JOIOT 1TB SSD Internal Solid State Hard Drive, 3D NAND 2.5inch SATA III Internal SSD, Up to 550MB/s, Upgraded Performance for PC Laptop Game Creation

Liked the price and ease of installing it in an external case. I used it on an M1 Mac Mini and it initialized just fine. When I transferred more than 100 pictures at a time the drive ejected without warning. I rebooted, repeated the same process and it ejected again. I stuck it in a different case and the same thing happened again. So I exchanged cables to make sure that it is not the case and/or cable. Then I thought it might be the speed of the M1. I then used the external drive in an Intel Mac and the drive showed up on the desktop and I transferred 8,687 jpeg pictures in less than 4 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised as to the speed and performance. Then I plugged it back into the M 1 and all the pics were there and it worked perfectly.

The thing worked smoothly, no hassle to install. I was amazed of the thin and light physical construct yet it's efficiency but best of all, the great price. Now I have to wait to see it's shelflife

Delivery was fast. Product was in nice packaging and came with mounting screws. Wish the head were larger and length were shorter. The wrong screw made it tough to get in on the first try. I found the screws that came with my mobo and it went in well. The drive was picked up by my bios and I installed my OS. It's been running great for several days now. I bought two of these at the lowest price I've ever seen for such a product. It's not the top of line but for basic PC use around the house, I save often to my thumb drive. I could have gotten by with the smaller drive for a little more I splurged. Short of a system failure I think this will get the job done very fast. It beats spinning metal for speed, hands down.

I build and repair laptops, I am not a performance tester but Windows loads extremely fast and I have had no performance issues with this drive in the laptops I have used them in and have had no complaints on performance. I would recommend this drive to anyone unless you have to have the fastest, most expensive gaming drive on the planet and it must be name brand. Sometimes budget is not a bad thing.

This was perfect for my needs, and it was at a great price.

Used to upgrade 8 yr old laptop by replacing original HD with this unit. Improved the speed of the laptop significantly, bottleneck is now the CPU rather than the HD. With original HD disk access was running at 100% for significant periods, slowing down machine. Now CPU is running at 99% and disk activity percentage much lower.

After about a year of regular use, the drive is starting to throw out errors. When it was working, it was fast but it did not last and now it won’t even let me open the drive. Running hard disk validation, it shows dead sectors which make the drive really unreliable.

This drive performs a lot better than I thought it would. The read/writes won't beat a high end Samsung drive but it also cost a lot less. You can't beat the price per GB and it will beat your old HDD hand down. So far,so good after several months as a game drive. Since it's an off brand I don't put anything important on it but as a game drive it's perfect.
