Abstract: Solid state drives have come down significantly in price over the last few years, so it’s now cheaper than ever to upgrade your PC. While 120/128 GiB units offer the best compromise between price and capacity in most cases, some users may opt for a 480...

Available in both 7mm and 5mm thicknesses, Top-end performance on some of our benchmark tests
Higher power consumption than other current-generation SSDs, Merely modest small-file performance, More overprovisioning may lead to longer drive life, but also means less available storage space
Seagate’s first consumer-focused SSD is an admirable effort that delivered very good performance on several of our benchmark tests. Laptop upgraders, however, will want to mind its power consumption at idle, and value hunters will want to weigh this ...
