Read/write speeds seem decent enough for older hardware as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but you do better with the higher solid state ssd. *by G***S on March 3, 2026* Performance would be much better than the spinner the laptop came with. solid state ssd drives in sata3 mode out perform it and the differences are noticeable. For set up, make sure that all the drive modes enabled in bios. Driver changes are not automatic. You want the right Intel drivers installed at boot time if dual booting or your windows partition will not recognize it if booting from another drive. I had an empty expansion slot, and I had to fill it. mission accomplished. ## Frequently Bought Together - Transcend 128GB SATA III 6G/s mSATA SSD, Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 560 MB/s, Dram Cache, for Ultrabook, Desktop, Tablet PC, Server, TLC - TS128GMSA230S - Crucial RAM 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory CT102464BF160B - Protectli Vault FW2B - 2 Port, Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - Intel Dual Core, AES-NI, Barebone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/161041478-128gb-msa230s-msata-sata-iii-ssd-dram-cache-internal-solid](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/161041478-128gb-msa230s-msata-sata-iii-ssd-dram-cache-internal-solid) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
