"A great low cost upgrade for older hardware"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's a SATA 2.5 SSD. By the nature of the connection, they all max out at the same speed so the only difference you pay for is how long the drive lasts and what extras you get in the box. You pay for the drive and nothing else.

But that's all you need if you want to upgrade older hardware. I bought this to replace an HDD in a 7-year-old work laptop that can be very slow thanks to needing to run several cloud drives, adobe creative suite, and specialist printer software.

On the HDD it took 90–120 seconds to boot up, and was the bottleneck for everything. Cloned the HDD to the Biostar SSD and swapped them over. Now on the SSD boots in 20– 40 seconds and no more bottlenecks. This single upgrade means the laptop (which I also purchased from Mighty Ape) will be good for another two or three years use at work.

If you have an older slower machine, this SSD might be the kick in the pants it needs.

"Does the job"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Does what it's suppose to. Will advise to get an NVMe m.2 SSD instead if compatible with your setup, as it has a much bigger difference.

"Good speed boost at a low price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Probably not as fast as a more expensive SSD (though I note the manufacturer is WD, Western Digital, when I plug it in), but definitely did the trick! Am using it to store games on, have given a bit of a speed boost in loading times which I'm happy with, especially for the price (got this on special).
