Unboxing, Looks, Build quality and Installation
Overall Gigabyte includes everything I’d expect from an SSD at this price point, which would be an SSD, and instructions so no complaints here!
While I doubt looks are a high priority for anyone who buys an SSD this is a really good-looking drive. It’s made out of a matte black metal casing with the Gigabyte logo painted on the front and looks extremely premium.
Build quality
As stated above the entire drive is encased in metal which I have never seen before for an SSD in this price point and is a major plus for me. While I doubt anyone will be throwing their SSD down the stairs it’s nice to have a drive that will survive a beating.
I rate the build quality of the UD PRO 5/5 for being the strongest feeling drive I’ve used and the only SSD I’ve seen in this price point made entirely out of metal.
Installation
The UD PRO is a standard 2.5in SSD so installation is the same here as any other SSD. In my case, I just put the SSD onto the bracket and screw in the 4 screws into the edges and then the drive is installed! It only took about 5 minutes to install this drive so no complaints here.
Now, let’s move onto performance!
