
