Quieter than a whisper, less power-hungry than a mechanical drive, able to leap off your tabletop while running and probably survive. Look in My Computer: it's . . . well, it looks like an ordinary hard drive, doesn't it?
Far from ordinary, though, this 32 GB solid state hard drive Transcends its electro-mechanical counterparts. Using the standard 2.5 inch form factor and the common IDE (ATA) interface, it looks like a meek mild-mannered hard drive, but having no moving parts, it is shock resistant to an unprecedented degree, and is not "virtually silent", it IS silent. Smaller power requirements mean less heat generated and longer battery life.
Whether you like using your laptop while jouncing across the veldt on safari or you just don't want your five year old to break the drive again, this may very well be the drive for you. We'll wait right here while you decide for yourself.

Depends what you're looking for
- Pros: Completely silent, good seek time. It should be reliable (no problems yet, but that doesn't mean much).
- Cons: Very slow write speed, and slow sustained read speed.
- Other Thoughts: I wanted a completely silent computer, so I bought this, which was the cheapest 32GB SSD at the time. I don't regret it, but if you are looking for high performance, look elsewhere. The fast seek time makes up somewhat for the slow read speed, but when writing a lot, it is much slower than a traditional hdd. The disk seems to have a buffer which fills up quickly, so when writing a large file, my computer is completely unresponsive for intervals of several seconds.
Horible
- Pros: none
- Cons: so slow as to be unusable. Transcend support nonexistant
- Other Thoughts: I bought 10 of these at various prices as Newegg didn't have enough. The price was dropping very quickly as Newegg realized how bad they are. They should have taken off the market.

32 Gb Solid State Disk
- Pros: Makes a laptop feel faster and less sensitive to bumps
- Cons: According to research, can wear out from repeated reads & writes
- Other Thoughts: When installing Linux, use a non-journaled file system to avoid the extra reads & writes
Not Sure About All The Bad Reviews
- Pros: Reasonably fast, quiet, affordable, and perfect for my embedded system. Don't quite understand the speed complaints as I installed XPe (basically XP Pro without the fluff like messenger and WMP) in less than 15 min an get from XPe starting screen to desktop in 7 seconds. Post screen to desktop is 12 seconds. As mine will be going into a special application and boot up will happen only 5-6 times a year the telling will be in the longevity not speed. See "other thoughts below".
- Cons: None yet
- Other Thoughts: Bought 7 of these things for a PC based controls project in an extreme environment. High heat, high moisture, dust and oil condensate (sluge) are all on the menu where these things will be living. My proof of concept has this drives baby brother (8Gb model) installed and has gone over a year with no documented crashes and less than 10 hours off (as in continuously running for almost 10,000 hours) with no issues whatsoever. The idea is to get the prone to failure HDD's out of service and put these in place. Hopefully these 32Gb drives will be as durable as the 8.
- Pros: For me, this drive worked really well in my Nomad Zen Xtra MP3 player. I bang this player up really bad since I use it at work all the time, and I'm constantly having hard drives go bad due to me dropping the player or bumping it at just the wrong moment. I was able to install this drive, and load my music into the zen player, and listen to MP3's just fine.
- Cons: As expected, it took longer than usual to load the music into the player.
This drive would certainly not be suitable as a main drive for a OS, but it is useful as a drive to backup your data, or in my case, to put into a MP3 player that uses the 2.5" form factor HD.
