The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    blah. I was hoping this was going to be a SSD.

    I didn't see the thread, but I made a new thread. I got a txt message for this shellshocker and I jumped on 3 drives for my laptop. 2 of them are going raid-0 and the other will be a back-up. Love these Shell Shockers.

    I had no idea what the size was when there was a preview of the sale. Then again based on the pic of a drive with a blue label I should have guessed WD and therefor no SSD.
