Integral V Series 2 480GB SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD, Up To 520MB/S Read 470MB/S Write, INSSD480GS625V2, Solid State Hard Drive

Brilliant!! This has worked wonders on my Dell laptop which had become slow and a real pain to use. Install windows without any issues, now laptop boots up extremely fast and windows runs silky smooth. At this price it’s a no brainer!

Having already replaced the hard drive in my desktop and Dell E6400 with a SSD version, the results were impressive so having 2 more old laptops laying around I purchased this one for an Compaq Presario CQ62. For some unknown reason I could not get the machine to recognise the drive and gave up with this one. Fitted it into a Dell Vostro 1520 with no issues and it has transformed the machine. It loads Win10 much faster and while it is not "blisteringly" fast, it is defiantly much much faster than it was and now back in everyday use. The old drive was very hot after a bit of use, the SSD almost stone cold, even after an hour. The fan on this Dell is quite noisy but with this hard drive running so cool the fan is not running full bore all the time, in fact its now almost silent for long periods. The best £20 I have spent for some time, just hope it gives me the life span of the old spinning HD's as in 25+ years never had one of those fail-now touching a big bit of wood. I have kept all the old hard drives with everything loaded so if I have any issues, I can just refit the original drive and I am back in business. Cheapest and easiest way to upgrade an old laptop with amazing results, very impressed.

This review is for the 120GB V2 2.5 Inch SATA variant on this product page. I bought this to revive a friend's laptop which had a painfully slow 5400RPM HDD which took 5 minutes to start, even with a clean Windows install. It was pretty much e-waste waiting to be thrown out sadly, so needed a small investment to give it some new life. Delighted to report that this drive did the trick, making it startup within 10 seconds and wake from sleep in under 2 seconds. I can't speak for the longevity of the drive (as this is a cheap drive, reliability is the first area to be compromised on) but will update this review later if any issues come to light later on. At time of purchase, this was the cheapest SSD you could buy new on Amazon, at only £12 - you'll be hard pressed to find anything cheaper - you could go second hand, but those will be a mixed bag with almost certainly no warranty backing it up. My main piece of advice if buying this, would be to a) acknowledge it's a cheap drive, so don't expect much, and b) backup any important data on this drive elsewhere so you won't be upset if/when it does die on you. Otherwise, so long as you're aware of the likely drawbacks of going so cheap for a piece of computer hardware, you really can't go too far wrong spending just over a tenner on this drive. It'll bring life back to otherwise barely usable computers, saving them from being scrapped for at least a little while longer.

This was bought to replace a 2Tb spinning hdd in a Freesat 4K recorder. The oem hard drives only last 2 years and then pack up. This was a straight replacement. No formatting or partitioning necessary. Machine's gui seems to run faster as it spends less time reading the drive. Recording playback is buttery as well. All good for that use. I would NOT trust this in PC - likely to fail without warning. Stick to Crucial etc for that use.

Edit: the review below was written whilst I had issues with the drive. After spending a couple of days trying stuff out it seems the root cause of the issue was a faulty SATA cable. The drive itself was and still is perfectly OK. Having replaced the cable the drive is working perfectly and no data was lost. Changed rating from 3 to 5 stars ------ End of Edit ----- Don't use this product for any important data that you wouldn't want to lose. I purchased 2 units around 6 months ago to replace on old and failing HDD in my desktop PC. They were both installed on the same date and setup identically using a GPT partition in Windows 10. 6 months down the road and one of the devices has failed. The PC is reporting a SMART failure on one drive (see photo) and within Windows the device is now showing as GPT Protective Partition which seems to mean my data is gone unless i want to throw money at buying dubious software that might be able to rescue my data, but no guarantees. This drive is great for say putting your movie collection onto a second drive for a Raspberry Pi media center to take on holiday with you, but dont use it for anything that you cant afford to lose.

Great affordable SSD, perfect for me as a 2nd drive to dual boot Win 10 and Linux.

Sept 2024 - 1Tb for £47.95 Good price point, and Integral are one of the first manufacturers I look out for as a) I've had a good reliability experience with them and b) it's a UK company. Of course, it won't last forever, that's just the way it is with SSD's, so your mileage will vary depending upon your usage scenario, for my use case scenario, as long as it outlasts the 1Tb storage requirement, it will have done it's job. Due to the finite nature of SSD drives, price at time of purchase is super important, of course, the Read/Write speeds should be in the good/very good category without breaking the bank and this is a good choice.

Fab for backups

Instalado en un ordenador que ya no iba apenas, muy lento. El ordenador parece nuevo. Se acabaron los problemas de lag que tenía. Buen disco duro y muy bien de precio

Funkar perfekt för normalt bruk.

Ottimo ssd funziona benissimo

En principio creía que sería un producto SSD Sata similar a otros de carácter chino pero me he dado cuenta con el uso de varias semanas que es muy fiable. Muy rápido en lectura y escritura, ahora mi PC Sobremesa arranca en 30 segundos. Además, casi no pesa, menos que uno de construcción china. Estoy contento... de momento, pero la diferencia de precios de esta clase de SSD Integral a los de mayor capacidad es bastante grande. En fin, he hecho una buena compra y muy contento.

gran articulo lo recomiendo
