What customers say about "Key Specs"

Kingston V300 120GB Solid State Drive

Performs very fast, improving both boot times and application opening times.
Any laptop a couple of years old will gain a lot of speed if you swap out the existing hard drive for one of these.
It all works well, with a very noticeable speed performance over my HDD.
Huge improvement on speed as you would expect and as i'm not a power user this drive is perfect for my needs.
The speed performance of these drives is pretty poor.

Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive

Install was easy and the write/read speed were very close to advertised speed.
It has read speeds of around 540 Mbps and will greatly improve you system speed. I have had users ask me what I done to their computers because it is so fast now.
The drive has great read and write speeds. The drive also fits within the drive bay as it should.
Reading/writing speed increased considerably for all my programs. I highly recommend.
This really gave my old PC a boost as far as speed and storage capacity.

What customers say about "Features"

Kingston V300 120GB Solid State Drive

Improve battery life on laptops and also because it has no moving parts it it isn't vulnerable to damage from knocks and bumps.
Probably one of the best upgrades to a laptop computer is converting and installing a Solid State Drive.
Easy to install and really fast to load windows 10.
Set up easily, no complaints during installation or use.
My only wish is that Kingston would create their own migration software, like samsung magician, rather than using acronis.

Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive

Uses normal SATA III interface and was recognized by computer with no problem.
If your system supports SATA 3 only, you won't be disappointed with this; I personally bought a few, and never had an issue with any of them.
Very fast SSD and offers 256-bit encryption, I cannot find a better SSD than this one.
The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps my data private.
No reduction in start-up time. Still takes about 20-ish seconds. Not bad, but I don't understand why there isn't at least a little improvement.
