HP SSD S700 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP98AA#ABC

Had an older but decent HP laptop I was working on for someone. The original HDD was failing and causing corruption so I replaced it with this. For almost the same price as an HDD I was able to install this SSD and after reloading windows, drivers a d software this drive is noticeably faster and quieter. It’s still just a SATA interface so it’s not going to be blazing fast but it’s a solid improvement over the original HDD.

I picked up this up to use as an external drive for me and my wife's MacBooks; mainly for Time Machine backups and general file storage. Paired with a USB 3.0 enclosure, it’s been a solid upgrade from using older/slower external hard drives.Setting it up was super easy—formatted it to APFS using Disk Utility, and it was ready to go in minutes. Transfer speeds are solid for a SATA SSD, averaging high 400MB/s when moving large files. It’s not the fastest SSD out there, but for backups, media storage, and everyday file transfers, it’s more than enough and it's getting the job done!

This was a great switch to help get an older laptop running a little faster. I cloned the old device to this and installed. It was very simple task and all the data transferred over. This was easiest part. I also took apart the laptop to repaste the CPU and GPU. This took longer and was a bit more involved but everything worked out. Laptop is quieter and and faster to startup.

Cant go wrong with HP SATA SSDs. Ive used HP SATA SSDs, and even the ~120gb works 7 years later. I mention this because some other brands like Adata, I haven’t had good luck with. Those SATA drives have died out on MANY different computers I’ve built. Specifically SATA. But this 480gb SSD works great which speaks to the quality of the product, at least in my experience. Of course it was easy to install very typical computer building essentials.

I got the 256GB... for only $18 and it was delivered the next day. What's not to be happy about? I used it on my wife's Dell computer that no kidding... would take 6-7 full minutes to boot up. Her regular HDD was transferring data at a slow 2.3MBs . (she uses only about 50GB of space). I tried defragging and scanning for errors, and all looked good... but slow.. I purchased this, connected it with an external drive kit i have. Used Acronis to create a clone. Then swapped drives and it now takes only 40 seconds to boot and it's screaming fast.I scanned the new drive for errors and speed, and it's now transferring at 11MBs with no issues. I highly recommend this!NOTE that it's a bare drive with screws. I mounted it with heat resistant tape inside my larger HDD cage, but you may want to consider purchasing the correct size cage (adapter) for this to be screwed in to your larger HDD cage. This drive is SO small and light. The way I did it works for me. :-)

Una buena compra.
