Installed with only slight difficulty
I went through a few iterations to install the drive. It was not possible to create a mirror image of the original using a USB external drive box because of format restrictions. I installed the SSD drive in the computer, and with a free program called "Macrium Reflect" the cloning worked like a...

Nice product, nice price.
Bought this for my 2009 27" iMac, seemed a good replacement for the 1TB built in spinner. Had no trouble from it so far, speed improvement is fantastic. Tried putting an SSD into a MacBook previously and the MacBook wouldn't take it, so very happy that this worked first time.

"Great budget SSD"

- Cheap compared to competitors
- low power consumption
- low operating temperature
Cons:
- Still expensive compared to HDDs

All in all I'm very pleased with this drive. The price was unbeatable for this capacity - under 50 cents per GB! Functionally, it may be somewhat slower in some types of writes and reads but you've be very hard to notice it in actual usage.
Pros:
- Great Value
- Huge capacity
- Reliable
- MLC NAND not TLC for longer life
- 7mm case fits everywhere
Cons:
- Very high density NAND is a little slower in some tests, Couple of reallocated sectors since day one
- Common for M5 drives apparently, Had to Power Cycle laptop a few times because BIOS couldn't find the drive sometimes
- Has been solid since this was done.

Affordable, awesome as an OS drive
There was nothing special or remarkable about installing the device (it did come with two mSATA sized screws tho), and consecutively installing Windows 7 Pro on it was a breeze on my Lenovo Y500.
