Bought to upgrade this SSD a several years old 1GHz notebook. The primary objective was to him with shorter charging times of the operating system (Win XP) and to make the programs a little legs. The purchase was fast - the delivery was made within 2 days after order with Amazon. The SSD had (pay attention to alignment!) Easy to install and is now for about 2 months in operation. My expectations have been met: the access times now stands at 0.2 ms instead of earlier 17 ms; the read values in CrystalDiskMark improved by factors of between 2.8 (sequential) and 48 (4k), the write values to the fold between 1.3 (sequentially) to 3.8 (4K QD32). The biggest improvement is thus on reads. The boot time (until availability of Internet connection) has thus from 3:14 min to 1:15 min shortens the loading time of applications fell by half in about. Overall I'm happy with my decision; The notebook is now me about 1-2 years longer do service before it is finally replaced by a new one. In this respect also from a cost perspective, a worthwhile investment. A star deduction in the evaluation visit due to lack of software support the TRIM command under WIN XP, which should be installed on the majority of eligible computers older age. Comparable is Intel standard, however there for SATA connector and in this case no alternative.
