Addlink S20 120GB PS4 Compatible SATA III 2.5" Inch Extreme Quality Internal SSD 510MB/s Maximum Speed, Perfect HDD Replacement/Upgrade for Laptops, PCs & Sony PS4 (ad120GBS20S3S)

Was a little dubious before purchasing, as there is usually too much hype surrounding these types of disks. HOWEVER, cast away any doubt you may have !! Adding one of these units is like upgrading from a nissan micra to a ferrari !! I was about ready to throw my PC in the bin, as the original platter based HDD were getting slower and slower with the frquent windows 10 update ( no issues with Windows 7 ... ) . Given that my machine has an 8 core AMD Black edtion CPU with 32GB ram, this was clearly annoying. It got to the point where it take several minutes to bring up the login screen. Once logged in, the disk drives were going flat out and unresponsive for at least 10 minutes ( go and make a cup tea literally and another one to follow) . Apps were then slow to respond. Being a developer, many of the development tools were taking several minutes just to OPEN.... Thought I would replace the Windows drive with one of these SSD from Addlink, as a last ditched desperate measure. UNBELIEVABLY IMPRESSIVE !! The machine now responds faster than I can. Whole thing boots up in under 2 minutes ( BIOS is the slow aspect now, as that takes over a minute) . Once logged in, the machine responds instantly , certainly faster than I can. The apps now open up instantly. The developer apps that used to take several minutes, now open in under 3 seconds and are responsive immefiately. Wooo Hoo . Also had a similar perfomance issue with a dell precision laptop that was really suffering with the upgrade to windows 10. Replaced the boot drive with one of these. It is like a new laptop, with a huge performance improvement, similar to the workstation. (And I almost took the laptop to the recycling plant - ouch ) NOTE - You only need to replace the windows Boot drive for the performance gain. All my apps still run on a separate platter based HDD. Just proves that it was the OS that was causing the bottlekneck ( that is windows 10 for you ) As a measure of metrics, copying a very large file ( 7.5GB ) from a hard disk drive to the SSD achieved transfer speeds over 200MB/s on occasions , with a total transfer time just under 50 seconds. This drive seems to be lacking any significant read buffer cache, as repeated reads of the same file demonstrated no performance improvement in transfer times I am definitely buying a few more of these.

This was good value for money. It has really improved my speed and processing on my pc. Easy to install but I had to use software to transfare my operating system from my old HDD to this SSD. PC loads almost instantly and there is no lag. Its like having a new PC! Happy with the brand and quality.

Great SSD module. Used it as the boot device, works very well and noticeably faster than the HDD and other SSD's. Only comment I would say is that it tends to run warmer than my other SSD's, at a constant 48 deg C, but it's temperature is totally stable all day long so clearly isn't a problem for it. Would recommend it if you are looking for an SSD of this capacity.

This product I was sceptical about as it seemed good value for the money with it being 1TB, but i was presently surprised as I used it to replace a failing mechanical drive of the same capacity. My all in one is now much faster windows 10 loads within a few seconds now rather than 5 minutes as it did before, it has also sped up my internet surfing allowing me to search faster too. All in all would say it is excellent quality for the money and I would recommend it to anyone. I have only been using it for a short while so I hope I get the same lifespan of 6 years like i did my previous mechanical drive.

It works as expected, seems to be reliable (time will tell) but was definitely great value and much cheaper than the mainstream brands. Documentation and packaging was clear and in good English.

NOT AN SSD! I checked on optimise drives and it says HARD DISK. Avoid.

I replaced the mechanical 5,400rpm drive in my 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and have been very impressed with the speed increase. Start up from "cold" is impressively fast and when in sleep mode, opening the screen means that you are working instantly. App launches are very fast as well. I did realise there would be a significant improvement in speed, but the real world speed increase is phenomenal. This is a "must have" hard disk upgrade for anyone with an older Mac with a mechanical drive.

Easy to install in my ten year old Asus X53u laptop which has a removable hatch, there are plenty of videos on YouTube for other makes, to achieve a bootable hard drive status, as most people do I recommend downloading Aomei cloning software that I found very easy to understand and use, there are some free pass codes around for the full professional version, after a good wait , copying job done and a fantastic difference, when booting up cut by half and web browsing almost instantaneous compared to previous egg timer waiting. Good online reviews and YouTube recommendations persuaded my to go for this one and I’m well satisfied with the results.
