I speak as someone who upgraded from a faltering/"your HD will die imminently". This is my first experience with an SSD, and it's definitely much faster. Windows boots at a reasonable time, though still ~15 seconds watching the spinning wheel of doom, while Linux is much faster to open compared when it ran on the hard drive. The transfer rates were somewhat limited by the slowness of the rest of my hardware, but overall it's doing everything I need it to, and doing it reasonably. Would recommend.I speak as someone who upgraded from a faltering/"your HD will die imminently". This is my first experience with an SSD, and it's definitely much faster.

Compared to HDD, of course there is significant gain by using this. Not as fast as other SSD though. But for the price, its more than worth it.Compared to HDD, of course there is significant gain by using this. Not as fast as other SSD though. But for the price, its more than worth it.

Being one the cheapest 240GB SSDs, the Apacer AS 340 offers satisfactory performance. Compared to some of the slightly pricier SSDs I have used, there isn't any noticeable difference in performance. For general use, this is definitely one of better SSD options.Being one the cheapest 240GB SSDs, the Apacer AS 340 offers satisfactory performance.

Good for the budget

not the fastest ssd at writing data, but it's reading speed definitely gives pc a quick and responsive feel. If you are on a HDD then this is definitely worth the purchase.
Pros:
-Quick to start pc and load files
-silent- great for laptops that have that constant buzzing sound from the hdd
cons:
- pretty minor con since it is not the fastest at writing speeds.
conclusion:
Majority of users will use an ssd for opening pre-loaded software or files a lot more commonly than they will be using to store files on the ssd.not the fastest ssd at writing data, but it's reading speed definitely gives pc a quick and responsive feel.

Ditch the standard HDD and replace with an SSD, faster, quieter and your PC boots up in seconds. This is the second Apacer 240GB drive I have purchased and it makes such a difference.Ditch the standard HDD and replace with an SSD, faster, quieter and your PC boots up in seconds.
