Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got the 256GB SATA drive, and it's by far the best value SSD out there that I could find. Performance-wise it might not be the fastest, but for my needs (and on my old motherboard which only gets SATA I speeds anyway) it is perfect. Excellent customer service from the company, too. I thought I had a problem with the first one I received (in hindsight it was probably working just fine) and the company sent a new one super fast, no hassle at all. With my Windows 10 now on the SSD, it feels like a new machine. Installation tips: I am not a hardware or computer expert and do not profess to be, and I did the installation myself on a desktop and learned a lot in the process (mostly through Google and message boards). This isn't a detailed installation guide, just a few tips I learned. So here's how you can learn from my mistakes and avoid some frustration: 1. If your computer doesn't see your drive, and you can't see the drive in disk management or in BIOS, go into BIOS and make sure your SATA ports are not disabled. I had this issue and took me forever to realize this was the problem. In hindsight it should have been obvious, but I was learning my way through all this so I didn't think of it. 2. You will also likely need to go into BIOS and make sure your SATA operation is set to AHCI. BUT (and this is important) if your settings are not on AHCI and you switch to them in BIOS, you will get a blue screen on startup and crash. You will need to use the command prompt (as admin) first to ensure a startup in safe mode by typing "bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal", THEN restart and go into BIOS, switch over to AHCI, restart in safe mode, and go back into command prompt as admin, type "bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot", restart again, and you will be all set. After doing that, I was finally able to see both drives in the boot order. 3. If you want to move your Windows OS from an existing drive to your SSD, you can try to clone it and maybe you'll have no problem, but after trying multiple clones with different programs and having them fail every time, I finally just did a fresh install of windows from a USB (or other media device) and was glad I did. Don't waste your time with cloning and just do the fresh install. It could save you countless hours of frustration. I don't know if that will help anyone or not, but I hope it will. And if that all sounds WAY too complicated to you, find a friend who is well versed in computer hardware, buy them a case of their favorite beer, and plead with them to do the installation for you.
