Very worthwhile upgrade

 

I'd recommend using this only for OS partitions to significantly decrease your boot time. (If it's faster game loading you're after, you'll probably want more than 60GB.) For best results, put your swap file/partition on a separate, traditional hard...

Can reduce OS boot times by more than 50 ; Silent ; Intel reliability

60GB is not a lot of space in this day and age, even for just OS partitions ; SSDs are still much more expensive per GB than traditional hard drives

Intel 330 Series Maple Crest SSD

 

Very fast, came with a sticker and 3.5" mounting hardware, great warranty. Fantastic price

Has a possible compatibility issue with Windows 8 but that is Microsoft's fault

Boot Drive Success

 

Was easier than I expected to be using this instead of a mechanical HDD. Once Windows "failed to start properly", but windows repaired it automatically. Cant prove that is the drive though. reboots in 13 seconds. Gets to the Login screen before my TV...

Wish it was cheaper

Works well

 

Boots fast, loads games fast, no issues or crashes in the last few months of ownership. Using as boot drive in MSI GT 70 laptop in addition to the 750Gb disc

Didn't come with hardware to install in laptop bay, had to superglue, but I knew it didn't come with hardware so no egg loss

Fast.

 

Installed in an always-on remote serial data collection computer. Went with the Intel SSD since reliability is paramount given it's a 2-hour drive out to the site if something fails. Given that it's in a fanless system, low power/heat production was a...

Intel Reliability. Fast, low power usage. No moving parts, and virtually zero heat

None yet. Few dollars more than similarly-sized competition, but you get what you pay for

Intel SSDSC2CT180A3K5

 

Though absolutely reliable, it isn't the fastest and performance starts to dip rather quickly, as with all Sandforce drives I've owned in the past. I think this will be the last SF drive I'll try unfortunately because I just can't get over how slow the...

Very reliable. Quick read speeds, Intel Toolbox is a pretty solid software, makes a good os/boot drive

Write speeds degrade pretty quickly and Trim does nothing to help. I started noticing it slowing down on file transfers a few months in. I have the 840pro on my main desktop and I write to that a lot more, but performance didn't drop much

Excellent SSD

 

Fast, reliable and a perfect size for a OS disk

Should have gotten a bigger drive to store applications on it

Consumer review by:

Awesome!

 

This is my first SDD. I'm running on some older hardware but it still performs great. I've compared it to some newer PC's and I think for what I paid for all my PC parts, it is a winner! I'll put what I have below for all those looking for an SSD and...

Purchased as Shell Shocker deal for $94 + FS and no MIR too! Great priced but what's even better is the performance! Windows 7 loads up faster than the BIOS on my PC! Not only that, I installed MASS EFFECT 3 and the load times were minimal compared to...

None so far...it's performed very well for me. NO hiccups, no noise

Super fast, with this as my boot drive instead of my old HDD, Windows 7 boots up nearly as fast as my monitor does. Also, comes with a bracket so it fits in the 3.5 slots in my case

None
