BIG THANKS TO DIRT BOY I also upgraded the firmware successfully to 007. http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx - then select "Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5-inch SSD". This SSD is a rebadge of that one as seen in System Profiler - "Model:...

I am not a gamer. I combined this purchase with core i3 ivy, h77 mobo with sata 3 ports, 8 gig of fast ddr 3 ram, and windows 8. The boot time is a little under 10 seconds. IE or firefox open instantly and there is no lag with running anything. Very...

Well at first I was really unsure on how to even give you my opinion on this drive.  Some of the results from the tests were good, but others were quite low.  After many days of research I found out a few things about some of our benchmarking...

So, should buy this drive? We think so. Priced at Rs. 10,499, the Corsair Force 3 120GB strikes a very good balance between speed and capacity. It’s roughly the same performance as the last Plextor drive we reviewed. Although, the capacity of this...

The Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD just plain delivers what it promises. Speeds were consistently within striking distance of theoretical limits given the drives advertised specifications. With the Samsung controller and 3 year warranty behind it the...

Despite having some initial compatibility problems with my Lenovo Thinkpad T61, OCZ Agility 3 proved to be quite a good SSD in its price-range. Performance was bit disappointing considering the numbers OCZ claimed it to be able, but then again in real...

While the Patriot Wildfire SSD packs serious performance its high asking price makes it a hard pill to swallow.

120 GB" is actually "111 GB" if that matters to anybody. This is the last SSD I purchase from this company, for the hype, I was hoping for much better write speeds. For games, you don't need write speed as much as read speed, if you only care for...

The OCZ Octane (512GB) solid-state drive marks the reunion of OCZ and Indilinx, and is a fine performer in many situations—if not during intense writing tasks.

While long term reliability is a question mark, the 120GB 510 Series is a fast and well-priced SSD for any type of user.

The 512GB Vertex 4 offers some of the strongest performance you'll find in OCZ's new line of SSDs, but not everyone will see all of it.

With my new system build I wanted to do away with the classic hard-drives and went full SSD. I won't be swapping drives, so once they're in, they're in and it all works. It's not as flimsy as others state. I have screw free bays, but had to use screws...

I've been running two of these on Raid0 since 04/12/2012 and have not noticed any performance decrease when using various bench marking software. This is unbelievably fast and well worth the money if you're not one that enjoys waiting.

In the OWC Electra 6G article I wrote last month I missed the 24/7 customer service information. Being one of the hardcore guys from the power user category, it's easy for me to overlook warranty, customer service, tech support and other areas that can...

is with the ADATA's Nobility N002 well defined. However, its performance is according to the manufacturer 200 MB/s during reading and 170 MB/s during writing, which is slower than the OCZ Enyo and its current price of 360.- euro is clearly above our...

Looking at the results, there is no doubt the Patriot Torqx is the best out of the two solid state drives that entered Neoseeker's labs; it was beaten in only one test by the OCZ Agility. It is in the 4K 64-threads test of the AS SSD benchmark. This...

Unlike some other PCI-E-based SSD products, the RevoDrive is bootable, making it an excellent alternative to a dual-drive boot volume. We tested with pre-release Silicon Image drivers, but final drivers should be available for download by the...

Speed is excellent compared to the 7500rpm HHD I was using prior to buying this ; 64bit Windows 7 boots up in about 10sec

Mushkin's high-end drive delivers impressive performance on most benchmarks, as well as thickness and capacity options aplenty. Just know that you'll pay a bit extra for the 7mm models, and don't expect to find software or accessories in the box.

I've been buying OCZ drives for a while now and in the beginning of August 2012, I purchased two of these SSD's. I configured them both in a RAID 0 configuration. Everything was super lightning quick for three solid months. Then, out of nowhere, I boot...

If we learn anything from these benchmarks, it’s that buying an SSD with proper management software to maintain those “new SSD” performance levels is really a huge plus. Many SSDs rely on their own included self cleaning software to manage themselves,...
