Pros & Cons
Pros
Ish gig internally is all you need.
Cons
Rma'd it to sandisk, who replaced or repaired it and returned it to me. Warranty is questionable as they will not honor unless you save the original receipt.
The drive suffered from access errors, slowdowns and stuttering. It seems i have a faulty drive. I was eventually forced to manually break the array and run the remaining good disk without raid.

Price
Cool, a new computer for less than $100!
It is nice to have this ssd at this price range.
These sata harddisks prices recently rised a lot.
Cheap drive name brand perfect for reviving old computers and laptops.
Shipping
Works great ships fast good seller what more can i say
Seller did a great job in shipping the item fast and the price was pretty reasonable.
My laptop originally shipped with a 5400rpm 1tb hard drive.
Packaging/appearance
This is the second ssd i bought, and i honestly thought i was scammed into buying an empty plastic box.
Competitiveness
I think ultra-alpha or ultra-beta or ultra-starpower or almost any other name would have been better.
The price is what really got me to order this product as well as san disk reputation.
