Integral V Series 2 480GB SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD, Up To 520MB/S Read 470MB/S Write, INSSD480GS625V2, Solid State Hard Drive

Having already replaced the hard drive in my desktop and Dell E6400 with a SSD version, the results were impressive so having 2 more old laptops laying around I purchased this one for an Compaq Presario CQ62. For some unknown reason I could not get the machine to recognise the drive and gave up with this one. Fitted it into a Dell Vostro 1520 with no issues and it has transformed the machine. It loads Win10 much faster and while it is not "blisteringly" fast, it is defiantly much much faster than it was and now back in everyday use. The old drive was very hot after a bit of use, the SSD almost stone cold, even after an hour. The fan on this Dell is quite noisy but with this hard drive running so cool the fan is not running full bore all the time, in fact its now almost silent for long periods. The best £20 I have spent for some time, just hope it gives me the life span of the old spinning HD's as in 25+ years never had one of those fail-now touching a big bit of wood. I have kept all the old hard drives with everything loaded so if I have any issues, I can just refit the original drive and I am back in business. Cheapest and easiest way to upgrade an old laptop with amazing results, very impressed.

Delivered as advertised. It works well. Thank you.

This review is for the 120GB V2 2.5 Inch SATA variant on this product page. I bought this to revive a friend's laptop which had a painfully slow 5400RPM HDD which took 5 minutes to start, even with a clean Windows install. It was pretty much e-waste waiting to be thrown out sadly, so needed a small investment to give it some new life. Delighted to report that this drive did the trick, making it startup within 10 seconds and wake from sleep in under 2 seconds. I can't speak for the longevity of the drive (as this is a cheap drive, reliability is the first area to be compromised on) but will update this review later if any issues come to light later on. At time of purchase, this was the cheapest SSD you could buy new on Amazon, at only £12 - you'll be hard pressed to find anything cheaper - you could go second hand, but those will be a mixed bag with almost certainly no warranty backing it up. My main piece of advice if buying this, would be to a) acknowledge it's a cheap drive, so don't expect much, and b) backup any important data on this drive elsewhere so you won't be upset if/when it does die on you. Otherwise, so long as you're aware of the likely drawbacks of going so cheap for a piece of computer hardware, you really can't go too far wrong spending just over a tenner on this drive. It'll bring life back to otherwise barely usable computers, saving them from being scrapped for at least a little while longer.

Straightforward install, fits the exact same form as the equivalent mechanical HDD so no adapters or anything required — nice boost in random read performance means my laptop now boots significantly faster and results in a lot more battery time spent doing useful work instead of waiting for I/O. Uses a fair bit less power than a mechanical as well so a smidge more overall battery life completes the picture. Would recommend.

Bought to install Linux distros on to try them out. Needed 120GB as I use Rescuezilla and my other OS SSDs are 120GB. Works ok. Copies and writes at good speeds in the real world.

My neighbour has an 11 year old Asus laptop what was pretty sluggish. I swapped the original HDD for this SSD, reinstalled Win 10, and now it's better than new. Paid around GBP25 for a branded 512GB, so cant complain. I have 2 integral SSD's that are over 10 years old and still working trouble free.

HP all-in-one PC became DREADFULLY slow over last few months. Seriously unusable. Suspected the 5200rpm HDD was the cause but could not prove it! Took a risk on a new SSD replacement. This one a real bargain. Cloned the HDD to the SSD using a USB3 External case, then replaced onboard HDD with the new SSD, and booted it up. Stunning improvement. Things now happen as fast (in fact much faster) than they used to a year or so back. One example is a Macrium backup. Used to take 20-45 minutes to back up daily to an external 4TB drive. Now it takes 9 minutes.

Works great, does what it says on the tin

Article conforme à la description. Performances au rendez-vous. Excellent rapport qualité prix.

En principio creía que sería un producto SSD Sata similar a otros de carácter chino pero me he dado cuenta con el uso de varias semanas que es muy fiable. Muy rápido en lectura y escritura, ahora mi PC Sobremesa arranca en 30 segundos. Además, casi no pesa, menos que uno de construcción china. Estoy contento... de momento, pero la diferencia de precios de esta clase de SSD Integral a los de mayor capacidad es bastante grande. En fin, he hecho una buena compra y muy contento.

Ottimo SSD svolge il suo lavoro perfettamente.

Excellent, good speed, trouble free.

Ich habe die Integral V Series 2 mit 1TB in meinen PC eingebaut, um eine ältere Festplatte zu ersetzen – und das Upgrade hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Laut AS SSD Benchmark erreicht die SSD 532 MB/s beim Lesen und 495 MB/s beim Schreiben – also sogar ein bisschen mehr als vom Hersteller angegeben (520/470 MB/s). Auch die 4K- und Multithread-Werte sind für eine SATA-SSD absolut ordentlich: 30 MB/s Lesen und rund 110 MB/s Schreiben. Die Reaktionszeiten sind mit 0,045 ms beim Lesen und 0,124 ms beim Schreiben sehr niedrig, was sich im Alltag direkt bemerkbar macht – Windows bootet schnell, Programme starten ohne Verzögerung. ✔️ Was überzeugt: Liefert sogar mehr Leistung als beworben Preis-Leistung top Einfache Installation im PC (2,5", SATA) Gute Gesamtperformance für eine SATA-SSD ✖️ Was man bedenken sollte: Natürlich kein Vergleich zu NVMe, aber für normale Nutzung reicht's völlig Kein Zubehör oder Software dabei (ist aber kein Muss) Fazit: Wer eine günstige und solide SSD sucht, liegt mit der Integral V Series 2 genau richtig. Ob für Systemlaufwerk oder als Speichererweiterung – sie macht, was sie soll, und das sehr zuverlässig.
