Replacing the HDD in my Acer One Aspire Netbook with this SSD was the best thing I have done in a long time. The netbook came with Win 7 and was reasonably responsive. Over time I upgraded to Win 10 and performance was terrible. I didn't use it much over time and then last March decided to put Win 7 back. With Microsoft planning to withdraw support for Win 7 next year it was either stay with unsupported Win 7 or figure out how to get Win 10 performance improved. I felt sure the weak link was the HDD so I started searching the internet to see what I would have to do to replace the HDD with a SSD. Other models of the netbook had the bottom panel attached with four screws but my model required removing the keyboard to get to the screws holding the bottom panel. There were several videos showing how to do it and they made it look so simple but releasing the clips holding the keyboard just wasn't working for me. Finally I combined the methods shown in three videos, got aggressive and finally got it released.. That gave me access to four screws holding the bottom panel and once I got it off access to the HDD was easy. I did not order the SSD until I was sure I could get to the HDD. The HDD replacement with the SSD was simple as well as putting things back together. One note - I followed the instructions and released the clamp holding the keyboard ribbon cable so I could set the keyboard aside and not damage the cable. Putting that ribbon cable back aligned so all the keys worked properly turned to to be a slight problem. There isn't much room to position the ribbon properly into it's connector and I had to try three times before all of the keys worked properly. I believe If a person is careful the job can be done without disconnecting the ribbon cable. One other thing to consider is the size of the SSD if you plan to install the OS with a system image restore. I started to get a 240GB SSD which would be plenty large enough for this netbook but I happened to recall that system image restore requires a drive of the same size or larger than the one it was made on. In this case the HDD was 250GB so the 240GB SDD would not have worked with the system image restore. Thus I changed and got this 256GB SSD for the same price.Even tho this netbook's disk controller is stage two at 3Gb/s which impedes the SSD speed of 6Gb/s the performance improvement over the HDD is fantastic. Everything that was a snails pace with Win 10 and the HDD is now exponentially faster. I went through a hefty learning curve figuring mout how to get to the HDD but now that the SSD in in and running I am SO glad I did it. Otherwise this netbook would be on the shelf or in the recycle bin.

Great for refurbishing an old machine you have laying around and sending it out the door with a new lease on life.Used for my nephew's computer I build him for Christmas, with an AMD FX 6300, 8gb of RAM, Asus MA-970 chipset motherboard with garbage ASMedia hard drive controller. It actually sped the thing up nice with a legit copy of Windows 10 (using the Windows 7 key for authorization as it was tied to the motherboard on an OEM license).Nary an issue, works great, and was nice and fast.Great for:Kid's computernon-production machines for net uselight to medium-duty Laptopmachines you are gifting away, to friends, family, or grand-maStorage for media files (get the bigger model, but check prices against more known brands first)Not to great for:Content creation, or other heavy-duty multimedia work like video editing or game design. Get an NVME or high-end sata drive for that, you'll thank yourself later.Saving large pictures when working with 4k or higher, get something like an NVME drive for this again.Conclusion:For all those times when it doesn't pay to spend the extra 10~20$ to get a super-fancy brand, as not everyone needs that nor will notice the difference, these drives fit the bill. I have no complaints and have had a few SP brand drives without any issue. Just go in knowing that, while they're much much faster than any hard drive could ever hope to be, they're not the fastest thing out there, nor will they set any speed records. The top-half of the drive is plastic, vs some other drives that have a complete metal enclosure. The drive does not go fast enough to warrant metal for heat-dissipation, so as not to worry, otherwise it wouldn't be designed this way.This is a solid mainstream drive and is marketed as such. No gimmicks, no run-around.To that end, I got what I paid for, no hassle & no complaints what-so-ever.If your drive gets slow after an unplanned shutdown (as all Hard Drives or SSD's can), please open an Administrator-level command prompt (CTRL+SHIFT+CLICK) and type "CHKDSK /F C:" (provided C: is your SSD), and press enter. If it asks to do it after a restart, press Y and hit enter. Then save your work and restart the machine and wait patiently for a minute or two (or less!) while the machine checks the drive for loose files laying about. The machine will be faster after it auto-restarts upon completion.This holds true for any drive OF ANY BRAND in a modern computer, and is due to the fact that an unplanned shutdown will mark the disk as dirty making the drive double-check where everything is, causing quite a bit of wait time for the CPU, resulting in slower performance and hitching in games or other applications. So write down that command and keep it for later incase the power goes out or the machine locks up or gets slow.--Best of luck and GREAT PRODUCT!
