INLAND Professional 512GB SSD 3D TLC NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive (512GB)

I'm a big fan of Micro Center and their Inland brand, I have many things from them in various categories of tech. I have multiple Inland external SSDs and they've all been great so when I needed an SSD for a project restoring and tinkering with an old 2008 Aluminum MacBook, my first choice was Inland. I use other drive brands too such as Samsung, WD, and Crucial, but for value Inland is usually a solid option for price, capacity and performance, and I've been happy with all my externals lasting so I think reliability is probably solid too. This drive is in an older Mac, so it's not getting slammed too hard with data, but it's definitely nice and fast benching about what a SATA III SSD should, and it doesn't get very hot either. The machine boots quickly and every OS has been nice and snappy in comparison to the very slow 5400RPM SATA II hard drive previously installed. Overall a great budget option for storage drives, an extra drive for games, a scratch disk for editing, or for refreshing/tinkering with spare machines, will definitely be buying more in various capacities as needed.

Used this to upgrade my SSD, easy install and has worked like a charm.

I have used these drives many times as well as the larger capacity drives from Inland. They work well on personal computers that are not used all day and all week like a business PC is. Great for lightly used PC's. I recommend something more durable for PC's that are high use PC's like Samsung. I'm told western digital ssd's are pretty durable as well

Great drive especially for the price. Put it in two Dell XT3s and it worked like a champ.

Great quality cards

For the price it's very good. I miss Microcenter - wish there was one nearby!
