One word: Incredible!
by aputech on February 14, 2013
Pros: Easy to install; mirroring software is intuitive and thorough--no guesswork! Also, the SSD is a screamer! I'm floored by how fast its read and seek times are (did I say 'Incredible?').
Cons: Aside from wishing SSDs cost less than they do? No cons that I could find.
Summary: If you're looking for a solid value, lightning-like performance, and ease-of-installation in an SSD, the Transcend SSD720 64GB is an excellent first-SSD! You will not be disappointed.
