An incredible change

Reviewed By: trance2 on 11/29/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very fast drive... my applications feel like they just spring up to life when I execute them. This drive definitely breathed new life into my MacBook Pro "Classic" Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and 4GB RAM.

Cons: The price... time will change this. I am sure in a couple of years you will laugh at a 80GB SSD and what we paid for it.

I have yet to notice any considerable battery life increase, probably due in part to the battery needing to be replaced (a high number of cycles on it).

Limited by system bottlenecks

Reviewed By: BigDaddy on 12/4/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: It's a shame that some reviewers are marking this drive down because of limited speeds on "their" systems. With the high tech knowledge they proclaim, they should be aware that their own system chipset is likely limiting the read speeds, not the SSD. These drives will burst to 250mbs easily in systems that aren't bottlenecked elsewhere.

Cons: People not having to prove their high tech knowledge??

Other Thoughts: I have never witnessed a single component change affect performance so much as one of these.

Think I got a bum unit

Reviewed By: exospawn on 11/17/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very fast drive. Great read times.

Cons: Mine seemed defunk. Had issues right out of the gate installing Windows 7 on the unit. Install froze up 2 times. 3rd time it finally managed a complete install.
After that my system would just freeze up randomly.
Finally reinstalled Windows 7 on my old HDD, and have had no problems since. Anytime I try to copy data from the SSD drive to my HDD, the system will freeze up mid copy.
I must have a bad unit, but it's now been 38 days since I got it. (waited another 2 weeks after receiving for windows 7 before I installed the drive)

Other Thoughts: Guess I'll try to exchange with IBM if I can.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: Amazing.. really.
