I'm using this SSD in a 6th generation Core i7 machine. I upgraded from a 7200 RPM 1TB HD to the SSD I am reviewing here. First of all, the overall speed increase you will get from using an SSD as your boot drive is significant. I can cold boot Windows 10 Home in around 20 secs from computer-off to a usable desktop. Dreamweaver now launches in around 10 secs from about 35 secs before. Saving large files is much faster as well. No moving parts, no drive noise. And now SSD's are relatively inexpensive. The drive I am reviewing (1 TB) was around $250. 120 GB SSD's start around $50. This is without a doubt best speed to $ ratio available for upgrading your PC. Most of you will probably need to clone your old boot drive to this SSD. There is software that PNY recommends and there is indeed a link for a download in their quick start guide. However, I had read much about TODO which is touted as "Easy Disk Clone Software for SSD Migration and Hard Drive Upgrade". It is from EaseUS and is completely free. It worked like a charm with no problems or hassles at all. Remember that the available space on your new SSD must be at least as as big as the partition you want to clone.
