My Acer Aspire V3 771G came with an INTEL SSD 120GB which I already replaced twice in 5 years. This time I decided to go with a bigger capacity and also try the PRO version of the samsung.
Satisfaction cannot describe how
I feel. It is a performance shock. Since the 100GB was not enough to have both windows, applicaiton and my files I was using the HD for most of the work. Also my experience with the intel SSD was that the more you use it the faster it breaks.
I have now on the 500GB SSD moved everything Windows, 3rd party applications, my home directory and I even run 4 Virtualbox VMs: pfsense, FreeBSD 11.1 with jails, Windows 10, Nas4Free and the io on the SSD is never above 2%.
The VMs were always crawling but now they run superfast like running directly on the HD without virtualization.
I have only used this drive for a few weeks and I do not know how long it will last but its performance is amazing. It comes with a 10 year warantee so I guess its much better than the 2 year on intel.
