Put it in this and use it for high capacity high speed portable storage.

Use it as your secondary rig's or laptop's boot drive.

Sell it or give it to one of your friends who needs an SSD.

Use it as a scratch drive.

Put it on your wall of old hardware.

Use it for games :D Games like GTA V and Battlefield greatly benefit from SSD speeds when loading into games.
