ORICO 128GB 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

I bought this 2.5 in solid state drive to rejuvenate an older laptop that was almost at its end of life with a failing spinning hard disk. Don't have any misconceptions, this is a value solid state drive and not one that's intended for the highest performance. Still, I've had very good experiences with it for a few months. I put this drive in and did a fresh install of Windows. Since then, it's worked well for some basic web browsing and video chats, and it's even helped Windows 10 not slow to a crawl even with only 4 GB of RAM. That's all I wanted out of it. If you're looking for a no-frills replacement for an older hard drive, this is a reasonable choice. I can't speak to its long-term reliability, but it seems to be going just fine with use a couple of days a week over the past few months.

It’s fine, reformatted for a Mac okay. I’m using it for extrernal backup. Hasn’t had a lot of use and I don’t care about speed.

Works as expected. Can’t beat the price. Replaced an HDD in my old aspire laptop. Works just fine. Plug in and install your OS. Running Manjaro Linux.

It was an easy install and love the brand. I’ve used their hard drives on my other devices when no issues.Definitely worth the price and the reliability seems to be there.

Bought for a truenas server for the boot drive. Working great for months now. Very good buy.

I didn’t run performance tests, but this has freshened up my Xbox one X for some more time! Boot time with this drive is much better than the old hdd, and replacing it was easy.

Purchased for use with my 2008 MacBook for a faster experience. This drive was perfect and performs as expected. Thank you orico for reviving my MacBook.

I bought this 128GB drive to replace an SD Card in a Home Assistant setup. HAOS doesn't really need much space, so I figured that for $10 this would serve as a functional and affordable replacement for an aging and failing card.Attempting to write the image to MacOS returned constant errors that the verification failed - which given this is the same image and drive cable I used to write a backup drive earlier, should not be failing like this. Attemping to write the drive on Linux worked with no errors, but actually attempting to boot the disk on my Raspberry Pi resulted in... pretty much constant boot errors.Hangs, reboots, failures, you name it, it did it.I gave up and kept using the backup drive I was already running.As far as I'm concerned, this should not be considered reliable or stable for any kind of production or even testing use. If it can't handle a simple write and boot operation, then I wouldn't trust it for any possible use.Spend some money on more reliable drive from a known brand. Kensington, Samsung, TEAMGROUP, etc.
