> 3 dayI installed one of the SATA versions of this last year to upgrade (and downgrade in a way) my 4 year old Dell Inspiron 15-3567 laptop. I say downgrade in a way because I went from a 1TB HDD to a 500GB SSD. So I upgraded the drive but only got half the storage however this was intentional as it is my C drive for the OS and I dont usually use it for storage as long as I have another drive. This turned out to be a small bump in the road until I discovered that I could replace the optical drive with a storage drive with a couple of inexpensive gadgets. I got an external enclosure for the optical drive so that I could still uise it if need be and a caddy for the HDD that was my C drive before the upgrade and everything was plug and play, simple, inexpensive and works. I also added a second RAM module, also made by SK hynix to match the single 8GB OEM module to bring the old beast up to the 16GB max. With the new SSD and 16GB of matched RAM and a couple of other simple and cheap upgrades, this old tank is working faster and better than a newer Dell 15-7586 2 in 1 that I purchased about a year ago. So I ordered another RAM module as this one also has SK hynix OEM, to match the one thats in here to give me 16GB. This one can have 32GB but the prices are just a bit on the high side lately. If they come down, I will upgrade to 32GB but I dont do anything extreme with my laptops so Im sure the 16GB will be more than sufficient for my needs. I also ordered the 1TB PCIe NVMe 2280 SK hynix SSD to replace the 256GB WD OEM PCIe NVMe 2280 cheapo drive thats in here. I will update within the next few days with performance findings but after the experience Ive had with the SATA drive in my older machine, Im quite sure this one will not disappoint

> 3 dayUsed this guy in my GPD Win Max to upgrade storage space and speed. Read 3rd party review on the drive and it looked fast and power-efficient. Computer feels quick and the benchmarks are as advertised.

> 3 daySpeed as advertised. Never went beyond 40c. Heatsink not needed, cant tell whether my stick is black or very dark green but says v3.0. Windows 7 needs a hotfix, I got it from utuber danimationstips, Jan/2021 post. Unfortunately for me, Win7 doesnt boot any faster than my existing sata SSD :( Any Mobo with UEFI should be able to boot. Your Mobo may need a firmware flash, check with your vendor. As usual, your Mobo BIOS should first see it, and then Windows Disk Manager should see it next. The Hynix Disk Manager is not worth much, seem to be written in a hurry and no care for Quality Control, the fonts are on top of each other. Oh, when I use the Hynix as the boot device, my PC will crash at sleep, I had to turn off hibernation (power cfg -H off). I dont use hibernation much but if you do, gotta resolve that issue.

> 3 dayThis SSD is super easy to install, the only problem is that you will need a set of screws, other than that it is an Amazing SSD.
