I don't know the rep of the system manufacturer of this drive, but I had the opportunity to put one in a system, throw a few things at it, and see what happened. I've got a system running heavy hard drive seek times and checked it for temperatures. ...

Replacing and upgrading the SSD on an Eee PC was a breeze. The only issue I had was the holes that retain the SSD where slightly larger than the OEM drive. I was a bit uncomfortable with the fit, but with the PC closed up, it has proved to retain the...

I'm literally using the EXACT same setup as the review below me.. thinkpad W520, with this SSD installed for VMWare images.

I bought this for my Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG102 camcorder. This camera saves (writes) at 16Mb/s+ in its highest 1080p/60fps camcorder setting to this card without a problem. I am happy to report that another review (maybe it was here on Amazon or...

Yes, you heard us right, we put "Western Digital" and "SSD" in the same sentence! For a first-in-industry move, a Hard Disk manufacturer has taken the Solid State plunge. We'll put this new unit to the test and see how it stacks up against the fierce...

Outstanding hard drive for the price. I bought two (2) and run in RAID. Well worth it!

If you are using this as an OS drive in a desktop and you don't use hibernation - you can save a ton of space by turning hybernation off (windows related - do a google search for the commands). I would move the page file if you have another drive - to...

Powerful Dwarf. Besides drives in 2.5-inch size the new SSD product range from Intel also comprises the 310 series, i.e. SSDs in mSATA shape. The devices only weighs 7 gramme and its maximum read transfer rate should be 200 MB/s. Currently, you can...

I use this IDE module directly on the IDE connector of the motherboard. A perfect flash memory accessory for a small NAS OS like NASLite ([...])

To mirror what someone else wrote previously, do your homework before you buy. Configuring one of these as a boot drive is not difficult, but it will require you to make BIOS changes. I took the path of least resistance and just reinstalled windows on...

1) It did an initial backup of 180 GB in 2 hours on a new Air--not the speed I was expecting, but much better than USB 2.0 and 3.0. 2) Before spending the serious $ for this, I tried the Seagate GoFlex portable drive with T'bolt adapter. Yes,...

Not the biggest or the fastest drive around, but it was the cheapest I've seen a 30+ GB SSD drive go for, so I'm very happy with it as a HTPC boot drive.

Ignore the comment from Mike (above), who said that this unit was the same as much cheaper NewEgg item http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993014. He's wrong. That unit is a simple backplane enclosure that allows you to bundle...

My only thought is that you shouldn't feel more comfortable with this guarantee. It lost seemingly random files. The titles were there, but the data was gone. Then the drive was gone. SSDs aren't like normal disks where the data is "in there somewhere"...

I was thinking buy a Kingston SSD in Amazon, and ask for my son that lives in US forward it to me. Before my final decision, I called to Kingston here for know about the warranty procedure, and for my surprise they said that if I buy a Kingston...

1 egg from perfect because it was just shy from the speed i had hoped for... very close.. again if you want more room this card will give you more bang for the buck at this time but if you want more speed i think they are coming out with a new card...

Good compact drive with excellent data tranfer rates. All supplied in a robust casing. Nothing more to say really - well worth the money!

Luckily enough my laptop was a willing transplant patient. If I hadn't had an Intel chipset board to use this with I would have been infuriated. I honestly don't know how to rate this. If you do have compatible hardware it's a 5; if not it's a 1/4 of...

These ultra-fast drives come at a cost premium, so if you’re cautious about spending £2/GB for a Wildfire to revive your aging PC, perhaps you’re better suited to something a little more tame. However, if you've got the cash to burn, the Wildfire would...

The Patriot Inferno is a great SSD, and the fact that it’s not the best is a testament to the strength of the market right now. Customers who opt for the Patriot Inferno will get a great drive, but it’s not the top of the heap. Of course, given the...
