ORICO 256GB SATA SSD 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive, Read Speed up to 500MB/s, SATA III 6Gbps for Desktop Laptop NAS DIY External Drive - Y20

Very good value drive thats ideal for using as games storage. I am always running out of space as games keep getting larger every year, so it was great to be able to add an extra 1tb of storage to my PC. The speeds are nothing to write home about, but for use as a games drive they are more than sufficient. I have installed Expedition 33 as well as a few multiplayer games and they have all been running flawlessly, with fast load times.The drive itself does feel a little light weight and cheap as its outer case is made from plastic. The screw holes are metal, so the screws won't strip out. The temp is 27c according to HW monitor, so seems to be staying cool despite not having a metal case.

Purchased to use as an external boot / main drive for an old iMac to replace the installed SATA disk.The drive was compatible for my needs, performs well, and is good value.

Always handy to have spares and at these prices why not !

Great for additional storage for your pc. Works great and no additional software required. Just simply plug and play. Speeds are decent too. Averaging around 450-500mbs read and write speeds.

This is a brand that I've only recently become aware of, but the price on these was difficult to ignore, I've got these running full time in my home server, for about 6 months so far, and they have been excellent.Difficult to comment on the longevity, but they do seem to be a decent product and brand

Supplied with a small screwdriver and four screws. I don't think these drives are particularly fast but they are of course a lot faster than a traditional hard disk and should be impervious to phyical damage and have a more extended life.I bought the 128 GB size which gives space to spare with a 64bit version of Windows 10.The price I paid was about £8.50 which is a very good price for the date March 2025

Excellent SSD. No problems and have already copied a library of films and programs and alls good. Using it with an enclosure as an external HD, working well so far.Tip: Using it for that purpose, you need to initialize the HD in the Windows settings after enclosure installation, I forgot to begin with as it's a number of years since I had done it but once I remembered it then worked plug and play, like a normal of the shelf external HD, between PCs.This review is early in usage but am hoping to get good life from it. Looks and feels good quality SSD.

Put one of these in may gaming PC to have more space to install a few more games. Not the fastest drive in the world, but good enough for what I need and plenty of space, making it good value for money in my eyes.Choose based on your own use case (heavy writes or heavy reads), but this suits what I use it for.
