4 out of 5 eggsSnappy, needs some work

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Extremely fast, great price, decent storage.

Cons: Took some work to get it working on my rig. The OS was recognizing the drive, but not the BIOS.

Solution:
ENABLE TRIM SUPPORT. If your OS or BIOS doesn't support TRIM, it's simple enough to find a free app to enable it. Should clear everything up. Also get the firmware update from the Intel website, just in case.

Other Thoughts: Go for it, its at a great price right now.

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing!

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Insanely fast.
Power on to recording audio in about 25 seconds in part thanks to this drive.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: This is coming from someone who only ever used spinning drives, mind you, but people told me to go up to the 700 series and I'm glad I saved the money. This is a huge leap and makes my life so much easier...

4 out of 5 eggsI like it

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Fast.quiet.
Comes with downloadable customized Acronis cloning.

Cons: Intel SSD Toolbox software seems to have been neglected.
The Toolbox suggests that the TRIM cleanup "Optimizer" should be scheduled to run automatically once a week. My understanding is that if TRIM is working there is no reason to run the Optimizer. Optimizer performs TRIM-like clean up for systems with pre-Win 7 systems and those that don't have driver support for TRIM.
You can Windows"FSUTIL" to test whether TRIM is working.

Other Thoughts: 240 gigs really is plenty for me.
You can easily clone from a bigger drive to a smaller drive as long as there is room on the smaller drive for all the data. Acronis handles this for you.
I like the "240" gig vs "256" gig. I think this means you are "overprovisioned" so you have more spare areas in case problems develop.

5 out of 5 eggsFast SDD

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Installed in a Toshiba Qosmio laptop running Win 7. Lightening FAST! The HD was easy to install in my laptop. Boots up in seconds. Desktop with gadgets load in an instant. Applications pop open and run smoothly. Cloned my current HDD and it fired right up..no hiccups.

Cons: The only thing that I could consider a con was that their literature showed an adapter (not included) to connect the SDD to a laptop so that the HDD contents could be migrated to the SDD. It would have made it easier if it was noted in their description. Had to clone my HDD to a portable drive and then to the SDD.

Other Thoughts: Other than the laptop adapter, everything was included in the box to install the SDD in a desktop, including the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter tray. Dollar for dollar, this is the best upgrade that you can do to increase the speed of your PC.

5 out of 5 eggsWhite lightning

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Boots windows in....3 seconds?

Quick, reliable, powerful.

Cons: I guess with anything Intel, if you are on a budget, this isn't for you? Not really a Con I guess.

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: haven't placed it in yet

Cons: I didn't get the accessories with the ssd such as the bracket and laptop spacer. I don't know if you guys forgot to ship it with it cause all I got was the drive.

3 out of 5 eggsNIce drive, terrible package

This review is from: Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW240A4K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Fast. I'm hoping it will prove to be reliable but time will tell.

Cons: Poor included hardware

Other Thoughts: The fit and finish of the included hardware and the mounting holes in the drive are completely unacceptable. As another review mentioned, the included screws are too long and bottom out in the drive before the included bracket tightens up. I ended up using an adapter bracket I already had which mounted to the drive from the side instead of the bottom. I had to run a tap in the holes to clean them up enough to use them.
No big deal as long as you have an M3x0.6mm tap on hand like most computer builders do...
