I saw this the other week and posted below- pretty good price I thought.
A lot of negative recent feedback about it failing.

Almost all of it for the 120GB ones though.

I have an Acer Revo R3610 mini PC. Since updating to Windows 10 it runs so slowly, making it almost unusable.
If I replaced the standard 500 GB internal drive with the Toshiba, would it solve the problem?
Any advice would be appreciated ☺

I would do a clean install of Win 10 first. SSD will do wonders but if you get an SSD then clone the install it might be slower than expected. Cheapest way is to do a clean install to see whether there is something that is causing the slowdown (missing driveres, loops, corruption etc)

I had an older Windows 7 Q6600 quad core, despite 6gb of ram and a seperate 1gb graphics card - it was running slow. I did as mentioned above, put a clean install of Windows 10 on a SSD (but left it dual boot)- the difference is quite unbelievable - it boots up in seconds and everything runs so quick.

Thanks very much for the advice netjock and TimJWL. What I did was reset Windows 7 to fresh using the restore partition, then downloaded Windows 10. I'll create a clean install bootable USB this time. Tempted to get the SSD, such a great price and get a caddy for the HDD ☺

If put one of these in my Toshiba Satellite could I copy the contents of the partition contain the Toshiba setup onto a partition on the SSD first, then install from there? Or is there a quicker (better) way of putting my system on the SSD?

If you have a spare drive bay in the laptop/a USB 3 to Sata cable/a desktop PC that can host both the drives for a while, the easiest way will be to clone the drive. There's tonnes of tools around, everyone has their favourite. I find "mini tool partition wizard" very simple to use. You can either do it manually or there's a "migrate OS to SSD" wizard that should handle it all for you :smiley: It's free as well.
Assuming you have a "normal" laptop (as they usually only have one drive bay) and don't have a desktop handy, the USB 3 to sata cable will be the easiest. One of these is what you are after: Clicky

RE: bad Amazon reviews - interesting to note most of those are from unverified purchasers, who mostly only reviewed that single product, and conveniently someone has commented under many of them "recommending" Kingspec instead.
Great deal OP - heat from me - seems only yesterday I paid this much for a 40GB drive :confused:

I recently bought a USB 3.0-2.5" SATA III cable from eBay for ~£3.
