Advantages And Disadvantages Of Solid State Drives

I own many GoPro gadgets... They all have their uses, advantages and disadvantages bit if I had to choose only one it would be this one... There are so many ways to use this that is is my number one! It's actually my second one... Broke the first after many years of use and adventure.

Advantages are: wireless charging, fast charging (less then 20 min). Disadvantages: looks cheap enough, not as soft, so during intensive work one can always hear that click-alike sound from the screen, also a little bit thicker than pen, so it may take some time to get familiar. But overall it is a handy thing, especially when software supports all features of new Apple pencil.

(Please note I did NOT say a solid state NAS drive.) Seagate NAS drives provide great storage capacity, in a standard-sized package, and they're designed for NAS. Highly recommend.

This Sabrent converter is great in allowing use of the new Solid State drives in older desktop machines. Plug-and-play. Works great

The Sandisk Ultra SSD's have been my first choice for solid state drives. Great performance and at a competitive price. I've done a lot of upgrades for people and have had zero issues with these.

As a computer repairman with decades of experience I only use Crucial Solid State Drives in my own computers and recommend them to all my clients. I have never had one fail though I have seen Samsung and Intel drives die.

Compared to old Hard drive which was not solid state, the new drive respond time is noticeable. Did not want to change drives because thought I was wasting money $243. but after changing drives glad I did. Ron I

I am IT guy who replaces mechanical hard drives with solid state hard drives approximately once per week. This is a great brand, with a good product at a great price. If you want to compare SSDs, look for the highest number of Input / Output Per Second (IOPs) to best judge performance. Read/write speed is not a good indicator. I would rate the drive as a B+, which is more great for most uses.

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've always found Western Digital products to be trustworthy, from old school mechanical drives to solid state, and this SSD is no exception. Great capacity and good performance at this price point, all from a known, quality manufacturer.
