Mushkin Reactor 500Gb Internal Solid State Drive

I purchased this product to move the Windows virtual machine that I run on my MacBook Pro under VMWare Fusion off my internal storage because I was running out of space on the laptop's solid state drive. While I haven't run benchmarks, it appears it to start up and run the Windows apps as fast (or maybe only very slightly slower) than from the Macbook's internal solid state drive. It is an excellent product for this application.

If you are installing an internal Solid State Drive to your desktop computer, you'll need this SATA wire unless you are able to scavenge one off another attached device that you no longer use. It attaches to the back of the SSD (or other SATA device) and to the mother board.

Solid state drive worth it.

I bought this drive to supplement the non upgradable 500Gb internal ssd on my wife’s IMac. It’s been in place for about a month now and is working great. The drive has Thunderbolt connectivity so it’s as fast or faster than the internal ssd. And it’s quiet (no moving parts). Time Machine backup works fine on it as well as the internal ssd so no issues there. All in all a good fit for additional storage.

I inherited a Mac Trashcan at my office. It originally had a 500Gb internal drive. This allowed me to not only upgrade the internal storage, but flawlessly move from my old Mac to the new one without having to reinstall all of my software and settings.

WD is the only drive I'll use I got a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and now a 5TB. I got all kinds of internal drives and my oldest I have 3 80GB ...one still unopen.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

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.
