I upgraded 3 of my laptops with the Toshiba Q Series Pro HDTS325XZSTA solid state drive and it is fast...boots up in seconds and applications launch within a minute. The only thing you need to know is how to copy your old system drive to you new drive...Acronis Software helps.

Replaced a 500GB 5400 spin drive on G7 HP PC ... the Toshiba cloning software (link provided for download) was flawless and straight forward. Nice upgrade, significantly faster boot and disk access times. Other models in stock were 240 GB, the Toshiba was $256 for ~ same price.

used it on my old MacBook Pro and it works great...my laptop runs much much faster now

The drive is excellent and fast. No complaints, and lives up to the hype. The only downside I found was that it didn't come with any SSD management software, and had to really dig around until I found some undocumented software on the Toshiba website. Also, some of the features are disabled most likely because I'm running Windows 10 now... But other than that, the drive works extremely well!

Had trouble installing Win10 tech preview with Samsung 256 drive on my ASUS P6T motherboard. Kept losing drive during install, Purchased this drive to replace it, and it operated smoothly out of the box. Drive performance is as good as my 128G corsair SSD drive too.

I bought one of these as an upgrade for my laptop hard drive. I replaced the drive and reinstalled everything and now my laptop works better than ever. I recommend this as an upgrade for any PC as its performance will far exceed any mechanical hard drive.

I use my 1tb conventional hard drive as storage and the Toshiba Q-series SSD as my boot drive with Windows 7 OS and all my other programs. Appears to be over 50% faster to boot and load programs. I would expect it to be even faster with Windows 8.1.

Toshiba is one of the remaining leading contenders in the FLASH memory business which is core to SSDs. They have excellent quality control for their components as well as for the finished assemblies. The 256GB SSD at $99 is very good value.

It's faults. It performs extremely well in every day task including office applications as well as a bit of light gaming. Haven't used the optical drive on it but hey, it's there. Battery life is decent but not what I would have hoped for at this price point. The over all build is fantastic. Feels solid in your hand. Seems like it should be able to take a beating as well. The laptop gets hot when gaming, however, it does a good job of pushing that heat out the back in the hindge area and not near your palm rest. I love that the bottom is solid and that it doesn't intake air from there. In my opinion, asus could have done away with the speaker and disc drive in favor of a couple more gigs of ram and a solid state drive. They Would have a very hard to beat laptop that already stands out in the line up

It comes with super easy clone software. It fits in Toshiba laptop (and other) 2.5" SATA slit perfectly. Noticeable difference in performance compared to 7200RPM traditional HDD.

Before I bought this ssd I would leave my computer on because my 7200 rpm hdd would take forever to boot up. But now I turn it off when not in use because this Toshiba - Q Series Pro 256GB Internal Serial ssd boots up in a matter of seconds.

In my experience a SSD is hands down the best upgrade you give to your laptop. I have done this upgrade in two laptops in the past year and both have had great results. This Toshiba Q Series make the install simple and quick.

Excellent price and great performance. After my hard drive failed I needed an SSD and this one happened to be at the right price, and it boosted the performance of my old notebook that was getting quite slow and annoying.

Read product reviews and decided to purchase the same from the Best Buy online, product was shipped and delivered on time, and installation was easy. Did a clean install of Windows 10 and have had no problems thus far

I bought this for my wife's mid-2011 13" Macbook Pro and it made night and day difference. Matter of fact - it is probably now faster than my 2013 Air, so it definitely added life into the old laptop. Highly recommended!

I was replacing an old IBM Thinkpad drive so my daughter could use it for school. Speed is great. Price was fine. My daughter most large items in the cloud so the space was reasonable for the price.

I decided to upgrade one of my desktop PCs with a new motherboard, processor and memory. I purchased them online. As an afterthought, I decided to upgrade also to an SSD. The Toshiba SSD seems almost as fast as my Samsung SSDs. Samsung SSDs were not available locally when I need one so I went with the Toshiba.

I replaced my Toshiba HD with this 256gb SSD for the sole purpose of speeding up my computer overall. Installation was easy, build seemed strong. After cloning my HD to the SSD and installing it, my computer ran perfectly without a problem. It just started MUCH faster and ran much faster. Great bargain for this price. I know it's not the top of the line SSD, but if you want top of the line, you better expect to pay TONS more. This SSD satisfied its purpose and I am happy. Highly recommended

This is solid-state drive is outstanding! It has enhance the speed of everything my laptop does. It was very simple to install. You do not need to buy the additional program to transfer information from your old drive to the new drive. All you need is the cable because this drive gives you access to that program. I wish they would've told me that at Best Buy so I could've save some money.

After finding out that the previous hard drive on our main computer received mechanical hard drive failure, we consulted Best Buy's Geek Squad to see what we could do. They recommended this SSD, or Solid State Drive. The SSD is more durable than a hard drive, more efficient, but cost more than previous hard drive purchases. This is because it has no moving parts. The only problem with this is that the drive can only take a certain amount of rewrites (moving files, relocating files, deleting, or adding programs). But to reach that limit one must move his/her files a LOT on a daily basis, so this should not concern most. Geek Squad installed the SSD free of charge (part of Geek Squad Protection Plan), which took a few days. We left the computer with them, then came back when they called. So far, it seems that they installed it correctly, because no problems have appeared, and no scratches or dents have mysteriously appeared after the installation. The computer operates extremely fast. To boot-up this computer takes about 30 seconds; O_o; compared to our old hard drive, which took about 2 minutes. Also this computer has not failed mechanically even though some of the younger family members have thrown tantrums on it. Gladly this purchase was not similar to a hard drive purchase we made from Amazon previously. The hard drive arrived in a box with so-so packaging, and we had to have a friend install it for us. The computer was constantly plagued with long and erratic boot-ups, and every now and then a crash. This was extremely inconvenient for our family. I'm not sure if the hard drive was corrupt from the beginning or if it got banged up while shipping, but I could not stand having this happen again. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this SSD. Thank you Geek Squad for recommending and installing such a great product. And thank the computer gods it didn't end up like our old hard drive.
