I have a 240GB Silicon Power SSD. I have used it for moving files around but will be installing it in a laptop. It’s a good brand.

Amazon reviews are a great resource no matter where you end up buying an item from. I like to add the two top numbers (4 and 5 star) and the two bottom numbers (1 and 2 star) and see what that ratio is. Then do the same for another item if I am having trouble making a choice, which one to buy.

I once bought a health item on Amazon because it had zero 1 and 2 star reviews out of a total of 40 reviews. Astragalus in bulk one kilo.

Oh ok- thought you were looking for a 240 or so- I’ll probably get the SP one myself this Christmas- or maybre a little larger one- 500 maybe- have a backup dual boot drive incase my current drive poops out- that way i can be up and running as quick as plugging the new one in- Takes me about 1 hour to install Linux and tweak it how i like it- and over 3 days to install windows 7 and update it and tweak it and secure it somewhat and and and. But once it’s done i am good to go

Yup me too- i just use as a general guideline as sometimes the reviews are salted- but all in all i think most are honest

Disregard what I wrote here -——> “120GB will go further if used much and run faster with more files stored on it.”

I haven’t run an SSD, yet. Looks like it’s going to feel good, though. ;-)

Running a laptop that’s about 10 years old with an old, platter type hard drive at this time. It’s fast enough.
