Pros: Been solid for over a year in a pfSense router. Obviously not doing much writing.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Can only comment on their near-idle reliability, not write-intensive workload reliability or speed.

Pros: I watched a video with a Patriot rep and decided to check out their claims of high speeds. I do note boot times with this are significantly faster than other SSD's I have tried from WD and Seagate. The speed comes at a premium. It is my boot drive for Windows 10 and I wanted a small size so I could take advantage of the security aspect of having a small drive (viruses have a harder time if they cannot install themselves due to lack of space in the Windows host drive) and the video interview made me a believer. Now after one year I am buying a 120GB one to hold some more games as well as some flash tabs from them. Not one single issue with this drive as a daily workhorse and with a Windows 10 upgrade. It is good looking - red and white or white and black depending on your aesthetic preference when you open up the backside of the PC. They are lightweight but the case is just to fit standard sizing, little of it is probably the actual drive itself.

Cons: Pricier than average but you do get what you pay for.

Other Thoughts: Great size for Windows 10 which is smaller than Windows 8 if you did not know. Install your other progs on another SSD. A few other progs will fit on this with Windows, but not much. Do not expect to get by using this alone in a build. You must have one other hard drive. I use a Western Digital Velociraptor Enterprise edition which is ultra fast 10,000 RPM.

Pros: It works great in an HTPC. I don't store any large files on the system itself, so I just needed a small drive, but I wanted a fast boot time. Works exactly as it should.

Cons: Small storage area, but you know that going into it. Not an issue at all.

Other Thoughts: I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of these if I just wanted a small boot area for another PC. Extremely cheap and great.

Pros: great SSD, super fast speed

Cons: bout twice a week it just blue screens my computer, no clue why, have to shutdown completely, reset the boot priority in my BIOS (after i get the drive to register again), and it starts fine and works til the next blue screen.

Pros: Was not expensive.

Cons: It has proven to be unreliable after barely any usage.

Pros: Used this little guy in my parents HTPC as a boot/OS drive. With a admitted slower CPU (A4-3400) system still able to boot into Windows 7 in around 30 sec from button press. (Windows 8.1 would boot about 50% faster)

Cons: None for the price.

Other Thoughts: Got it on sale, cheapest ~60GB SSD at the time, while being nowhere near the slowest.

Pros: No data was lost.Was Fast for 5 hours.Then died.

Cons: Lasted 5 hours.Then tried install Mint 17,it would install then a flashing screen.Try other OS and same result.I think a flash drive has more longevity than this SSD.

Other Thoughts: Time to return.
