I consider myself a technology enthusiast who has replaced multiple hard drives in multiple notebooks and desktops over the years. I usually just install a clean copy of Windows whenever I install a new hard drive, but I've also used various types of software to clone hard drives so that I don't have to re-install Windows.I can honestly say that this is the easiest upgrade kit and easiest cloning software I've ever used. Just remove your old hard drive from your notebook, install the new SSD, install the old hard drive into the provided external enclosure and connect it to a USB port on your notebook, then insert the install CD into the drive and follow the on-screen instructions.Best of all, the solid state drive (SSD) provides trouble-free shock protection for all your data (no more crashing hard drives) and it will make your laptop feel faster as well. Just be sure that you're using this kit with a laptop/notebook that has a SATA hard drive and not an older IDE hard drive interface.Pros:-- Includes an external USB enclosure so you can use your old hard drive after you've replaced it with an SSD.-- Includes the easiest cloning software I've ever seen.-- Provides a nice boost to laptop performance at a fair price.Cons:-- No printed copy on the installation instructions. You have to print out the instructions from the PDF document included on the CD.-- If you have a larger hard drive you need to delete files off your old drive so that it takes up enough room to fit on the smaller SSD before you can clone the drive.-- Since this is a budget-priced SSD it is faster than a traditional hard disk drive but isn't as fast as some of the more expensive SSDs offered by Kingston and other companies.

My laptop's old 80GB drive was overheating and causing blue-screens. A friend recommended an SSD to eliminate the heat problem. There are a lot of SSD options, not all budget friendly and not all actually reliable. One online "shootout" noted that while the Kingston SSD worked flawlessly, another more expensive device ran faster but only until its wear-leveling algorithms faltered (after which it performed worse than a hard drive). Having read that, and frankly quite tired of the blue-screens from the overheating hard drive, I selected the Kingston for its low cost and the completeness of the kit. Installation was very easy. Pay attention to the notes in the packaging: remove your laptop drive, place it into the supplied external enclosure, and put the SSD into the laptop. It wasn't my first guess about the sequence but it makes sense in hindsight. The transfer software worked first time, taking about an hour. The laptop booted and all applications have run perfectly. Consistent with the online "shootout" I read before purchasing, the Kingston SSD is 2x faster than my prior 5400 RPM drive. Database programs and virus scans take half the time. A drive test program rated its read rate at 118 megabyte/second. For comparison, a friend's expensive 15K HD drives were running at only 80MB/s. It's been a month now and no blue screens, consistently fast operation, and absolutely no heat from the drive. For me, the Kingston SSD kit hit a sweet spot of price, performance, and features.

Purchased this SSD for my Macbook Pro 13". It was very simple to install (about 15 minutes tops). The included housing for your old drive was a great extra and facilitated the upgrade.Be aware that installing an SSD does not necessarily increase battery life. In many cases, battery life actually suffers. With this Kingston drive, the battery life is more or less than the same as with the original hard drive; perhaps you lose a few minutes of life.But in exchange, you get a much faster drive (even noticeably faster than a 7200 rpm drive!). The speed increase is really phenomenal and worth the few minutes loss in battery life.The drive is also lighter and so the weight of the computer is lessened. Finally, it runs cool all the time and it is much more durable (no moving parts!).
