Easy to install, but vendor's instruction videos were a bit off. Easy to find how to videos on youtube to help with connector installation. Good price, good instructions.

Cons

Failed to power on in imac. Tried connecting ssd externally using sata connectors but nothing worked, seems ssd fully dead. Don't even chance it, not worth anyone's time at all.

After replacing my incredibly sluggish hard drive with a new ssd i feel like i have a brand new computer--for a fraction of the price!
