1 out of 5 eggsTwo died in five months

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice

Pros: Other reviews say its slower than other ssds, well I don't have any experience with other ssds but I will say compared my old sata 1 hdd it's crazy fast I can't even begin to compare them. And I guess there are some reviews based on old firmware, but it looks like I missed that set of issues. And seems pretty affordable for a 120 gig ssd

Cons: None yet

1 out of 5 eggsUpdate From Last Review

Pros: Fast, Cheap, worked fine out of the box.

Cons: Died on me about 4 days after making my positive review on this SSD. Worked fine while it lasted, but did not last near as long as it should have.

Other Thoughts: As mentioned above, it worked great while it worked.. Did not last near as long as I would have hoped however.. Will be purchasing a new SSD from another company and hoping I can send this one back to get a replacement as a backup.

5 out of 5 eggsNice and fast, and fits my laptop

Pros: It's thinness makes it compatible with my laptop which requires a 7mm drive. I can get read speeds of 350MB/s, which surprised me because I thought my laptop could only do SATA II.

Includes a plastic thingy that you stick on the side in order for it to sit properly in cases/laptops designed for standard 2.5" drives, which I used to make my old laptop's HDD sit properly in a USB enclosure

Cons: After installing Windows 7 to it I was having an issue where I'd get a WEI of 5.9. running winsat disk in an elevated command was showing I was getting very bad latencys on Long IOs. However, this seemed to have resolved itself once I finished installing all of the Windows updates.

Other Thoughts: There are two things that caused this drive to get such a low score in previous reviews, and both are things you shouldn't experience.

1. Acronis cannot initialize this drive. This seems to be a bug in Acronis and may have been resolved now. Windows can initialize the drive perfectly fine.

2. poor write speeds. This was a problem due to bad firmware that plagued this drive and the 64B version, but that has been resolved. My drive came with the new firmware, and I assume all drives have been updated. However, there may be a rare chance you will get a driv that wasn't reflashed. In which case, Kingsinton has a relatively easy to follow procedure on their website.

4 out of 5 eggsNot bad for the money

Pros: Decent speed, inexpensive, reliable, easy to install and setup.

Cons: As others have mentioned, there is no mounting bracket. Depending on the case you have, this might or might not be an issue.

Slower than other SSDs, but it is also cheaper, so you get what you pay for.

Other Thoughts: Used this HDD for about 10+ months now and have not had a single issue with it. setup just fine, and hasn't crashed on me yet.

Didn't notice when I bought it that the read write speeds were not as high as other SSDs, but that was my own fault. It is still very fast, as a normal boot time is about 5-10 seconds.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Price Good Performance

Pros: Was easy to install.
Cheap for the capacity.
Speeds are great compared to my 7200.

Cons: Maybe no mounting bracket but I didn't expect one.

Other Thoughts: This is my first SSD.

Put this into my computer and did a fresh Win7 Pro 64 install. Running fantastic, no issues recognizing the drive, and it is blazing fast. Shuts down in less than a few seconds. Start time is probably about 10 seconds, maybe less.

As long as it doesn't die on me any time soon I'm extremely happy with it.

5 out of 5 eggsFast and well-priced

Pros: Fast, good price, trustworthy brand, good warranty

It has 4 mounting holes on the bottom, and 2 mounting holes on each side, so you have a couple different options for mounting it.

Cons: Does not come with mounting bracket or even mounting screws, but does come with some sort of sticky mount that I didn't bother figuring out how to use. But for the price, no complaints.
It also does not come with a SATA cable, of course, but to my knowledge, none of these do.

Other Thoughts: It's only one day into ownership here and I actually purchased this to speed up a relative's computer. It had been on an IDE hard drive, but had plenty of SATA ports on new motherboard, so I ordered this unit. Going from the IDE HDD to the SSD was such a huge performance boost. Complete reboot of Windows XP takes about a minute.
I didn't waste any time figuring out what the sticky-sided plastic cheap thing was that they provided in the package. I just drilled holes in the computer's existing hard drive mounting cage and used some extra screws to fasten it. I never throw away screws for this reason.

5 out of 5 eggsFollow Up on prior post

Pros: I could not get Windows 7 to recognize the drive after having used Acronis to format it.
I eMailed Kingston tech support and they told me to use Windows 7 to initialize it.
I did, and it worked perfectly.

Cons: They should include in their instructions the steps required by Windows 7 to get the machine to recognize their drives because Acronis is the program of choice for Seagate and WD and I have used Acronis to initialize/format 50 or more drives including Patriot, Crucial, and would you believe Kingston SSD's
