Perfect

I have been ordering from LDLC for about 15 years, always satisfied. Fast, quality. I've been ordering from LDLC for about 15 years, and I'm always satisfied. I have just recommended a second one and a second 8 GB drive. The laptop was originally meant to be recycled. Now it's a racehorse. Thanks again.

Failure

It was impossible to clone my Windows drive with AOMEI Backupper and with easeus todo backup, 80% error. The Kingston ssd only supports linux-Ubuntu and not Windows.

        replacement of an old 12 a disc

        Very satisfied with this product, my Dell laptop has been given a new lease of life. My experience with LDLC, which dates back several years, has been confirmed and the advice is always of the highest quality.

        an SSD

        really have an opinion on this?

        well listen it works perfectly xD
        it's an SSD so for those who don't know, well it goes faster than an HDD to put it simply.

        Second Kingston ssd a400...still happy!

        This is the second Kingston SSD I've installed on computers running a Debian distribution, and I've never had a single problem installing or using it. Totally satisfied!

        Perfect

        Thanks to this little SSD I was able to bring some 2013 PCs back to life.
        With 8GB and an old i3, W10 runs perfectly.

        Very easy to replace SSD. I was able to reload Windows 10 on this drive without any difficulty.
        I recommend this operation. For 25 €, it gives a boost to your desktop or laptop.

        I've already had the same one for several years, I bought this one in anticipation, as my PC runs 12 hours a day. I've been using it for a few years now, but I bought this one in anticipation, as my PC is running for 12 hours a day.

        No installation and recognition problems. Mounted as a system disk next to a 1TB mech drive in an office machine. Has been working for 2 years without any problem. Good value for money.

        No worries

        Purchased to replace a ssd in a 2014 LDLC configuration, and thus double the capacity of the system. Been running for a year with no problems.

        For this price.....

        Hello. For this price, it's not a war lightning; but it definitely boosted my old laptop when starting up and running. The battery life has also increased by a good half hour.

        It is working but on my side it is getting hotter even though it is being cooled by fans in the tower.
        It's only a detail, because it works well since September.
        I still recommend it,

        I recommend against

        Poor performance, freezes after deleting files, causes blue screens after 6 months of use, forced to put it in another PC to be recognised by the Kingston software in order to update it (and of course no update available). I suppose any other brand would be better (hard to do worse).

        Good product, but delivery was poor

        I would have gladly given 10/10 for the purchase of this 240GB SSD which gives me complete satisfaction, if it were not for the delivery which was defective. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product, which is very good. I ordered on the 6th of November and no news on the 17th, for a transport between Rhône-Alpes and Anjou.
        I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get the same level of service again, but I'm sure I'll be able to get the same level of service again, and I'm sure I'll be able to get the same level of service again.

        The previous 128GB SSD in my PC had reached its capacity limit. This 228GB gives it enough room for a few years. The installation was very easy, and without any difficulties.

        Nothing to complain about.

        Nothing to complain about, good quality/price ratio. Between this and a platter hard drive on a slow PC, it's night and day. It's a goodbye to endless disk accesses and "scratching" and hello silence and reactivity.

        What you need, when you need it

        Good ssd that simply does what it is asked to do with no bummer and no loss in performance.
        With Windows 10 installed on it and all my software to work with, I had no problems with this ssd as many reviews say.
        So personally I recommend it, it's a bit cheaper than its competitors and it does the job!

        Another SSD purchase at a decent price for fairly significant performance compared to a mechanical hard drive.

        And a very fast delivery. Thanks LDLC

        At the top!

        240 gigs:
        200 gigs for Windows and programs, games, boot, and a couple of docus so you don't always have the big hard drive spinning all the time.

        40 gigs for Linux and lots of software.
        At this price, an SSD is a necessary or complementary element of a PC.

        It will certainly never replace the terabytes of storage of a single hard drive, but it's nice to see a PC that boots up in a few seconds when cold!

        I have ordered this internal hard drive for my use after a visit to the LDLC shop in Vaucluse. The brand is known as serious for the quality of its products. The installation is easy and the commissioning more delicate when you are not a specialist. The computer works well and is faster.

        Bought to replace an old 2005 HDD on an old platform in Dual-Core 3.00ghz on socket 775.
        I installed the SSD without any problem. Installed win10 without any problems and the computer now boots in 25s.
        It's back on for another 4/5 years.
        I don't know how fast it is, but considering the age of the platform ... it's already very good.

        This hard drive has accelerated my pc very significantly. It's very easy to use. Lightweight. Cloning from an ide hard drive went well. No bugs so far.
        Could have been delivered with its screws!

        Good, but...

        Bought to replace a 'Seagate BarraCuda' HDD (SATA3 - 6Gb/s - 7200rpm) containing an OS, on a PC of about 8 years old, the result is as good as it should be; but not without difficulty...

        > The SSD, like many others if not all, is in GPT "format".
        With this "format", you lose a usable part of your disk...

        - Even after formatting in MBR and setting my motherboard to be compatible with my "choice of BIOS", this SSD (which has been tested on several machines) had a lot of trouble being recognized (both by 'Windows 10' and by 'Linux')... I have never had this problem with any HDD before...
        However, with some insistence and the help of LDLC's technical service, I managed to get it to work on my 'old' machine.
        - The result is that my PC (i7-4790K - 32GB RAM 1600Mhz) has gained, as an example, 20 seconds when launching the OS; it takes 10 seconds at most to be fully launched at 100%.

        In short, the time saving is much appreciated, but two days of hard work were necessary for this result...

        Works well

        Purchased to replace a disk in a 2009 laptop.
        Height compliant, easy to mount.
        Even with windows 10, this old PC with a vintage I3 boots up in 40 seconds.
        Very good value for money.
        I recommend it.

        Bringing an old laptop back to life

        Why 10/10, fast delivery, correct packaging.
        Good product.

        Perfect

        I use it to put my ios on it and it works very well, very fast!
        It would be nice if there was a manual to put the ios on the SSD for the novices!
