MushkinSource-II - Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - 2.5 Inch - SATA III - 6Gb/s - 3D Vertical TLC - 7mm (512GB Element)

They're a great value for an SSD. I have had one for a few years and haven't had any problems with it at all. I just got another one a few months ago and it seems to be working great, though I've almost filled it up already x.x I may have to buy another one soon. Maybe more than 1TB next time. But I use both of mine for storing games and Unity projects and they work great. I was a little worried starting out trying to find a cheaper SSD that wouldn't crap out on me. I use a black Samsung with the grey square for my OS and I know those are very reliable, but it was a bit pricey already for a 240 or so GB. But its reassuring to have 2 of the Mushkin SSDs and both working well. I feel comfortable coming back to buy more of these.

The Mushkin Source II - 1TB Internal SSDs I bought (two of them) were meant to replace a Seagate and a Western Digital 1TB SATA HDDs in one of my desktop computers. Dual boot, Windows 10 on one of them, Linux on the other. I was curious to see if I would run into issues with Win 10 cloning, but used Macrium Reflect Free for the boot partition followed by Mini Tool Partition Wizard 10 for the other 6 partitions on the same drive and this went without a hiccup. Next the second HDD was cloned which had Debian Linux Jessie on it (ext4) followed by two more NTFS partitions. I could do this only with Mini Tool, Macrium does not work on Linux. Copying went fine, making the Linux partitions active as well but ended up not being able to boot Linux yet. It will require a bit more work. In any case these SDDs are very fast, night and day in comparison with my previous setup and did not give me any headaches. The price was really good, I have multiples of Muskin SDDs in other computers. So far they outlasted one Intel SDD. Bought the first one at least 4 years ago and it is still running fine. Bought one for my brother at about the same time I bought the first two and that is still running for him just fine.

I installed this in one of my older computers and now it is much faster and usableThus is the 2nd of these drives I have purchasedI.will.never own a computer without a ssd drive

It's a nice and cheap ssd that was a easy install and just good for its price.

Bought this to upgrade an older PC from a 7200rpm mechanical hard drive and bring it into the modern age. Installed windows 10 pro on it and the computer is SO much better now. Boots fast, loads things fast, makes a huge difference. Several months in with it now and no issues yet.

Great budget drive.

I bought 2 of these in Oct 2019. They sat unused/powered down in a decomissioned system for all of 2023 (climate controlled environment, heavy usage prior). Dug them out this weekend. 1 is still going strong in a new system. One failed on March 23, 2024. Just missed that 3 year warranty period.Mushkin Sources are a value-product, not a high performer, and SATA-III is not impressive in the new NVME world. But I dont regret the purchase, just describing the conditions under which this product I own, failed.

This is not the best performing SSD, but for the price it is a good deal.Been using it for several years for games and other storage. Still going strong. Just did the disk check today.

Just what I needed for a great price works well

good quality

Working Great

Shortly after the return period it started having data corruption issues. Ran chkdsk to fix all the damage and a few weeks later it's corrupted again. Awful. Fortunately I still have the SSD I cloned it from, but I can't use this computer for anything important with this junky drive in it.
