Truly fast drive and most trouble free brand, for less

I wanted this drive as my "reservE" backup drive. On my Asustek CM1740 PC I had my clean windows install plus programs on a hybrid Seagate and reloading windows when it gets wonky, was relatively slow. Decided to get this 250 GB drive for that instead, to go with my 1 TB Crucial drive previously installed. This way i figure will cut the reload time in half if not more. I prefer to reload y windows installation when it starts getting dodgy with errors and so on, about every two months, this is the very fastest way to fix your windows install ( and i used to be a Microsoft MCSE). Just start over. I have a clever switch with 4 push buttons, that installs in your pci slots bay, that allows you to choose which drive you want to power up, when its time to reload, i shut down and press the button that will power up the reserve drive. Start the comp, go into bios and choose boot drive, the reserve (reload) drive boots, then use the enclosed ACronis disc software (you get a code to download the program free). Start the software, choose "clone disc" then choose source disk, then the disk you want to reload it to, then reboot (be sure to enter the bios, and choose to boot into your source disc one last time). The acronis software starts, choose "shutdown disk when done) and you are done. With TWO ssd drives doing this bound to be 2-3 times faster.Read full review
