Old Geezer
5.0 out of 5 starsNice 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars120-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.
You Have Been Warned.

4.0 out of 5 starsJust what I need!
April 12, 2019
Capacity: S200 60GBVerified Purchase
Lately, SSD storage is fast, and reliable, and big enough.
If you're not a software or file hoarder, this disk will provide sufficient space to host Windows, and some additional programs.

It's also fast enough, boot times of games and operating systems are low, which is what you want.
Any faster and it wouldn't really make any difference (can you feel a computer being faster when load times decrease by 10% from 11 seconds to 10 seconds, or from 3 seconds to 2,8?
No.
This disk is cheap enough, and does whatever I need it to do.
Is energy efficient as well!

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat on a budget SSD
June 18, 2017
Capacity: 120GBVerified Purchase
Stuck this SSD in a coworker's budget mITX build and honestly, for the price I was impressed. Boot times are very quick, responsiveness is great, even with the lowly Pentium G4600 to run it (and using the integrated graphics). Coupled it with a WD Blue 1TB for storage and it's hard to beat at the price paid. Didn't go testing speeds or anything as it's a leap over a mechanical drive any day which is why it was purchased in the first place. I wouldn't expect Samsung 960 EVO/PRO speeds anyway, but it'd be perfect for a laptop uprgrade or any budget OS drive in my opinion.

Don't know about longevity, but I'm sure I'll hear from him if it dies, so unless this review is edited in the future, consider this a good experience overall.

I do wish it had come with a cable, or at least a conversion kit to 3.5" bay but those aren't really necessary inclusions and any modern case will have screws and a 2.5" bay to put this in that come standard.

4.0 out of 5 starsPull the trigger, looks good!
October 24, 2018
Capacity: 240GBVerified Purchase
Never used this brand before so I dont know about reliability, But price is GREAT and product seems solid. Metal enclosure not plastic. See photos of the chips and speeds attached. This is a good speed for SATA based SSD BUT SLIGHTLY under advertised speed (that is not uncommon) ! VERY VERY Stable - Most drives bounce around alot when doing a speed test. I will sell them to my customers!!

4.0 out of 5 starsWorks great for a budget ssd.
August 10, 2018
Capacity: S200 60GBVerified Purchase
Great for the money however I purchased the 60 gig just for the OS. It's worth it to spend a little extra for a larger drive. I'm only giving 4 stars because when I installed the drive, the BIOS could see the drive but due to the way it was formatted when I received it, I couldn't install Windows 7 or 10. I had to format it (NTFS) before I could image it. Even with that being said, I will still be purchasing a few more.

4.0 out of 5 starsWorks fine, no surprises
September 5, 2016
Capacity: 120GBVerified Purchase
Works fine, no surprises. I use it in an older machine, made it as fast as could be hoped for an old processor and anemic memory (only 4 G supported by mobo).

I got it last December 2016, Unfortunately it works no more....I used in a little used machine I had not accessed for last 3 months or so, this weekend -august 2017 would not boot at all, drive is no longer seen. I tried in my regular system and 0, zilch, dead as a door nail.

The SSD came in a simple box with a data cord and sort of business card. No instructions were included. Just a reminder, my model had a 500 in it but the actual size is 480GB

If they improve in the storage controller algorithm to optimize performance during various disk intensive workloads, then this would be my most fav. Item
