Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: It's so fast. Windows 7 Ultimate boots in under 20 seconds.
Cons: I have been getting these long pauses where it seems to be freezing the whole OS for anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. I've tweaked a lot of settings in bios but can't find a whole lot of help from PQI on the issue.
Other Thoughts: I was given this drive as an unexpected birthday present (they of course bought it from NewEgg) and was really ecstatic at first, but these freezes are really annoying.

Unreliable
Reviewed By: Marc on 1/24/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Priced aggressively (when I bought it.)
Cons: Failed irrecoverably after less than a month of light use.
Significantly slower than my OCZ Vertex (which I expected) and even an old 7200 RPM mechanical drive (which surprised me.)
Other Thoughts: I've had nothing but great experiences w/ SSDs until this one, and this one got the easiest load of all the others. (My OCZ 30G and G-Skill 128G are both OS drives, rock-solid. This one failed while idling.)
We'll see whether pqi is helpful with an RMA, but if their website is any indication I'm going to have to ship to Taiwan at my own expense, and wait who-knows-how-long for a replacement.
I've always liked pqi RAM, but I will steer clear of their other products in future.

Solid State Speed
Reviewed By: on 1/14/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice and fast. Windows 7 comes out of hiberation ultra fast with this drive.
Cons: Expensive compared to normal drives of comparable capacity, but that's what you get when you buy solid state. Not as fast as it could be--the technology still has to mature a bit more.
Other Thoughts: I read guides claiming that Windows 7 makes various changes to itself to accomodate an SSD. This is *NOT TRUE*, you have to do it yourself. It's not difficult, just run a search on optimization techniques and you can do it easily.
