acer SA100 960GB 2.5 Inch SSD SATA III Internal SSD Solid State Drive, 560MB/s Read, 3D NAND Flash Memory, SATA III 6 GB/s Interface

I put it in one of my old laptops with 2 partitions and dual boots., one for Windows 10 and the other one for Zorin core. They all work well.

A Really Good Item:.....OK This Drive Was Bought To Replace An Earlier Drive That Died!.....Now I am 'No Stranger' to SSD Drives as I had San Disk Models both in my New LaptopAnd now also until it went out in my Dell Desktop!.....As i was looking over possible replacements i felt some disappointment that the Earlier drive had went out after just 3 years.So i thought perhaps i was better off to try a different make as i admit as a Writer and Published Author I'm demanding in my needs and truly i spend a LOT of time on the computer !.....So i surfed and checked out Different Models but for one reason or another the drives I saw weren't what i needed, Or were way too pricey.etc!!!!!.So here on Amazon I spotted the ACER drive and i was instantly interested as.....It was just UNDER 1000gig.It wasn't too large!.And the price was really reasonable!.....See the Drive i had was a 500 and i wanted/needed a bigger drive but many of the newer drives were over 1000 and id read where some computers had trouble recognizing them.So this Drive definitely fit the bill!..Plus i had Acer Products before, As the Best Laptop I'd ever owned was an ACER and it was top quality!.Frankly I didn't know they made Solid State Drives, But knowing their quality I was instantly interested.LIKES:Famed and Reliable Brand!.Just The Right Size.A Really Good Price.It Met The Need!.Fast Amazon Shipping Is Always A Winner!.DISLIKES:Nothing Major!...Just Wished i Knew They Made SSD Before!.Nothing much left to tell as Installation in Modern Computers is largely Plug and Play!.I just slipped it in the vacant slot ,And 2 small screws held it firmly!.All i really had to do was pop in my Operating Disk and install the O.S. System and i was good to go!.Installation went perfectly, My Computer instantly recognized the New Drive and i was up and running!.TO CLOSE:Acer makes a good product!.And Amazon has the best goodies!.Nuff Said:IndianaED

I replaced an HDD for this SSD and the result was fantastic. If I new it would work like that, I would have that replaced 2 years ago. The computer starts and log in with less than 20sec

My original drive was failing, bought this as a replacement. Price was reasonable, installed easily into the laptop and so far I am happy with its performance.

Not Ideal, but not bad. Read full review to grasp the situation, not only the first sentence.Inicial thoughtsWell usually I expect close to 500 speed on good SSDs and somewhat 420-ish on the Lower side. but 350 is maximum i get, and 280 is the lowest.We know all Drives drop their speed at some point, when it is half full, or 80% full and etc. minimum speed dropped to 120-ish on 80% full. Read speed, however, is consistent, for example you want to use this as steam drive or something, it will work fine as you only need read speeds.on real time environment, while moving files speeds are fluctuating. Average speed is around 320-ish, while in some cases drops to 280 and goins up to 400-ish.Final conclusion - not bad, but not too good either. For example, this drive would be good for software, games (steam drive) and in workflow. But not reccomend this drive as main OS drive.

I bought this SATA SSD as I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK Slim Laptop for my wife, but she found the 128 GB of storage too small for all her pictures and videos. I purchased this Acer SA100 960GB SATA III 2.5 Inch Internal SSD to give her over a 1TB of combined storage space. Acer conveniently has an unused extra internal bay and includes pre-installed connectors to the main board making installation very easy. If it’s your first time, like me, don’t worry, it’s really pretty easy. Find some of the good videos that are out there and follow along. There are, however, a few things you need to know. The enclosed documentation is of no value for installation, which makes sense as this drive can be used in multiple devices so they couldn't possibly cover them all. Apparently, there are a few different ways Acer set up the extra bay that may not exactly match the videos you might find. For example, you want to disconnect the battery first thing after getting the back off the laptop. The connector type shown in one of the videos did not exactly match the connector on my laptop, but I was able to figure it out. Additionally, the videos showed that you had to connect the cable to the main board and the other to an additional connector and attach it to the SATA drive. In my laptop, the cable was already connected to the main board, and the connector for the SATA drive was already on the other end, so all I had to do was push the connector into the SATA drive and mount it. The connector only attaches one way, so look at the connector and it will be obvious how it had to be oriented to fully engage to the drive. It comes with 4 screws to mount the drive to the bracket and you use the screws you took out to remove the bracket to put it back in. It will only mount one way, so be careful to reinstall it with the same orientation it was when you removed it.One other issue I ran into was that videos said as soon as it’s powered up, it will recognize the new drive and it will be available, or, it never mentioned first power up at all. At first, I thought I had incorrectly installed the drive, or something was defective, so I called a PC expert friend, and he told me I needed to go to “Computer Management”, then “Disk Management” to initialize the drive. I did that, saw the new drive as “Disk 0”. I right clicked on the drive, selected “New simple Volume” and followed the prompts to name the drive volume.(see pictures). I now see the new drive in File Explorer and it works fine and my wife can store about 41,000 pictures on her new laptop.

Good Product, Good delivery time, As Described in the description.
