I installed one of these in my son's tower and loaded Windows 7 64-bit (dual-boot / selectable at boot time) and retained his original 32-bit environment on his original 1TB (and half full) drive. Simply installing a new drive and booting from the install DVD allows two operating system instantiations, each on its own disk.The game system boots in 35 seconds even with checking 8gb of RAM and once up - absolutely screams on his games compared to the stock 7200rpm 3.5 inch disk. The dual disk / dual boot configuration assures that he is still able to refer to his schoolwork on the original disk and even run on that disk if he selects it during post.

Probably one of the best upgrades to a laptop computer is converting and installing a Solid State Drive. We run a computer shop and have upgraded literally thousands of machines over the past 10 years. Aside from RAM ( Random Access Memory) modules which is the memory your computer uses to calculate basic instructions when the machine is running, it is access to your stored data and the time it takes to get and write that data which gives the user the feeling of whether your machine is fast or slow.This disk was installed in a laptop that was previously booting in 1 minute and 10 seconds, having replaced the drive for the Kingston Drive and reloaded the Operating System,

Nothing is like the speed of an SSD. MY old computer was so slow I would turn it on about 2-3 days before I needed to research something or look on YouTube. It was controlling my life for If I was out with friends and I had to confirm something that they swore was a fact I would have to leave where were hanging out and go home to turn my computer on. I would then wait 2-3 days in front of it for it to boot up then look up what they said to be true. During these days I would sometimes invite them over and we would just make grilled cheese's and peanut and butter sandwiches while waiting for it to turn on. We would "take watch" as if we were guarding the computer from zombies attacking it.

I'm really impressed with the performance boost this has given my five year-old HP laptop with 2GB RAM and Windows 7 (designed for Vista). I know I should have something better anyway, but it's generally only used for web, Microsoft Money and a bit of Microsoft Office.Cold boot now takes 45 seconds instead of 90 (including BIOS bits). Opening Office 2013 applications like Word and Excel is 1-2 seconds, whereas it was previously 15-20.The best improvement though is switching between multiple users, which is an absolute joy! After clicking Windows-L, I sometimes used to have to put up with a black screen and 30 seconds of HDD activity before finally getting a log-in /

I ordered this a while back to have on hand for if/when my SSD fails. I have a rather specialised backup utility and make forensically exact copies regularly. So, pop in similar disk, run rescue optical drive, point it at the most recent backup, and instantly operational PC.But, I bought my father a new Dell laptop a year or so ago, he's a truck driver. It's his main entertainment when he's out on the road. He had an unfortunate accident involving a couple of ounces of carbonated beverage. Luckily for both of us I paid about as much for warranty services as I did the laptop. We sent it back and they repaired the screen and swapped a couple other sticky, yet functional parts.

After reading recent reviews of this SSD, I have to admit , some of the reviewers claims gave me pause. I have had good experiences with Samsung 840 series, the Crucial M4, and the Crucial M500. I was doing a rebuild of a core 2 duo hp desktop with an e-8600 processor building a gaming machine for a friends son. With experience, I have learned to be leery of many of the sour grape reviews I read , and to look at the competence of the person writing the reviews, many times it is clear they do not know what they are doing , their response is to point the finger at everybody but them selves for their installation failures etc.I decided to give this SSD a try. Ordered it on Monday,

I bought a MBP with the slowest hard drive possible to save money (knowing I was going to upgrade later). Once I was able to purchase the SSD, I removed the optical drive in my laptop and enclosed it in an external enclosure. I then swapped the old hard drive for the new SSD and installed the old hard drive where the optical bay was. Now I have two internal hard drives. The 240GB SSD is big enough to hold the operating system, and software with space left over to temporarily accommodate any projects I might be working on until their finished and moved into the slower hard drive for storage.This setup works perfectly for me. It was a much needed upgrade.

I was thinking about their customer service and how they treated me a couple months ago and felt obligated to leave a review.When uninstalling the harddrive to put in another dock the connector snapped. Needless to say I was upset because I had the hard drive for a month and just finished installing the OS, drivers, and other software. I called customer service, explained the situation, and they said no problem just mail it in and you'll get a replacement expedited. Sweet. Then I asked, "well since we're good on this can I send in pictures of its condition and try to solder the connections so I can access the data?" After the rep consulted his manager he said, "sure thing just email the pics,

EXCELLENT upgrade! I have installed this model in many PCs and laptops (I am a computer tech) and the performance increase is astounding!I just installed in a NEW laptop (maybe 3 months old) that the hard drive was running at 100% for up to 5 minutes at startup. I suggested to the user to upgrade to SSD, and they weren't really sure since the laptop was so new. I told them if they didn't see a substantial improvement, I would put it back the way it was at no cost to them.After the upgrade the laptop was at the Windows 8 desktop within 15 seconds of pushing the power button, and hard drive activity was down to 0% at 45 seconds. The user was delighted!So if you are wondering if you should upgrade to SSD,

My motivation for getting an SSD was to replace an old 5400RPM hard drive before it crapped out (still working fine, but it's around 6 years old) with something quieter and a little faster. A few notes about my computer use and what was important to me when selecting this drive:-I am using Windows 10 on a desktop PC-I mainly use my computer for basic tasks (web browsing, Office applications, photo editing) and don't need a ton of space-Customer reviews and price point were the biggest factors in my decision to purchase this drive-"Performance" was not an issue for me; I knew it was going to be faster than my old drive,

laptop disk drives are notoriously loud and slow. i was avoiding the laptop as the bootup time alone make me take 3 coffee breaks before i could read my emails. now it's boots and logs in lightning fast. it's not only the read speed, its that there is no "disk seek" time. I've gone from driving a tugboat to driving a jaguar !it was a bit tricky to get a bootable segment and a clean copy. after 3 attempts, here's what worked for me:1- do not use the CD-ROM except to make the "bootable CD-ROM with copy software", as you cannot shut down all the background processes in windows to get a clean disk copy2- boot from this new CD-ROM,

As a slave drive its great no complaints, however I have had 2 of these now and a friend has 1, there seems to be an intermittent issue if using as boot drives, they do not seem to initialize properly when having to restart the computer, sometimes upon a restart/reset the drive does not seem to get recognised properly and you get errors trying to get back into windows or it point blank does not boot. You have to actually switch off the power to the computer for up to 6-8mins before the drive would get recognised properly, Its not the motherboard as had 2 different kingston drives in 2 different machines and they both did it (as well as the 1 in my friends machine).Its not common and if you shut down and power off your machine fully each time it does not seem to do it,

It is 2016. You want your computer to work fast and efficiently, and it turns out that very often the bottle-neck is the hard drive. This solid state drive will function approximately 10 times faster than your old slow rpm hard drive. You won't have the volume of memory that the typical spinning disks give you, but you will have something that is better protected against shock, lighter, less draining of the battery, and faster. The speed is very noticeable, and I have just made my daughter extremely happy by transforming her 3 year old laptop with this. Swapping hard drives is rather involved, but I would advocate patience, a look at YouTube to check you're happy to try,

If you have not upgraded your computer or laptop to an SSD, you have missed the very best upgrade you can ever do.... far better than even buying a new computer. This thing will give you better performance than any hard drive based system you can buy at any cost. It is simply amazing. Boot times are a few seconds instead of minutes. Programs load in a flash. You will be astonished how much faster your computer is with an SSD. And with prices falling to ridiculously low levels, there is not reason not to do this. Some technical experience is needed to clone the drive but it is a relatively easy process that even a novice could do if they follow the instructions.
