Toshiba Memory America OCZ TR200 Series 2.5" SATA III 240GB Internal Solid State Drive (THN-TR20Z2400U8(CS) 2.5" THN-TR20Z2400U8(CS

been to 5 different country since i installed this HD on my laptop. gotten the laptop wet in Malaysia while traveling to a remote island..I let the laptop dry for 3 days and it WORKED FINE!!!!! Lenovo FTW Read and write speeds are around 420mb/s (speed limited by my older laptop chipset) be warned you need to install the toshiba utility software to enable Over Provision feature under SSD tuner. this feature (6gigs of provision space) increased my boot time by 2minute... now boots in 30sec or so. amazing also has an available firmware update but be warned if do the update it says it will wipe everything. so do the update before you install ur Operating System.FYI I have no issues on the SSD without the update. works fine. update available in the utility tuner software aswell.

I love it! It took a little long the shipping, but it totally worth it. My laptop runs incredibly faster than before (I was about to give up with all the repairs trying to get it faster), but this was the solution. 100% recommend if you have an old computer and don't want to throw it yet.

Pros: Professional reviews indicate this drive is relatively low performing. I've found this often is not accurate because they trust synthetic tests. My test for this drive on Mint 18.3 and a Z270 i5-7400 platform, was to create a 6GB RAM_Disk and transfer 5.5GB of mixed files to the SSD, which used Ext4. The speed was 9 seconds. My best high end drives gave 8 seconds. The boot time from boot menu is 10 seconds to desktop, which is exactly the same as my high dollar SSDs. Shutdown times are the same. The great thing about OCZ/Toshiba drives is the bootable toolbox allowing total independence from Windows. This GUI Toolbox also runs flawlessly on most Linux Distros. As good as they truly are, you don't have to wonder about Smartmon tools or Gsmartcontrol for accurate SMART information, and can do a firmware update online. Trim checked by: [sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep TRIM] Gives "Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks)" but not "Deterministic Zeros after TRIM." Cons: The endurance rating at 60TB is just okay, not impressive. Still, with normal use that's several years of use. These drives Trim time is very slow compared to some other brands. Even with Mint 19x which has enhanced Trim compared to Mint 18x. As an example, a clean install with all updates and 8GB apps, takes 2.2 minutes, with Btrfs as root or Ext4 as root. With normal use and once weekly automatic Trim, the time increases somewhat as weeks go by. Other, (but certainly not all) drives I have with 3D Nand Trim in 10-30 seconds. This drive is the slowest Trimming of all I own or have tested. It is not a deal breaker, but I find it annoying. With Windows 10 these drives Trim rapidly.

The least expensive means of speeding up an old laptop with a benefit of not hearing the old drive looking for data on a hard disk. Would love a new speedier computer but this is fast enough for an old guy who is not pushing the envelope.

Had this drive for about a month and then it just died on me. I have a gaming PC with this ssd for the OS and my documents and a 2tb HDD for my games. Everything worked as normal but then today it just...died. In the middle of opening firefox my computer just froze. I had to hard reset it but once I did I got a message saying no boot device found. I tried all the trouble shooting, even tried to format and wipe the drive with various programs but absolutely nothing worked. Its totally bricked. You can't even format it. Its a shame because I really like toshiba's products. I've had really good experiences with their external drives in the past. Maybe I'm just a rare case, but it still really sucks. I mean, not taking that into account the drive was great. super fast boot times and load times for anything on it. Just a shame it died.

I have been purchasing these and I keep going back to them. Well priced, fast, and reliable. Toshiba invented NAND Flash, so I'm not surprised they work well. I'll be buying more in the future.

OK. Bought this SDD as a bargain, and expected to get something similar to my cheap and slow (write speed) PNYCS900. I am pleasantly surprised that this drive equals my more expensive Sandisk SDSSDA 240G. Data read/write speed is very good with a write throughput of about 60MB/s. The PNY writes the same 6GB file at about 22-27MB/s. Bought this drive on a "flash sale"... should have bought 2. I'll update this review after a few months of use.

