Idlier's Tech Craze

Recently, I have decided to purchase China brand ( Zheino and Goldenfir ) SSDs to upgrade the mechanical harddisks that I have at home.  I was experiencing slowness on my Lenovo U41 laptop and suspected that it is caused by a failing harddisk. I did replace with another harddisk but the problem still exists. At that time I managed to find a Zheino brand 512GB SSD on offer (SGD$25.48 @Lazada) and quickly purchased it.

As for write speed it is worthy since it is higher than those earlier purchased China made MicroSD cards in the earlier review.  EAGAT 64GB($2.61/$2.59 actual purchase price) Grade: Class 10, U3,V10, A1 Advertised Read: Up to 100Mb/s Advertised Write: Up to 45Mb/s Actual test from Samaung S8: Read: Up to 74Mb/s Write: Up to 48Mb/s ========================================================================== This...
