N/A 3/21/2013 10:19:01 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 4/5Speedy performance Pros: Shipping firmware is v 5.0.6 Assembled in USA of foreign components (hopefully that means the QA is higher than average) Cons: Not as fast as Samsung 840 Pro Does not fit some notebooks PNY utility software is basic Other Thoughts: Too early to tell if endurance lives up to claim. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Buji 2/9/2013 8:35:54 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great drive Pros: Read and write speeds exceeded my expectations. Raid0'd a couple and haven't looked back. Cons: None. Never read anything in the specs about trim support, so I didn't expect to hear a lot of whining about it. Having mine in raid was not for trim support anyway. Other Thoughts: Never read anything in the specs about trim support, so I had no expectations for it. Having mine in raid was not for trim support anyway. Most owners will never update the firmware themselves, and again, no trim support advertised, so any of you who know not what firmware updates are about, leave that to more serious hardware guru's. This is still a great drive. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Lsi 11/27/2012 3:01:16 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Don't buy until PNY gets serious Pros: fast Sandforce SATA3 controller high end 10k P/E cycle Intel flash sturdy chassis temperature sensor value for enterprise-grade flash Cons: long track record of zero firmware support still ships with known broken TRIM firmware 5.0.2 no mounting bracket included SATA cable is ridiculously short buggy & unreliable web presence for support ships in foam sleeve vs antistatic bag Other Thoughts: Until PNY gets serious about selling SSD products and accepts the reality that selling SSDs unequivocally means providing firmware support, they don't deserve success in the modern SSD market. Website and support contacts are mostly unstable or broken / don't work. Even attempts to contact via OEM reseller channels is not reliable. For a company that has been in around for so long, they seem to be a bit of a chaotic mess with priorities seriously out of order. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?

caveman1969 11/3/2012 11:38:03 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Great drive but not so great Pros: Good quality craftsmanship , read write speeds are right up there with the Kingston Hyper x 120GB drive. 10K endurance and a 5 year warranty. Cons: Bad firmware trim is broken. If PNY would fix the trim issue this would be a great drive. PNY tech support is a joke, when I contacted them the first time they claimed to have no idea that the firmware was bad. When I contacted tech support the 2nd time the supervisor of tech support informed me that they were aware of the problem but had no intentions of fixing the problem in the near future and if trim was an issue for me then I should contact newegg and ask for an RMA , Which is exactly what I did. Thank you newegg for being understanding. The PNY tech supervisor also told me that if they were ever to have an update release on the firmware they would post it on their site just like they do for all of their products. I encourage everyone to look at their site. I found no updates of anything for any of their products of any kind. Other Thoughts: If PNY wants to sell these drives they need to update their firmware. If they did that they couldn't keep these on the shelf. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/14/2012 11:14:36 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5	Rating: 3/5Appears To Be A Great Drive Pros: 10K endurance and decent advertised speeds. Three star because of price and firmware, see cons. Cons: The picture shows Firmware 5.0.2 which is known to have broken TRIM. If PNY would update the FW I see this thing flying off the shelf. According to their site there is no update. What a shame. I'd love to try it but not worth the risk unless they update it or Newegg just wants to donate one to me :) Price is not really a con for 10K. Other Thoughts: I have not really looked for a good review as any you find will be with the bad FW. I can't believe there is not another user review here. Has anyone bought one? Like I said, I expect these to move they day of the update!!! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
