Question by Sean Does this come with the 2.5 - 3.5 adaptor to fit into a 3.5 HDD slot in the case? Answer by shaund on Sunday, January 11, 2015

No.

Brilliant SSD by Arron In comparison to other SSDs this 1TB SSD is simply the best both price performance wise in terms of value and performance with it's given capacity.



From running CrystalDiskMark benchmark I found that this SSD was slightly superior to my Samsung 840 256GB SSD and both SSDs had the lastest firmware updates.



I have brought two of these where internally one is used for storing games whereas I put the other SSD into a LaCie external HDD enclosure (with USB 3 and Thunderbolt ports and is powered when connected through either port) which was originally fitted with a Samsung M8 1TB HDD (2.5), Rev B (in stock configuration).



Both configurations have worked well with full stability from internal 1TB SSD when playing games (it's seperate to main SSD with OS installed on) and I have been getting maximum USB 3 speed (roughly 300MB/s on average) with the SSD in the LaCie enclosure. I have not personally seen average transfer speeds with Thunderbolt as my PC does not have Thunderbolt technology, but I know my external SSD does detect and functions normally with Macs with Thunderbolt ports.



All in all this SSD is good as both a main OS drive and also as storage where another SSD is being used for OS for particular purpose, and is worth it's price given it's an SSD with good performance.



A magnetic HDD would be better for overall storage though with all factors consider, especially if you get a HDD which has 3TB capacity or more. 171 of 331 people rated this review as helpful Was this review helpful to you?

1tb of pure ssd speed by Flabby Let me start by saying I purchased this from aria pc the service was excellent and this was the cheapest website too.So the ssd for anyone that hasn't gone ssd I suggest it would be a good idea I had a 256 GB ssd samsung pro and thought would be good for just the o/s.6 months in I sold my 256 and a 1tb wd hard drive to pay for the 1tb ssd it's fast loads of room and migration software that samsung provide is excellent.Also the magician software is also amazing as there are so many things on there like maximising performance etc which is perfect for me for gaming.Ok it's an expensive outlay but it's worth it if you don't like hanging around.

will this work by nse will this plug n a work from the start in a P ENVY 17-j053ea 17 Laptop.
