I have used this for a couple of weeks now and haven't noticed any issues or disadvantages. Lowered my Windows loading time from around 6 seconds with SSD to less than 3. Unassuming black suits my sleeper PC nicely. WD disk cloning software was a dream to use and took about 15 mins to complete. In my case this drive is totally unnecessary but pretty cool. Good price and fast delivery from PB Tech, as always.
