This basic USB to hard drive adapter is compact and lightweight, making it highly portable. The build quality is generally decent for the price, whicj seems to be made from durable plastic. It includes a USB connector on one end and SATA connector on the other end to support Solid State Drives.Most of these adapters are compatible with 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs, and this is adapter is no exception. These are plug and play straight out of the box, usuall work with both Windows and Mac operating systems without requiring additional drivers, I'm using WINDOWS 11 as no addition drivers for comparison.As mentioned above these adapters are plug-and-play, meaning they can be used right out of the box without any complicated setup. Simply connect the hard drive to the adapter, plug the USB into your computer, and the drive should be recognized immediately.In terms of performance, it's generally good for standard data transfer tasks. USB 3.0 models offer faster transfer speeds compared to USB 2.0 models, making them suitable for larger file transfers and backups. I havnt got EXACT numbers to compare it, with that said, this adapter was used for one purpose...to copy one operating system, HDD, to an SSD...which took around 1h.15ishLastly, this adapter provides you with a small but useful LED indicator for power and activity. This is incredibly useful to your eye, in the event that you may need tronleshooting, Light ON would indicate its not a problem with the adapter, light OFF would inidicate that it could be, with that said, use common sense. This can be useful depending on your specific needs**Pros:**- Affordable and readily available.- Easy to use with plug-and-play functionality.- Supports a variety of hard drives (SATA, SSD).- Portable and lightweight.**Cons:**- Build quality may vary, you pay for what you get.ConclusionA simple USB to hard drive adapter is an essential tool for anyone needing to access data from old hard drives or performing occasional backups. It offers a cost-effective and convenient solution, though it may not match the performance of more advanced docking stations or enclosures.

This SSD is an absolute game-changer. After replacing my old hard drive, my laptop boots up in seconds, applications load instantly, and file transfers are incredibly fast. It's the single most effective upgrade you can make to an older laptop. Installation was straightforward, and it's been completely reliable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a massive performance boost.

This was the correct ssd I needed, fitted and worked as a second ssd in the pc

Good ssd. Works as should

This drive is a bit strange. With small files benchmark it seems to have a bit of a struggle creating sessions for new files - I think. It kind of winds up a bit long to process small bits.They are advertising it as 1TB Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - 2.5" SATA III (6Gb/s), Up to 540MB/s Read and 500MB/s Write SpeedsThe benchmark shows maximum: Read 530MB/s but the write is a bit concerning since it's about 10% slower to the advertised: 458MB/s - not 500.I did a full format and it took ages to do it which is again - a bit too long for what others are reporting online. It took me about 4 hours to process the format. People say about 2 hours it should be so... not entirely trusting this drive. Time will show the reliability. Also it came with the plastic box opened - the seal was peeled off and it has someone's fingerprints on it - not the best start.

Brilliant upgrade for an older PC. Installation was simple, speed improvement is obvious, and it’s great value compared to other SSDs. Perfect way to give new life to an ageing computer.

Bought this SSD to upgrade my 10 year old extremely slow HDD Lenovo Laptop.I must say - I'm totally impressed by the boot up speed time and overall performance of the Laptop.Highly recommend SSD.

This is a replacement for a failed drive and i have to commend amazos delivery sreice for getting it to me wtihin 15 hours of order. Wow. Well i got it, installed it and it all works like a charm so top marks for the product which is extending the life of my daughters laptop before she goes off to Uni again. Fully compatible and great value.
