I purchased this SSD for use as mSATA SSD caching with the Intel Z68 and Intel Smart Response Technology in a desktop PC. It significantly shortened the system boot time compared to running in HDD only. Opens frequently used applications and data files...

It\'s wireless. I use it like a external hard drive. Sometimes I have to reset the Ipad or the Wi-Drive. It needs more memory.

Before choosing the perfect SSD for my computer, I stumbled upon a variety of choices from top companies that provide the SSD product. I decided to go with Crucial Technology's SSD, and I ultimately made the right decision. I couldn't believe how...

While not as fast as the internet makes you get excited for, it is an improvement, but not worth the investment right now. I got a 6.9 on WEI, but I was expecting a 7.1 or more. My VelociRpator(!) got a 5.9. The main thing this excels in is the...

Intel was gracious enough to send a shiny new drive to the lab for review, so first off we would like to thank Intel for their generosity and the opportunity to review another of their newly minted 20nm Lithography MLC Flash equipped SSD's. The drive I...

In CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD’s sustained read tests, the Force GT is as fast as any SSD we’ve ever tested. Its ATTO 64KB read and write scores, single-queue-depth 4KB read and writes, and Iometer random write speeds are likewise nearly identical to...

We used to work closely with Mushkin as far back as our first few LAN parties but over the past few years that communication slowed down. This year at CES we had a chance to catch up and see what they have been up to, and we were happy to see that on...

Are you kidding? It's like a new computer. That I like. In time, hopefully, it will continue to perform as the old drive did. It's wait and see for that, but who would like a steroid injection in their own PC, or Macs?? Short of optimizing your PC ......

Around the time Intel released their 520 Series of SSDs based on the SandForce SF-2281 FPU a new set of drivers started going around that claimed RAID 0 TRIM support. While the early 11.5 Series drivers claimed this massive feat was possible, it took a...

The OCZ RevoDrive PCI Express 50GB drive was a complete pleasure to test. I had no issues whatsoever installing, booting into and running both Windows 7 Professional and Ubuntu Linux 10.10. The installation could not be simpler, just plug into the...

We use a couple of these in two vyatta servers in our server farm. They are big and fast enough for that (though not very fast, and not big enough to install ubuntu on). Not had any problems with them besides long delivery delays.
