Very, very fast, even on a SATA II connection (mid-2009 MacBook Pro 15"). The SSD now allows me to boot up in 15 seconds, as opposed to over two minutes with my 7200 RPM drive that I plan to put into the optical drive bay. Everything is nearly instant...

The packaging was DAMAGED, NEW EGG. I sent an email in with pictures. For a $300 unit, this is inexcusable ; Less space than my 512GB 7200 HDD that cost $120

Flash Memory Type ; Micron 25nm MLC NAND ; 3.5" install adapter ; 3 year warranty ; Free Shipping ; Micron Controller not encumbered with the bugs of the Sandybridge Intel SATAIII controller

None

Fast drive with 300-330mb read speeds after enabling TRIM ; Plenty of space as a boot drive

Installation issues with RAID ; The screws used to secure the plate to the case are too small ; Not enough reviews on it yet

It was super fast while it worked

About three weeks in I was having random reboot issues and it would come up with no os drive detected error. A power down and power up would make it come back and work for awhile. At a month it finally died for good

This is my first SSD and my decision was based on a replacing my current laptop for a new one. What a difference! Laptop responds much faster and take fulls advantage of the extra money spent on a very fast processer and ram about a year ago. There is...

my low score was 7.2 but now decided to edit my registry and change to AHCI mode. well my lowest win 7 x64 score is now 7.4 and its not because the ssd. it scored a 7.6 ; great investment

still none...... rock solid

this lovely thing screams !!!!!!!! fully worth having...awesome price for its speed... my windows score went from lowest score of 5.4 to 7.2..............thumbs up

none

Very fast. Silent. Supports TRIM. Usable size. Includes a 3-1/2" mounting frame and screws

Still pricey. Included frame threaded on the sides, not the bottom, so I could not secure it in the drive tray of an Antec Sonata III

Fast data transfers. A single SSD scored better than a raid 0 of 4 7200rpm hard drives. I raid 0 two of these in a MacBook. Very very fast, program load times are nearly instantaneous. Lower power consumption than stock spinning hard drive

Costly, draws more power than other SSDs
