Review: Fit for purpose - Mine is an older model of Toshiba Laptop. We tried and failed to get it from local market due its peculiar shape. We found it from UK, through Amzaon; lest my laptop would have remained defunct even today. From experts, I understood that Transcend is one among the best brands with a very reasonable price. I am completely satisfied with this product and my laptop is now working fine. Transcend saved me from buying a new laptop!!!!
Review: Worth buying - Received the item earlier than delivery date. Installed in my X220 laptop, installed win10pro. Amazed with Windows booting time reduced to 36sec, before its taking 2mins.
