Mushkin REACTOR 1TB Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2.5 Inch SATA III 6Gb/s MLC 7mm MKNSSDRE1TB,Black

When one of our laptops began getting drive errors, it was clear we were on borrowed time. After looking around at the options, I decided that an SSD was the way to go, both for speed and reliability, but also to add some additional life to an older Lenovo laptop. I read a lot of the reviews on Amazon, but quickly found that just about every SSD had great reviews. Tech comparison tests weren't that much help either, since even the slowest SSD beats the daylights out of a fastest HDD. So, I ultimately turned to a UserBenchmark site and studied the SSDs for performance and price. The Mushkin Reactor looked to me to be the best combo of performance on a budget; using the latest MLC flash memory and a high-quality controller.This computer runs my wife's business and the HDD had failed with barely a whimper. Every computer comes apart a little differently, but for me the installation went very quickly and smoothly. The Lenovo Z575 laptop recognized the drive immediately and I set about to making a clean install of Windows and restoring her files from the network backup drive. After about 5 months of daily operation (so far), everything works great. The computer starts up so much faster with the SSD, and it runs quite a lot longer on the battery. Neither of us is a high-power user, and there may be better drives for gaming or workstation use. For our needs though, this was a great purchase. Happy wife, happy life!

After reading lots and lots of reviews, I chose to go with Mushkin brand. Made in USA, reliable (based on reviews), and very well priced. I used this in a mid-2011 iMac to replace a failing hard disk, and so far it's working beautifully - and it's SO much faster than my factory HD. I do windows software development, and previously had to use bootcamp in order to get decent performance, but since putting this in I've been booting into Windows (10) using just Parallels, and the performance is better than bootcamp was with the factory HD.Here's a list of the items I uses, as well as the tutorial I followed...Items used:1.  Newer Technology AdaptaDrive 2.5" to 3.5" Drive Converter Bracket. 2.  Jackly 45-in-One Mobile Phone Screwdriver Set (JK-6089) (JK6089-C) 3. A 2.5 in, 7mm thick SSD (I used  Mushkin MKNSSDRE1TB Reactor 1TB SATA III 6Gb 2.5inch SSD )4. This cable (so the fans in the 2011 iMac won't run at full speed all the time):  OWC In-line Digital Thermal Sensor for iMac 2011 Hard Drive Upgrade 5. I used an old credit card with one short edge "sharpened" to get the glass off, but you could purchase suction cups like  Heavy Duty Suction Cup for Mac Screen Repair  or similar. Some people just use guitar picks.6. Spudger or some type of plastic or wood tool to unplug the very small cables. I already had a set of dental picks I used.Tutorial: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2429+Hard+Drive+Replacement/7555

I bought this about 18 months ago to replace a 512g drive for gaming, but did not get round to actually making the switch, so it sat mostly idle for about a year, storing media files and ISO images. Seemed to be fast, and price was right at the time.Last month, after a moderate amount of LIGHT usage, it suddenly stopped responding, triggered a reboot, and became unrecognizable. Lost some work due to spontaneous reboot, and of course lost the files on it.Now if plugged in to a power supply it triggers the short circuit protection and causes a power cycle.I've submitted an RMA request, we shall see what happens with that.Last drive I had that failed this spectacularly was an OCZ, and we know what happened to them. Hopefully Mushkin isn't that bad. We shall see.

Not much to say, great price, great performance. I first found this SSD on userbench by sorting by value. It was pretty close to the top, so I thought I'd check it out. I suggest you get this SSD for two reasons: unlike cheaper drives, this drive's performance doesn't drop over long writes (AKA, it doesn't have a cache to fake faster speeds) and even though it's slightly slower than a Samsung drive, it's not slower by any amount a normal user would notice. I saved ~$70 by getting this instead of a Samsung 1TB drive, and I'm very happy with what I got. Benchmark wise, the only number you'll see a significant difference in is the 4k random read.I attached an AS SSD benchmark, but it's worth noting that I ran the benchmark while running my OS off the drive, so the theoretical performance is technically higher.MLC + great controller = very good SSD for a very good price.

Funciona muy bien el disco pero el precio es elevado y la velocidad de lectura/escritura es inferior al del Crucial o Western Digital que son más económicos. Recomiendo más el Western Digital son los más rápidos en su tipo que puedes encontrar en toda Amazon México, yo vendí los Mushkin y adquirí varios WD.

This one has proven faster than my Crucial SSD, even it was brand new.

Can't complain about it. I think my Patriot Pyro 256gb system ssd is slightly faster but can't complain about a 1TB ssd for my games storage. Still 10x faster than a HDD. Got it 45% off too which made it twice as attractive!

Un SSD sicuramente meno conosciuto e popolare di concorrenti quali  Samsung  ma che ha assolutamente nulla da invidiare in termini di qualità e prestazioni.Si può impiegare ad ogni livello con un sicuro riscontro positivo da parte dell'utilizzatore. Samsung

Habe die SSD als Ersatz für meine 1TB Notebook Festplatte gekauft. Diese war der Flaschenhals in meinem I7 System.Die Festplatte ist in einem ultraleichten und robusten Aluminiumgehäuse verschraubt untergebracht.Da ich keine Software fand, die eine Festplatte bootfähig klonen kann und auch UEFI BIOS unterstützt,habe ich die alte Festplatte mittels der kostenpflichtigen (15€) "Paragon Migrate OS to SSD" Software, welche das kopieren direkt unter Windows erledigt.Dabei wird auch das neue UEFI BIOS unterstützt und automatisch auf der neuen Platte eingerichtet, wenn man das Häckchen setzt.Kann diese Software nur weiterempfehlen. Völlig problemlos.Nach rund 3 Stunden Kopiervorgang war die neue Festplatte startklar, mit einem deutlichen, SSD typischen Performancevorteil:Bootvorgang 20sec vorher 55secDatenrate lesen bis 280Mbyte vorher 80MbyteDie Akkulaufzeit hat sich um ca. 15% verlängert, das Notebook ist nun absolut lautlos und kühl, solange der Lüfter sich nicht hinzuschalten muss.Details siehe Bilder von der Testsoftware crystaldiskbench
