My system is now complete
- Pros: After installing these all week a work. I just had to buy one for myself. If you have a high end computer like myself, it is not complete until you have a fast SSD. The retail version comes with a mounting bracket. This one comes with a free CoolerMaster Scout case. Free bracket or CoolerMaster Scout? Which one is the better deal?
- Cons: If you want High Performance. You have to pay a high premium. Don't bother with the WD Raptors or SAS drives.
Once my wife finds out that I bought a hard drive for $300 I will be sleeping on the couch for a month.
- Other Thoughts: You can have an i7 rig with 2 GTX 285 or an ATI 5870 but you're computer won't be a high end machine until you have a SSD. The hard drive is the biggest bottleneck so upgrade that first and you will see very promising results. Today, CPUs are fast, RAM is fast, GPUs are fast. Now with the evolution of SSDs, hard drives are fast.
Yes you can argue that 3 or 4 Raptor drives in RAID-0 will give you similar performance and a much bigger size, but will have a higher failure rate and have to go through the hassle of installing raid drivers. Imaging off RAID is a pain as well. SAS drives are even more expensive than this drive and aren't as fast.
I like it =D
- Pros: Fast - I think my perspective might be a bit exaggerated because I'm coming from a ~5 year old computer, but this with an i5 has changed the way I do things. I love how restarting my system is not an annoyance any more. It shuts down and boots back up very fast, and as soon as the desktop appears, you can click on a program and it starts up. None of that waiting at the desktop for everything to "really" finish loading.
Small - My case (antec mini 80) can either mount an HD rack OR a front intake fan. I was able to put my storage mechanical HD in the one available 5.25" slots (with an adapter) and just have this sitting on the bottom of the mobo compartment shelf. This allowed me to mount both 120mm intake fans, which is nice.
- Cons: Expensive - 80gb. ~290 bucks. And to think I was trying to stick to a "budget" build.
Low capacity
As of right now, there's a firmware update issue. I got a drive with 02G9 firmware, and can't update to 02HA because some people reported issues and intel took it down. you need 02HA for windows 7 TRIM support, which is not possible 'til intel finishes another revision.
If you find an 02HA download, don't try it. watch the official intel site for a fixed release.
- Other Thoughts: It comes with a sticker!
I'm disappointed by how many of my new components didn't come with stickers. Video card? Nope. Mobo? Nope. CPU? Nope. Storage device? Hells yeah!

Wrong Intel part
- Pros: I bought one of these from Newegg 2 months ago. The system worked great... Now I'm building a clone of that system... so I'm ordering the same parts.
- Cons: This time Newegg sent me a different item: SSDSA1M080G201
I can't even use this SSDSA1 because it doesn't have a standard SATA power plug
RMA time
Love it.
- Pros: +Super fast
+Super quiet +Super Reliable.
- Cons: - EXPENSIVE. But you knew that.
- Other Thoughts: I've hade to rebuild PC's 4 times in 10 years because of HDD failures. It is annoying and I am hoping that the MTBF gets me all the way thru to my next build or OS install at my discretion..... So far I am very happy.
7.5mm, NOT 9.5mm
- Pros: The drive is crazy-fast, etc etc... you've heard it all before. That's why I gave it 4 stars.
- Cons: Newegg, you are listing this drive as a 9.5mm drive, which would indicate that it ships with the 2mm spacer attached WHICH IS ALSO IN THE PHOTOS.
That is not the case... they are NOT including the spacer, so you receive a 7.5mm drive. Change the listed specs (and photos) or start shipping spacers, newegg.
