Nice economy SSD.
December 13, 2015
I bought this economy SSD so that I would have a spare SSD. My roommate was finding her laptop (used only for travel) a little old and arthritic, even though we had maxed out the memory, so, I used this drive to replace a WD 2.5" 5400 rpm in her computer. Suddenly her laptop is no longer a travel only make do, but, with the SSD it is now the easy near equal of her desktop tower.
I used an Acronis USB to SATA adapter I had, and EasyGig IV that I have had for several years. In about 40 minutes the WD had been cloned onto the KingDian and about 15 minutes later a fully functional, much smoother operating laptop was ready to go. The cloning went without a hitch, the OS (Win7, 64 bit) has been operating flawlessly for about a week now. I am encouraged by a smart drive utility that tells me the disk is functioning smoothly, and is estimated to continue so until about 2024 (assuming certain drive parameters.)
I am very pleased with this drive, and intend to keep one or two of these around for grins and giggles. I will update should anything averse happen, but assuming nothing further, my December of 2015 review will stand.

120-GB &128-GB KingDian Drives Dead In 2 Years
June 13, 2019
I nought 3 of these low-grade drives back in 2017, and the last one just died!
The 128-GB versions were installed into a Dell Desktop and a Gigabyte System,
the third one that just died was installed into a Dell Lattitude D620 Laptop.
2 Years and a 100% failure rate. No Way would I ever trust these SSD's nor would
I recommend them to anyone. Seriously - - - - - - - - - - - SSD's have dropped to the point
where you can buy a name brand drive like ADATA, Crucial, Kingston, SanDisk etc. for 5 bucks
more and you will get something that is many times more reliable, and will last.

Worked great for a week or so. Installed CloudReady (Chromium OS, like Chrome OS on Chromebooks) and Ubuntu (Linux OS) and both were very fast. When computer wouldn't boot properly, I turned the computer off by holding down the laptop power button until it shut off. After that it wouldn't boot and the computer won't detect this SSD drive anymore. Tried to reinstall numerous OSs but none would even detect the SSD. I even tried it in 2 different laptops but neither would detect the SSD. Should I return for exchange or is there a way to repair the disk?

I got this SSD in July, 2017. At first, it was a significant improvement over my spinning hard drive. Now five months later, the performance has degraded significantly. So much so that I have replaced the SSD with my old spinning hard drive. The performance is not quite good compared to the SSD. I ran the trim feature and even and SSD optimization program and defrag program. Nothing helped. I do not recommend this drive, except to have as an external backup.

Almost 1/3 of the drives I purchased failed within the first few months. The price was a bit too good to be true...

great price, fast drive- but ordered two and one died without warning after 3 weeks of use (can't recover data, and can't reformat). now worried about second drive...
