Intel 910 Series Solid State Drive 400 Gb

I decided to use an old Intel solid state drive as a tertiary backup unit for images.

Solid state drive worth it.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HP Elite Mini 800 G9 Desktop PC (Wolf Pro Security Edition 6B510UA#ABA) is a powerful workhorse in an amazingly small footprint. I measured it as a square of just under 7 inches and a height of 1.25 inches. The front offers three ports and a headphone jack for convenient use and charging of devices, while the rear has an amazing array of connections including 2 display ports, 1 HDMI, an antenna port, ethernet, and 3 USB. The graphics card is an Intel UHD 770, which is a high performer and capable to meet almost any workload, and the processor is an Intel boosted i7 with 12 cores, 20 threads, and up to 4.7 GHz. The SSD hard drive is 256 GB, which is not huge, however with a setup like this you will certainly have external storage devices so an oversized system volume can actually compromise performance. There are two memory slots, but only one is occupied (with a 16 GB chip) so expansion, if needed, is a breeze. For the price, this is an amazing list of features assembled within an extremely space-efficient design. Swapping components is as simple as possible, which is refreshing because it is typically case that components within mini pc are stacked upon each other making it a significant surgery to access anything - upgrading the hard drive or RAM would very realistically require less than 3 minutes. After all this tech-speak, it is a little embarrassing to admit that one of my most favorite features is the keyboard this computer shipped with. I usually bypass factory keyboards and plug in my mechanical one, but this is a seriously good and tactile keyboard that I will be keeping in use. All in all, this is a superb machine that is extremely competitive today - and stands to remain that way for many years to come. This one will NOT let you down.

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.

Cost effective cable for migrating my old hard drive to new solid state drive.

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!
