ADATA S510 Series AS510S3-60GM-C 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: I bought this drive as a boot drive and it does the job perfectly. I am coming from a laptop with a hybrid HDD/SSD, and this blows it out of the park. Install was flawless and it took the OS without a problem. For it to go from cold to fully running is about 15 seconds, and that's not an exaggeration. Just make sure your tower can support a 2.5" drive, or else buy a mount for your hard drive bay.

Cons: This was my first time running a separate drive for my OS vs, having everything run off of the C drive. As such, I wasn't sure how much space I would need and tried to save a few bucks by going smaller. Keep in mind that you are going to need space for all your system files and the other little things that automatically place themselves in the C drive. After everything was said and done, I only had about 12 Gb or so free. Seeing as I want this to be the drive I want to use for awhile, I opted to purchase a larger drive, going with a 240Gb SSD

Other Thoughts: Overall, a great drive, just a little smaller than I needed it. Not going to downvote it for that though, because that is not the fault of the drive. If you know that 60Gb is going to be enough for you, then absolutely buy this drive, it's a fantastic product and a great deal.

Pros: Great for appliance build with 6GB SATA and Sandforce controller. Really fast throughput when used for database rebuilds.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: I like these SSDs esp. when they are on sale. Go Newegg!

Pros: works great
fast speeds
easily configurable

Cons: read other thoughts

Other Thoughts: ok for the people that are getting BSOD its because of a driver related issue. after that it works perfectly. (also make sure ur bios aren't running hard drives in IDE mode) very happy with it.

Pros: worked perfectly, used free cloning software

Cons: it wasn't free

Pros: Easy to install worked right off the box. Excellent price at 60$ for 60gb. Significant improvement over conventional hard drive when booting up, loading games installing apps.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Basic System specs:
Phenom II 940
6gb Ram
Nvidia GTX 460
Win 7 Home premium 64b

Pros: Price for 60Gb $1/GB

Cons: Died after 3 days.

Pros: Works well. No issues. Good value at $1/GB.

Cons: I had to break off two tiny little plastic tabs to get it to fit in my laptop (the old HDD's case ended short and the SATA pins stuck out so it wasn't a problem before).
This is a problem with the laptop though, not the SSD.

Other Thoughts: -GPT+grub2+arch linux installed on my laptop without any problems
-Using ext4 with discard and noatime options
-Using SATA 3GB/s, not 6GB/s
-Average read speed (hdparm -t) = 330MB/S - a lot better than the WD HDD I had before (which clocked in around 80MB/s).

Pros: worked great for 5 days

Cons: dead on day 6

Pros: Never used it

Cons: Carefull about ordering this with a rebate. The rebate listed was for Canada and not for the US. Tried to contact Newegg and ADATA and neither of them were any help.

Other Thoughts: I have ordered ADATA SSDs before and have sent off rebates for here in the US. I am disappointed that they misguided me by giving a rebate for a different country.
