Pros: After 30-days of continuous 24/7 operations (with the occasional restarts for updates) this HP SSD is working as advertised. It replaced a 1-yr old Toshiba 240 GB SSD as the Windows 10 Pro primary drive on a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop. I used a STARTECH disk duplicator to facilitate my upgrade. A sub-$100 larger capacity SSD upgrade in less than 60 minutes.

Cons: None to date.

Overall Review: A nice and economical upgrade path to increase storage capacity.

Pros: Very inexpensive SSD sub-$60 cost. Flawless install on a Win7 and Vista Bus laptops. Read/Writes nicely on an STARTECH SSD cloner tray. Nice and very well protected packing. If I get my $20 rebate my net cost is about $40.

Cons: This Corsair SSD is my 4th branded OEM SSD drive and by far the slowest. Windows Performance Index is 5.9, same index of a traditional 7200-HDD. Passmark Overall Disk mark is only 1066. When compared with my older SSDs this 1066 is about 1/3 the disk mark of the others. Performance-wise, I do not consider this SSD to be a reasonable upgrade from a traditional 7200rpm SATA HDD. I own an INTEL, SAMSUNG, PNY(2) and CRUCIAL SSDs.

Overall Review: Thin, ideal for ultra-books. Practically all plastic body and no spacer or screws provided. Like my other SSDs, runs very hot and pushes the fan max thermal setting to the limit. Because of it's low cost it can be a nice entry-level "kick-the-tires" SSD just to see if my older laptops can handle SSD technology. NewEgg is my primary source for techie gadgets and this drive was purchased from there.

Pros: This unit booted up successfully the first time, and all the time since I bought it. No crashes or hiccups of any sort. The as-built Windows 11 configuration suits my requirements to test various, new and legacy, hardware devices in a relatively small and portable device. At the same time, I can continue using my "development" version of Windows 11 Pro/64bit. As shown on the ad video, this system is relatively easy to upgrade, storage-wise. I successfully swapped in/out the bundled M.2 SSD with various makes, models, and capacities easily. Likewise, I tested the 2.5" HDD drive bay using SSD and tradititional platter HDD technology. Todate, I have not upgraded the 16GB RAM to 32GB because of the high cost involved. For my use, I find this unit cooler/quieter than my previous test-bed Dell Latitude laptops and mini-form factor Precision. I've installed and reinstalled fresh copies of Windows 11 with relatively ease and success.

Cons: Although very adequate for photo editing and light gaming, its somewhat slower response for 3-D videos makes it unsuitable for serious gaming. The USB and other ports are too close together making it difficult to use them all at the same time.

Overall Review: Overall dependability, reliability, and performance exceeds my work requirements at a reasonable price. I've never heard of this company or brand before but I like it.

Pros: It's quiet and relatively fast. I think only a USB3.0 and eSATA interface could be faster. I'm using this unit as a portable drive for laptops and PCs. No driver issues whatsoever, including Vista. I bought this HP to replace my 8-yr old LiteOn with LigthScribe technology. I can burn LightScribe DVDs but this process is sooooo slow because of the artwork I used on covers. The tray open/close operation is quiet and gentle and does not "throw" the disc off the tray.

Cons: The LightScribe operation is very slow and the enclosed NERO 9 ESSENTIAL operation is not intuitive. But because I've used LightScribe on my LiteOn before, I managed.

Overall Review: If I can find another one discounted priced like before I'll buy another.

Pros: Under $90 for a 3TB is a great buy. WD HDD reputation. Systems recognized it and did the usual initializating, formatting, etc.

Cons: I consider this HDD from WD a DOA for me. Windows just would not format this HDD. I tried formatting it as a GPT and MBR, both failed. Since I planned on having this HDD as an internal 2nd drive and not a boot drive I thought the process would be a breeze. I got messages: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) and "Windows unable to format this drive..." First install of this unit as an INTERNAL 2nd drive on my desktop with the following specs: CPU/RAM: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Watch/16GB; OS DRIVE/OS: SAMSUNG SSD EVO/WINDOWS 8.1 PRO 64-BIT "Windows unable to format this drive..." Second install of this unit as an internal 2nd drive on my laptop via eSATA Dell drive bay with the following specs: CPU/RAM: Dell Latitude E6420-I7 Intel I7-2760QM/8GB OS DRIVE/OS: PNY SSD/WINDOWS 7 PRO 64-BIT. After two days for frustration, time to return this HDD.

Overall Review: Rezing it to 2TB and 1TB using my licensed copy of EASEUS Partition Master did not help. Disappointed but it was a good try. I'll try another model 3TB from WD or from another OEM.

Pros: Tried on two laptops and success each time. Easy fit into two different laptops running Windows 7 Pro/64bit. Each time the Windows HD performance factor went from 59 to 79. On a practical sense, the OS loads so quickly that I'm up and running in just seconds. I completed my testing by moving large volumes of video files (80GB) using another laptop with an equivalent PNY SSD. The file transfer rate was very impressive.

Cons: Runs very hot...really hot. My laser point thermometer has a sustained reading of 120deg. But this seems to be the normal operating temp of SSDs, My other laptop with a PNY reads the same number. As a consequence, the laptop fan runs almost all the time. I've tweaked the power mgmt in the BIOS but the reads stayed the same.

Overall Review: I just need to get use to the heat and fan running. But as prices of SSDs drop I plan to upgrade to SSDs the remaining family laptops.

I purchased a Mini PC GEEKOM MiniIT11 11th Gen Intel i7-11390H from NEWEGG sold by JETENG on 3/01/2023. I rate my purchase and this seller "tops" on my list.
