    The hype was real and the price can't be beat
    I have an old HP Envy x360 with AMD FX 7th generation processor and a very slow 5400rpm 1TB disk. Once I upgraded this to Windows 10 several years ago, I really felt the impact of the slow disk during the Windows 10 start up time. Also when multiple applications were accessing disks (such as multiple Windows updates downloading and one is getting installed), the whole laptop came to the grinding halt.I debated purchasing a new laptop, but with already a work system, tablet, and a phone, I did not really want to spend a money in buying a new laptop just to use it once in a while. So, the next option I pursued was to look at upgrading the hard drive.I looked at hybrid disks first but they all seem to come with 5400rpm disk as the main storage, and I had enough of slow disk. When I started to look at SSD's, I read up on all of articles and reviews, and all roads seem to lead to Samsung SSD's for consumer uses. However, Samsung SSD's never seem to go on a sale and they had higher price tags than others.I came across Hynix SSD's by chance. Many of reviewers highly recommended Hynix Gold SSD's after they put Hynix Gold line SSD's against those from Samsung and Micron, and the results were looking pretty convincing. I knew Hynix as high quality memory manufacturer and Hynix Gold 1TB SSD was priced just low enough for me to be tempted. Amazon running a pretty aggressive discount was just an icing on the cake.I placed the Hynix SSD in the external drive case and used the Hynix clone tool (read Macrium) to make a copy of my slow 1TB disk. It went without a hitch in about 2 1/2 hours, and, after few choice swearing words during taking HP Envy apart, I replaced the disk.My work system is high end with SSD, so I am used to the fast boot time. However, when my home system booted up for the first time with the Hynix SSD, it was such a night and day compared to the old 5400rpm disk. I actually thought that I booted up my work system. Once I logged in, I saw the enough lags to realize that I was using my home system. That's right. Hynix SSD can speed up your old system, but it cannot make up for a slow AMD CPU :)I ran few different benchmarks to confirm the numbers many reviewers were seeing. I have included an output from one of tools, but these numbers are pretty consistent across different tools. So,- If you are still running an old magnetic disks (especially those 5400rpm ones) on your laptop, then do yourself a favor and get yourself an SSD.- Hynix SSD seems to have pretty darn good performance number to back up its "gold" label.- With the current Amazon sale, it makes Hynix SSD's cheaper that low performing SSD's from no name vendors.It used to be that spending $100 - $150 to add more memory to your system was the trick to revitalize your old system, and it seems like the new trick is to replace your slow magnetic disks with SSD's. I am ecstatic with the initial performance so far.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best SSD with DRAM value on the market, period
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021
    I've purchased quite a few of these after buying one to initially test as a boot drive. I'm currently using 2 as external storage drives, and 2 as a boot drive and extra internal storage in an old Dell Inspiron 3537. These harddrives have great read and write speeds, and I've yet to have any issues after months and months of use. The price per gb is hard to beat as well. I have not experienced any issues with corrupt data, overheating, inability to mount, etc. They're plenty fast enough to be used as external drives for video editing and using them as a boot drive will breathe new life into that old computer you have laying around collecting dust. I have not tested them in a RAID configuration yet but I dont forsee them having any issues. I will definitely be purchasing more of these in the future.

    I'd also like to touch on a trend I've seen recently where people are swapping out their old HDD's for SSD's, but after price shopping, end up purchasing cheaper DRAM-less SSD's to save a few bucks. There is a lot of good information regarding DRAM available to you should you seek it out, so I won't go into detail, however, I will say that while DRAM-less SSD's will work fine for a while and provide you with the speed you've been looking for (at first), you are not saving money in the long run. You also run the risk of losing data due to a drive failing prematurely, which means backing up your data is twice as important (which means buying yet ANOTHER harddrive for backups. Remember what I said about not saving any money?).

    All of that to say, if you're looking for high end performance, reliability, and longevity, you won't find it cheaper than you will with these SK Hynix Golds. There may be better SSD's on the market from a performance standpoint, but not by much, and certainly not at this price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ASUS K53TAという古いノートPCをWin11化実験するために使ったので、皆様が気になる(いないいない!w)SATA 2接続の速度画像も・・・。
    Reviewed in Japan on May 16, 2022
    マザーはSATA 3対応なのに、BIOSでSATA 2に封印という、古いASUSのノートPC、K53TAを無理やりWindows 11化実験するために搭載してみました。

    計測ソフトはおなじみのCrystalDiskMark。
    うん、SATA 2それなりの速度!w
    でもですね、、、Windowsの起動やアプリの起動速度などは、SATA 3接続したPCと誤差程度で、あまり違いは感じないですね。
    CPUが遅いPCなので、Windows UpdateはCPU側の負荷の問題で、やや遅い感じ。

    本当にPC側がSATA 2で、SSD側がSATA 3なのかの証拠として、
    これもおなじみの、CrystalDiskInfoでSMART値画像を添付しておきました。

    本当は500GBか、1TBモデルを買おうと思いましたが、もう製造してないのか知りませんが「現在在庫切れです。この商品の再入荷予定は立っておりません。」になってるので、250GBモデルを購入。
    Windowsシステム専用程度として使うなら余裕の容量です(空きは概ね、180GBほどです)。
    もしも120GB程度のSSDを使った場合、かなり窮屈です。
    ファイル保存などはUSBメモリなどへ行えばいいし。

    クローンソフトはhynix公式サイトから入手できますが、
    使った感じでは素直に1回でクローンできました。
    目的のパーティションのみ移行可能です。
    使い勝手も良し。

    他にSSD管理ソフトも提供されてますが(画像添付)、
    たいした機能はなく、状態やファームウェアなどを見る程度のソフトです。
    ざっくりと見た感じでは、メインメモリをキャッシュ化したり、オーバープロビジョニングをする機能は見つかりませんでした。
    妙に起動が遅いのが欠点です。
    なお、Windows 11でも作動します。

    TBW値もかなり高い製品なので、それを鵜呑みにすれば、ある程度の過酷な使用条件でも寿命は長めなのではないかと・・・。

    最近のSSD製品は「お菓子のような扱いかっ!w」と言いたくなるようなパッケージングが多いですが、
    この製品はパッケージが豪華でしっかりとしているのと、丁寧な内部の商品梱包なのが好印象。

    まぁ、以上のような普通は行わないような無理やり環境でも普通に使えてますので、
    相性問題も発生しにくいでしょう(科学的根拠のない無責任発言)。
