Didn't Function After 1 Day On Old Toshiba Satellite L35-S2171 32-Bit Laptop

I would like to first state, after my purchase of this unit which was exclusive to Newegg, I loaded this in my super old Toshiba Satellite L35-S2171 which isn't capable of 64-bit and was designed for Windows XP. I was able to load up Windows 10 Pro and get everything installed on this laptop/working. The following day, I went to take this loaded fully in my laptop to work, and I noticed the SSD wasn't showing up in my BIOS! I went home, did some troubleshooting and my BIOS stopped accepting it for some reason. It would show it for about one reboot [when I was see it after removing it/reloading BIOS] and then it was not show up if I looked a second time. I thought the drive was defective! Later, I loaded my old HDD back, and externally loaded the Mushkin ECO3 SSD and it in fact was working!! I was able to see everything as it was listed. At that point, I realized my laptop was just not fully compatible with this SSD. What a shame because it worked for one full day only, and then was rejected by the hardware all together. The return process wasn't too bad, and Newegg refunded me the cash spent to purchase this unit. I would recommend this as I noticed when it worked, it was fast and did was other vendor models claim as far as boot times,etc. I also will say stick to newer PC/laptop setups if you do decide to invest in this model specifically since my machine recognized it, used it and then just stopped for no apparent reason. It's a good value, risk free [I received an RMA, so no problem there with return shipping] and feel it could be a great deal for hardware it's tested/compatible with. Don't get this SSD if you are using older hardware, invest in a higher caliber SSD that has the best chance of working!Read full review
