ORICO 1TB SATA SSD 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive, Read Speed up to 500MB/s, SATA III 6Gbps for Desktop Laptop NAS DIY External Drive - Y20

Very good value drive thats ideal for using as games storage. I am always running out of space as games keep getting larger every year, so it was great to be able to add an extra 1tb of storage to my PC. The speeds are nothing to write home about, but for use as a games drive they are more than sufficient. I have installed Expedition 33 as well as a few multiplayer games and they have all been running flawlessly, with fast load times.The drive itself does feel a little light weight and cheap as its outer case is made from plastic. The screw holes are metal, so the screws won't strip out. The temp is 27c according to HW monitor, so seems to be staying cool despite not having a metal case.

Price is something that is hard to ignore for SSDs for known brands. I’ve been running few of them in my home server for the past year so far, and they have been working excellent and no issues. However, longevity and customer support quality isn’t something hard to comment so far but, they seem fine and decent for the price.

I bought this drive when it was 38 pounds for the 1TB version. Its good value at that price. Its often more like 59 pounds. At this price there are more options, that might have higher performance. Speed wasn't that important in my application. I just wanted something cool, and quiet to run 24x7. I've been using it for a couple weeks, and had no issues with it so far.

Great for additional storage for your pc. Works great and no additional software required. Just simply plug and play. Speeds are decent too. Averaging around 450-500mbs read and write speeds.

Excellent SSD. No problems and have already copied a library of films and programs and alls good. Using it with an enclosure as an external HD, working well so far.Tip: Using it for that purpose, you need to initialize the HD in the Windows settings after enclosure installation, I forgot to begin with as it's a number of years since I had done it but once I remembered it then worked plug and play, like a normal of the shelf external HD, between PCs.This review is early in usage but am hoping to get good life from it. Looks and feels good quality SSD.

Good price and works fine so far.

Very fast very quietvery easy to installOnly time will tellSee what happens in 6 months time?

Supplied with a small screwdriver and four screws. I don't think these drives are particularly fast but they are of course a lot faster than a traditional hard disk and should be impervious to phyical damage and have a more extended life.I bought the 128 GB size which gives space to spare with a 64bit version of Windows 10.The price I paid was about £8.50 which is a very good price for the date March 2025
