Gamerking SSD msata 500GB Internal Solid State Drive High Performance Hard Drive for Desktop Laptop SATA3 6Gb/s Mini PC(500GB, Msata)

Great product just a thought for those buying one you're going to need a couple of very very small screws, No complaint to the manufacturer but I'm sure someone has bought this and not been able to mount it because they couldn't find a screw small enough . . . just a thought!

Slipped right into the SATA III adapter and recognized by my system. Partitioned and formated easily. Good speeds. Will check OS BOOT later this week. I am confident I will be very happy with the results.

it works

Three month in and so far so good. It’s my boot drive and it has breathed new life into my laptop.

Replaced my old small mSata to increase laptop storage. Good value.

[Update June 2020]My original review was based on using this SSD as the primary drive, and for this my review still stands. This drive is not up to the task as a daily driver running core operating system and installed software.Since I'm well past the return, I continued to use the GK as a secondary drive until I can get a solid performing mSata. Basically it's used to store large 40GB+ games (steam, ubi, etc), virtual machines and other storage hungry software : NOTE I do not use this to store videos, pictures or audio/music. So, all things considered, it has acceptable enough performance, and the computer's overall experience is not degraded with exception to a few case scenarios. To practice CyberSecurity I run a variety of VMs and build a test lab of sorts on my one laptop. While this drive stores the VMs it's way too slow creating virtual disks (and I'm only building 32G drives), so what I do is build/clone the vm on one of my faster drives and then copy it all over to the GK - this saves me at least 45-min compared to building on the GK.[Original Review]SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy something reputable.I bought this for my gaming laptop that came with two drives installed: 128GB Liteonit SSD for the Operating System and 1TB HGST Travelstar 7k1000 for everything else.We all know 128GB is too small these days, Windows takes up 40GB on a fresh install and games these days are 30-40GB. I figured with a 500GB SSD I can run windows and install games on the same disk instead of saving & loading everything from the secondary drive because games took a long time to load.Unboxing the "GamerKing" SSD was my first warning and cause for return because this SSD is infact a "DOGFISH" SSD with a GamerKing sticker. But, I was traveling for work and the difference between Dogfish and Gamerking was a toss-up -- I just happened to add the Gamerking to my cart. This was in September 2019. Windows and UEFI (BIOS) Read a DOGFISH SSH TOO for what its worth.I'm still traveling and it is now April 2020 and as I use my laptop more and more I am really noticing how slow AF my laptop is running. I click a button, icon on the desk and the computer just sits there for 10 seconds or more..Sometimes I keep clicking in frustration. Happens when browsing the Internet and not running anything else and was getting down to my last nerve. I clean out the laptop, blow out all the dust. I have fresh installed Windows four times and after going through all the Feature updates ... same thing. I'm checking the CPU utilization, memory utilization, everything. SO then I download userbenchmark and run to see what the hell this computer is doing..The whole problem is this lousy GAMERKING SSD!@#$ Are you kidding me? ITs performance is on par with a standard 5400rpm drive! Holy cow. So I think, well maybe it's because I'm using it as my main SSD. I load up Windows Install Disk, delete every volume/partition on both SSDs, and reinstall Windows on my old 128GB Liteonit.Same test, different results. Liteon and Gamerking are on the same bus - a dual stack MSATA connection.

Worked for me and has a great speed. Will buy it again.
