Pros: I really loved this drive for the first three months -- it's fast and quiet, and my MacBook Pro ran cooler (and longer). It was definitely worth the (higher) price.
Cons: But the drive bricked unexpectedly almost 3 months into it -- it didn't even appear in Disk Utility to be reformatted. Intel offers a cross-return option -- whereby they send out a new drive -- for a $25 fee (in addition to charging a credit card). But what's worse, they don't have replacement SSDs in stock, and it's going to take at least a week (if not two or more) to get a replacement. It's disappointing that Intel can't back up a high-end drive with better service than this.
Other Thoughts: I still love the drive, but think long and hard about using it for mission-critical data. Backup early and often, and save your old hard drive in case you need a spare.

Pros: Very impressive speed. Makes a big difference when used as a system drive, 100% reliable so far. My machine boots significantly faster, but what is even more impressive is how quick any program launches compared to a normal HD. On average I'd say programs load in about 5-10 times faster. It used very little power is absolutely silent.
Cons: In 3 months I haven't found any cons
Other Thoughts: There are cheaper SSDs out there, but keep in mind that you get what you pay for. These Intel drives are way ahead of the competition and if you want that advantage you'll have to pay a premium.
The size is well enough to run Windows Vista 64 or Windows 7 and leaves enough room for data. You get the most out of this drive's performance if you use it as a system drive, not as a second data drive.

Pros: Very fast! Lower power consumption... Almost instant launch of most apps, including IE, MSOffice, QuickBooks and many others...
Cons: I share everyone else's feelings...it will be great when the price comes down... Intel still doesn't have the higher write speeds in their larger drives as offered by Crucial and others...
Other Thoughts: Improved boot time on a Dell Latitude D830 from 6 minutes to 1 minute 30 seconds... Hope to get under 1 minute, but have a lot of apps on this particular machine...and am running Vista Ultimate (32-bit). Getting ready to move from 4gb to 8gb of RAM and upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit... Can't wait to see how it performs then...
