Apacer AS 340 240GB 2.5" SATA3 Internal SSD

These are my go-to SSD for work and budget gaming builds. Not quite as fast as the EVO's but still impressive compared to some of the other, more expensive models out there and 240gb at this price is awesome.

Once, in the days of yore, a mighty laptop was purchased at a heavily discounted price due to it's age and ex-display nature. While powerful and sturdy, it's disks had spun for many a moon, and we're starting to tire in the mornings, as we all do at an age. I went on a quest, a quest to find a new heart for this aging beast! A heart not of spinning disks, but of silicon, and... I dunno, other stuff. I searched high and low for many aeons battling Mighty Apes, resting in Computer Lounges, and even once, when my heart was heavy, I found myself in the dark, forgotten depths of the Amazon!

I found many suitable hearts for my beloved laptop, but non suited my miserly ways. Then lo! At the technical house of PB! I found the heart of a mighty Panther named Apacer, who was lightning fast but did not cause my coin purse to recoil in fear! I slid this embodiment of the Jaguar into my dedicated computer, and it was reborn! Faster than I had ever seen! My quest was complete, and my laptop and I continued our journey of life, without having to wait ten minutes on start up to do anything.

TL;DR Yeah, S'good, eh? Pretty fast, decent price. 9/10, would go on a decades long journey of rebirth again.

I put this SSD in my 2012 MBP which was unbearably slow. It now runs like a brand new laptop.

Chances are you will have the same result! I put this SSD in my 2012 MBP which was unbearably slow. It now runs like a brand new laptop.

Overall it was an alright purchase. I was hoping for better quality for the price. Overall it was an alright purchase. I was hoping for better quality for the price.

Much cheaper than it's competitors around the same price, some even nearing the same price with only half the capacity of this ssd. Read and writes are much faster than your standard hdd.

I used it to breath some life back into an old 2nd gen i5 laptop.
Upgraded from a 5400rpm HDD, night and day difference. I used it to breath some life back into an old 2nd gen i5 laptop.
