HP SSD S700 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP98AA#ABC

It just works. I've had it for 3 months, and so far, it seems to be running perfectly. No hiccups, it's a bit faster than my other ssd on my pc, and, I've been able to play modern games on it (Cyberpunk 2077, etc.) with great ease! Definitely like it for it's relatively good price, disk speed, and reliability thus far.04/2025 Update: still running strong - the above review I did still stands. I've upgraded to a new computer since, and the ssd runs a bit better on this much newer hardware I'm running. It's great, just wish it was still/more often in stock

I picked up this up to use as an external drive for me and my wife's MacBooks; mainly for Time Machine backups and general file storage. Paired with a USB 3.0 enclosure, it’s been a solid upgrade from using older/slower external hard drives.Setting it up was super easy—formatted it to APFS using Disk Utility, and it was ready to go in minutes. Transfer speeds are solid for a SATA SSD, averaging high 400MB/s when moving large files. It’s not the fastest SSD out there, but for backups, media storage, and everyday file transfers, it’s more than enough and it's getting the job done!

The drive was very easy to install and works great. It’s very quiet which is good because I didn’t want my laptop making a lot of noise. I would recommend getting it to fix your device

I got the 256GB... for only $18 and it was delivered the next day. What's not to be happy about? I used it on my wife's Dell computer that no kidding... would take 6-7 full minutes to boot up. Her regular HDD was transferring data at a slow 2.3MBs . (she uses only about 50GB of space). I tried defragging and scanning for errors, and all looked good... but slow.. I purchased this, connected it with an external drive kit i have. Used Acronis to create a clone. Then swapped drives and it now takes only 40 seconds to boot and it's screaming fast.I scanned the new drive for errors and speed, and it's now transferring at 11MBs with no issues. I highly recommend this!NOTE that it's a bare drive with screws. I mounted it with heat resistant tape inside my larger HDD cage, but you may want to consider purchasing the correct size cage (adapter) for this to be screwed in to your larger HDD cage. This drive is SO small and light. The way I did it works for me. :-)

It is easily recognized by any computer, the storage is good and it functionality works perfectly well and fits in your pocket without having any bulk

I really liked that the ssd formatting worked on the first without any issues. The only downside was the actual amount of space. I can’t complain, the speeds are terrific but out of the 512gb as shown, I only have 479. It is still great for the price you can’t go wrong with this ssd.Ps it may have issues with your pc/laptop if it’s not compatible.

Works great. Easy to install. Do far it's running trouble free and I expect it to last.

Had an older but decent HP laptop I was working on for someone. The original HDD was failing and causing corruption so I replaced it with this. For almost the same price as an HDD I was able to install this SSD and after reloading windows, drivers a d software this drive is noticeably faster and quieter. It’s still just a SATA interface so it’s not going to be blazing fast but it’s a solid improvement over the original HDD.
