Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Since this SSD includes absolutely no installation instructions, outside of the most unhelpful diagram ever, if you just want an extra drive to run certain stuff more quickly one, rather than migrating data. Thankfully, I am a software engineer... which meant I had no idea what to do. So I contacted support. It's 3 am, I didn't expect much. Restarted a couple times. Tried rewiring the sata cables (which it didn't come with, by the way...kinda inconvenient). Nothing. So, finally, about to give up I right clicked on "This PC" in File Explorer, hoping to find something of note. I found Manage. Navigated to Disk Management, and waited for a moment. Finally, it was shown that the new SSD was not formatted. Like literally at all. So I just did that, and now it shows up in file explorer. yay. After a few tests, it says that it's downloading and moving files at around 1 MB/s, where the other components are now bottlenecking it. So...all in all...looks good for a hard drive. EDIT: However, running programs on this SSD seems to be severely harming my CPU performance. I can't seem to fathom why. Sometimes it even tops out my CPU to 100% playing League of Legends, which is just the oddest thing, as it never went beyond 20% before migrating it over to SSD. Perhaps the drive has a high miss rate, and is forcing the CPU to continuously query the drive?
