This SSD was installed, along with a RAM upgrade, in a Sony Vaio laptop from the decade, which belongs to my mother. The installation was done by a well-known store in the center of Athens.
This particular machine had a mechanical-magnetic hard disk drive (HDD) from Samsung, model ST500LM012, with a capacity of 500GB.
After 9 years of mild, non-daily use for typing and internet browsing, it gave up.
To cut a long story short, after the SSD, GP-GSTFS31240GNTD, was installed and Windows 10 Home was installed, the machine literally flies! It opens all programs and is ready to use in less than a minute and a half.
With the old hard disk drive, my mom had to wait for over 4-5 minutes for the minimum software she used to load.
This led my sister and then me to buy our first SSD. I installed it myself in my old desktop PC.
The SSD, GP-GSTFS31240GNTD, has a 3-year warranty. It may not be the fastest based on its specifications, but in terms of quality and high performance, especially at such a low price, it is definitely worth the money and more.
Gigabyte is one of the top and most long-lasting manufacturing companies from technologically advanced Taiwan, China.
Its design is very beautiful.
I didn't use any speed measuring program for this disk because, from what I read, it can be dangerous for the health of my mother's old system.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the SSD, GP-GSTFS31240GNTD. It is fast, reliable, economical, and beautiful. It can easily boost the performance of an aging laptop. Enjoy it!
