Defective product and deceptive sell
My device stoped working, lost My data.
I think they make good revenue from data recovery services. they are manufacturing and selling defective SSDs at lower prices so that they can earn by selling data recovery services.

Works well.
Works well. The only qualm I have is that I needed to buy an extra cord to use it w/out having to open up my computer. Overall though, it works well. It's nice and compact so it doesn't take up space.

Improved old laptop
I have an old laptop that I hadn’t used in a very long time because it was running too slow. This was easy enough to install without experience and made a huge difference in the speed of my laptop. I noticed the laptop sounded much more quiet after this was installed. I highly recommend if you want to renew an older laptop.

So far…so good…
Received this on behalf of Influenster in November and installed it the same week. Immediately I appreciated faster booting, faster opening of apps, and faster editing of photos. I have been so pleased with it so far…but I feel like I am waiting with bated breath for it to possibly fail based on reviews I’ve read from others. But! I am cautiously optimistic! So far- so ...

The Western Digital Solid State Drive was very easy to configure. Works exactly as advertised, and provides fast file transfer freeing up space on my computer helping my computer to run a bit faster. So far, one of my favorite things Influenster has gifted to me.

From Snail Pace to Instantaneous Delight
I recently installed the Western Digital 250GB SSD in my aging laptop and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! My laptop used to boot up at a snail's pace and loading times were agonizingly slow. But now, with the SSD, everything feels zippy and responsive. Windows boots up in seconds, applications launch instantly, and even opening large files is a breeze. The pe...
