250 Gb Solid State Drive

Solid state drive worth it.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

This is for a new computer build with a 250 GB SSD for primary drive and the WD Cavier Black for data. This is my 5th WD Cavier Black - all different sizes. Never any issues or failures like my Seagate Barricudas! Will continue to buy and highly recommend.

i got this to replace my 250 gb drive that came with my computer. after three weeks i find the 970 evo plus to be much quicker than the stock drive. in addition, quality is much better as the stock drive was built with minimum quality parts. i definitely recommend this drive if (like me) the 980 pro is out your price range.

Just bought this tiny 1TB drive to back up four old 250 GB drives that are each 4 times the size of this! I was able to transfer the data relatively quickly, considering that the older drives only have firewire 400 connections. It's very convenient that this drive comes with a cable that connects to firewire 400 and 800. This little drive is going to save me a ton of space. I think it's great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It just upgraded the Steam library drive in my gaming machine from an older SATA SSD to a 250 GB NV2 NVMe M.2 drive and am just blown away by how much this single upgrade has decreased load times. I knew that NVMe SSDs were faster than SATA, but I had no idea how much the lack of PCIe was holding me back! This little M.2 drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface on my Asus ROG G550F motherboard and I've paired it up with my Ryzen 5800X CPU. I ran CrystalDiskMark on it and was shocked to see sequential read at roughly 6.5 GB/s and sequential write at roughly 2.9 GB/s! This is well over the 3.5 GB/s read and 2.1 GB/s write quoted by Kingston. I'm a little concerned about the overall write endurance of the drive: My 250 GB model is rated at 80 TBW. However, since I use this as my Steam library drive, most of my workloads are "write once, read many", so I don't think I'll ever get anywhere close to the endurance rating. Overall, I'm very happy with this drive and wish I would have upgraded my system sooner!

Every computer should come with these solid state drives these days. I already had a 500 GB installed, now I added this drive just for my photography files. Dramatic increase in speed accessing files. Worth every penny as the price of these drives continues to drop. Every computer I use will have one of these from now on, except my laptop (for now).

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

This is an extremely reliable and easy to use Solid State Drive. Once initialized it's easy to clone form a Hard Disk Drive to this unit. Take out the old drive, insert this drive, and put your seat belt on.
