Long story short - I have a WD Black hard drive that I believe is failing. I wanted to upgrade to an SSD to put Windows 10 on, and just use the WD Black as a backup or put my games onto it.
Anyhow, a friend had a spare mSATA from an order he made, and he didn't need it. The thing is, it's an off brand SSD. It's 256Gb, and Lite-On manufactured it, and I'm not sure how reliable that is. I can't seem to find anyone who has bought a Lite-On mSATA. This leads to my questions.
1.) Should I use this SSD, or should I spend the 100 something bucks on a new one?
2.) Does ANYONE have any experience with Lite-On Corp. and is this a reliable SSD?
3.) This is a gaming PC I've created, does mSATA have any difference against SATA other than the connection type?
At this point, I feel anything is better than the drive I have now, but I just need opinions.
Thank you for any response I may get, and if more information is needed, please let me know!
