Dont let the write performance of this value line SSD fool you. If you are wanting to get several more years out of an old laptop or desktop then you likely will not notice the 200MB of write performance missing from this value line drive. Even with the write disadvantage you are still talking about a drive that is 400% - 500% faster than most spinning drives. If you are just surfing the web, working on office documents this drive will be very much noticeably faster than an old spinning drive.