Installed this in an old ASUS VivoBook X202E. Intel i3 2365M 1.40GHz, 4GB Ram. I replaced the slow 500GB SATA 3.0Gb HHD with this 240Gb Toshiba OCZ TR200 SSD. Before boot times were at least 4 minutes. 2 1/2 minutes on a fresh Windows install. Now boot times are in mere seconds. Apps load much quicker. And I don't have to deal with any crippling 100% drive loads. With the original 500GB HHD .... I was getting anywhere from 90-101 read speed. With the 240Gb Toshiba OCZ TR200 SSD ....... Now I'm getting 475 read and 110 write It's too soon to tell how reliable this SSD is. For my expensive machines, I'll stick with Samsung or Crucial for piece of mind. I'll probably eventually make this old machine a Chromium book,

Quise probar las bondades de tener un SSD para mi sistema operativo, la planeación previa fue un proceso de mucha paciencia, hacer una copia de respaldo de aplicaciones, documentos, juegos, música y películas. Afortunadamente contaba con un medio para preparar lo que ahora es mi unidad E. Y me asegure de dejar menos de 250gb para poder meter mi sistema operativo con las aplicaciones básicas en este disco duro. Si, deseaba poder comprar algo con más GB, pero mi presupuesto era limitado. Entonces mi opción era elegir un disco como esté de 250gb que te garantiza Calidad y funcionamiento con menos margen de error, o uno de 1TB que costaba igual pero de otra marca que si bien en memorias no es mala, si leí comentarios negativos de ella tanto en amazon como en sitios especializados de que sus discos dejan mucho que desear. Así que no quise arriesgarme y opte por este disco de 250GB. Sin entrar en detalles del proceso de clonación, puedo decir que todo fue fácil, pero eso sí, de paciencia. Y a la primera mi sistema operativo migro a este disco, dejando mi HDD de 4TB exclusivamente para otras cosas. Resultado, desde que la encendía hasta que realmente podía hacer algo en Windows 10, mi PC tardaba unos 3 minutos (un poco más un poco menos), ahora mi pc está completamente disponible a los 30 segundos desde que oprimo power. Pros '+Excelente calidad '+Rendimiento excepcional Neutral <>NO incluye cables ni accesorios

I've now bought, perhaps, fifteen of these, installing them in Windows laptops and desktops and, this week, in an iMac 21.5in (late 2012). The drive is as fast as the specs claim and just seem to feel better to me - I've not had the glitches I've felt were happening with some other big-name equivalents (excepting Samsung Pro models which have always peformed beautifully for me - at a price). Update - 09-02-20 Probably bought a further 20 since my initial review - and bought four more today because the price has jumped up by a fiver, seemingly because the product is going end of life. Pity, unless Toshiba replaces it with something better at a comparable price.

Habe die SSD in ein 7 Jahre altes I-Core 3 Notebook eingebaut. Sie wurde ohne Probleme erkannt und die Performance des alten Teiles mach wieder richtig Spaß. Habe die SSD für 29€ gekauft mit 240 GB. Für diesen Preis bekommt einen schnellen und guten Ersatz für sein Notebook.

Prodotto ottimo. Arrivato nei tempi previsti e le prestazioni sono esattamente quelle che mi aspettavo. Dopo 2 mesi di utilizzo niente da riportare se non che ora il portatile è meglio di quando l'ho acquistato. Il prezzo di questo ssd è irrisorio per la qualità che ha. Facile da montare, io ho sostituito il dvd con l'apposito alloggiamento trovato qui a 9€ (meglio nn risparmiare troppo per le cose che metti dentro al pc). Unica pecca, non ha un software dedicato per clonare il sistema operativo il che rende la procedura più lenta perché bisogna trovare un software che faccia al caso nostro... ma niente di grave o trascendentale. Si può fare. Sul sito della Toshiba si può trovare in ogni caso il software dedicato per le gestione dell'ssd stesso, ed è assurdo che tale software non possa fare la clonazione. Ma questo è... in ogni caso, ribadisco ottimo!

Fast and stable ssd, no issues encountered in setting up Win10 OS.
