Works well- no flaws plus the LED status light was helpful. Works well in laptops, good upgrade from DRAMLESS.Though I wouldn't advise this for a Windows C:\ drive as it'll get a little cumbersome.For Linux, absolutely! I use it with XFS.Exceptional speed, compatible with laptops, I'd say its value is over the price & it doesn't get hot at all. I've used it for a few months now and it's quite durable-no sign of degradation.
