Pros: great software from intel, ez to install

Cons: Recertified drive had over 3600 hours on it, drive died at 3800 hours. Drive health at 98% when installed, Dead with 97% health

Pros: The speed and price fit very well with my 6-year old laptop. It revived the entire machine and made the laptop work like new again. I was very happy about it.

Cons: But the SSD is very short-lifed. I installed it in Oct 2016 and it died in July 2018. (That's only 21 months.) There was no way to repair it, and the warranty is only 90 days.

Pros: It was recognized by my system and set to the proper settings.

Cons: It errored out as soon as I tried to partition the hard drive. Drive failure. I am sure glad I wasted money on this paperweight. I should have installed the drive right away but, I waited until it failed. No return for me, it was past the date. Anyway, avoid this drive like the plague.

Pros: Does what it is supposed to do

Cons: none

Pros: This is working great for my first buils

Cons: none

Pros: -runs smooth
-very fast

Cons: -it wasn't free T^T

Pros: Fast SSD for very low price

Cons: 36 000 hours on the drive. More than I expected.
313 000 gb in total host reading, again , a lot more than I expected.
I hope this drive will last a least 2 year.
only sata 2 ??

Pros: Can barely tell the difference in real-world speeds between my Samsung 840 PRO SSD and this one.
S.M.A.R.T shows about 30TB writes and 97% health remaining.

Cons: Benchmarks speeds are terrible compared to modern SSDs (250mb read, 160ish write)

Overall Review: Dualbooting MacOS and WIndows on a Z170XP-SLI i5 6600k build - decided to put windows on the Intel since i dont often use that OS. Boots to the desktop in about 10-15 seconds or so and apps start quickly. Definitely a great way to add life to older computers/HTPCs (and even newer ones with HDDs)
