Aireye 240GB SATA III 2.5-Inch 6.0Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD)-S1

I mounted the drive in both of my W10 computers, an HP and a Lenovo, and it didn't show up in This PC for either one. I've had this problem with other ssd's, and have returned them with the explanation that they were incompatible. This time I decided to search for a solution. I found several forums, with MANY people who had the same problem, and lots of recommended fixes, none of which worked for me. But I found a solution of my own. 1. Download a free partition software, such as Aomei or Easeus. You could also try Macrium Reflect, but I think they are only including backup software in their home version now. 2. When you open the app, it will show the drive in their menu, as an unallocated drive. If a format option is in the menu, you could do that now. Whether or not you format, create a partition in the drive. It will now appear in This PC. 3. From This PC, you could format the drive, if you haven't already done so. 4. If the formatting wipes the partition, and the drive disappears, use the partition software to partition it again. You should be set to go.The Aireye is performing nicely as the primary drive in my Lenovo PC. This is after about two weeks of use-I'll update if there is a change.

The media could not be loaded.  So I just got Aireye 240gig SATAIII SSD for my Lenovo Laptop. I decided to purchased this solely off the reviews that I read threw amazon. That being said I am a name brand guy when it comes to some tech and decided to give the Aireye a try.I got this to upgrade for My Lenovo G70-80 17.3” I3 Laptop with 16gigs DDR3, All I can say is DANG!! This is was super easy to install and setup! My laptop literally boots to my windows 10 Login screen is 5.61 seconds! This is faster than my smaller HP with a Samsung Evo SSD.Please Note that every system is a bit Different and may have faster or slower boot times!For anyone that is looking for a nice little upgrade for you laptop and or Desktop I would Highly Recommend This Drive! I will recommend this to not only my friends and Family, Will Also Recommend To all my Clients that I do computer repair and upgrades for!AIREYE Thanks for an Awesome SSD[...]Video is a bit light will remake and repost hopefully soon!

Have Been Using This SSD For roughly 3 weeks now, Bought it to speed up my Laptop a bit and figured instead of going for a Samsung 850 Evo Id give this a shot. Upon receiving the item I noticed it was extremely light. Literally felt as though it was just the outer shell of the ssd with no internals. Popped it into my Laptop went to do a new install of Windows 10 and it could not locate the SSD so ok went into the bios set the ssd as #1 in the boot menu, Loaded windows 10 up again. Same issue wouldn't find the SSD. After Playing around a bit I finally Got it to notice the SSD. Installed windows and started using the laptop. Over the last few weeks I have Noticed my laptop from power on to windows log on takes 3 Sec compared to about 1 min before. Sometimes not all when im doing some heavy data transfers i notice the drive stuttering as though it is overwhelmed. Yes its only 240gb but i only use it as a OS Drive all my apps and Files are saved on a few servers. As you can see from the Screenshot the reads and writes are decent its the seq. 4k reads and writes that I question. In my book You would be better off spending a little bit more for a higher end SSD such as a Samsung, Intel, Kingston. Just remember you get what you pay for. If you want my full review There will be a Youtube Video that will dive more in depth With regaurds to This SSD compared to My Samsung 850 Evo.

Installed Ubuntu 16.04 on this. Immediatly recognised and installed correctly. No issues so far. Has been faster than i hoped for! Would definitely buy againUpdate: I have now had this drive in service for about 6 months. I am constantly building, cloning and running Virtual Machines. This SSD makes this so much nicer than with a standard HDD. On the same computer I would saturate my disk I/O with just 1 or 2 VM's, now I have had about 10 running at a time with no noticeable performance impact (mostly low load servers). I love this drive so much I bought another for my server and my laptop! No issues with any of them!!!! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Great price for this drive, and great performance for the past two weeks after installation.I used free AEOMEI Backupper software, and a StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA cable, to clone the hard drive to this SSD; then installed it in the desktop box with a KingWin 2.5 to 3.5" metal bracket. The first bootup wasn't overly fast, but the second and all subsequent bootups have been less than 20 seconds each. Shutdowns - which used to take several minutes - are now about 10-15 seconds. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scans now run about 10 minutes, instead of an hour.

I purchased this to replace the drive in a used laptop I bought. The drive being replaced was a 1TB 5400 RPM platter drive.This SSD handles everything faster (as it should) and it is well made. Sometimes you will get SSD enclosures that make the components inside seem cheap just from how it feels. The casing was sturdy, the soft touch paint applique was just right. Took 2 minutes to install and less than 5 minutes to install Windows 10 and get everything rolling. You cannot get that performance from a platter drive.Good product, great price.

Such a good price and read/write speed that I bought two of these. Haven't looked back since.Absolutely no issues to date ~6 months. I haven't benchmarked these against any other SSD but why would I need to? Replacing a 7200rpm spin disk with any sata III SSD was/would be a vast improvement. I can't see performance being significantly better with a different SSD unless it was needed for a business setting (in which case something like Intel or Samsung may be more appropriate due to proven reliability).Would strongly suggest.
