I’m using core2Duo system OS-7 64 bit. Before using transcend SSD my boot time is approx 1 Mint. After installing this Transcend SSD System boot aprox. 18 Sec. Now I’m using so many application at a time like Photo editing, Coping, playing Game But it work so smoothly. Transcend product price is high compare to any other brand, but it is my fist choice. HDD is so important in Computer because if it crash Your whole DATA will lost. So I blindly believe in Transcend Product. And if you purchase any Transcend product don’t forget to verify whether You get Original product or not by its serial no. . Check product originality in Transcend website

Product is a 500GB SSD NOT a 1TB SSD as described in the description. The actual size of the SSD is listed under colour in the item details. I have reported incorrect product information but Amazon has failed to take action.

This SSD comes with a cache. Cost only a few bucks more. Is lightweight. From a good manufacturer. Good for use for people who do not have huge data requirements. It can be used for keeping OS and programs for faster boot and execution and rest of data on normal rotary hard disks. Overall, system speeds up considerably.

I got the 256GB model.
The Good: It’s fast, definite improvement over standard hard disks. Win7 starts in 7secs or so. My laptop doesn’t have a SATA III interface, luckily this SSD is compatible with SATA II, so it works for my uses. However due to my own system limitations I’m unable to take full advantage of this SSD. The software provided by Transcend online is useful to monitor the SSD health as well as for erasing all data.
The Bad: I checked the warranty online, it showed active from the time of manufacture rather than the time of purchase. So mine isn’t exactly 5yr warranty but 4yrs & some months due to the unit being manufactured in ~Oct 2019 or so.
Anyways not a deal breaker so far. I did a fresh install if win7 rather than cloning it from my old harddisk. I didn’t create partitions, just used the whole drive for C:
I also ordered the Kingston KC600 SSD, using that one in my mom’s laptop for same purpose as above. In comparison, I didn’t notice a difference in performance as such.

The media could not be loaded.
 I liked the ssd till now but not satisfied by the build quality of it. The metal used is good but not good enough. It is flimsy and it qould be as it is made to work as an internal ssd. In the video, I have shown how it sounds. I will add its performance test when I get a the usb connector that I ordered. All in all, it seems to be a good one. Got it for ₹3045. If using it externally, like me, then please also buy a cover. I will buy it later but for now its awesome. Edit: It got blazing fast speeds of 409 MB/s reads with 361MB/s writes. You might think that these are not good enough compared to other drives. You are true but this I used externally with a sata 3 to usb 3 connector. That brought some bottleneck to its performance. I am sure that it will give me speeds of upto 525+ MB/s if used internally with 450+MB/s of write speeds.
