It's not often that even our products rate 5.0 from 100% of our reviewers, but as of this writing, twelve own it and twelve love it. There's a variety of reasons why you might want to buy a solid state hard drive, and this one pretty much meets them all.
It's tough (1500 Gs shock rating; an airplane's "black box" is rated at 3400 Gs). It supports RAID operations. It uses less power than a conventional hard drive, so it also generates less heat. It's SILENT. It uses the 2.5 inch form factor and SATA II, so installation is just like any other hard drive. It's reliable: two million hours mean time between failures (MTBF). Put your information on this 32 GB drive and it will probably out live you.
Only you know what you actually need, but for laptops or other rugged environments, this one is hard to beat. So look into it and let us know what you decide.

SSD = Super Speedy Drive
- Pros: Drive significantly increases startup time and program loading. Using Vista 64 with 4gb of ram and e6000@3.3ghz Startup time was cut in half. 15s from power-on to reach vista logo, 35 to reach desktop, and total of 45s for all startup programs to be loaded. This previously took around 1.5 to 2minutes. Most Adobe programs open in under 5 seconds but prefetch could be helping somewhat. Using a computer for a living you can't afford your operating system drive crashing on you in the middle of projects which was currently happening to me. One of these will probably outlive a human by a few decades whereas I've had a raptor that died two times in 3 years.
- Cons: Expensive for the size but it is a cutting edge piece of machinery. Have to use other drives for installing games and media but not such a bad thing if you have more drives.
HD Tach says average read is 95mb/s. Good but not quite 100. Don't have the version that tests write speeds but installations seem to go about same speed as regular drive.
- Other Thoughts: I put all my usual startup programs (winamp, avast antivirus, extensis suitcase, aim, objectdock, rainlendar) on this drive along with full Adobe CS3 Design edition with 5gb set for page file and have 5gb remaining of free space. Everything else is low priority and on my regular 800gb of storage.
Drive is barely larger than an Ipod and about same weight.
RE: Blasco
- Pros: Evident
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: Blasco, Your rig has 4 GB of memory and you have a 5GB page file? Try running no page file at all and let that memory breathe. Why are your boot times so slow? XP and Vista on this drive boot up in seconds. You say it used to take 1.5 to 2 minutes for Vista64 to boot up in a rig with a 3.3 Ghz processor? HUH?! The majority of reviews @ Newegg make me want to stamp "FAIL" across the text.

- Pros: Super fast. Super quiet.
- Cons: No 3.5" adapter to fix it in the computer case. Never had one before.
- Other Thoughts: No screws to fix it in the case so it's just hanging from a wire.
SSDs the future of storage
- Pros: Ultra reliable drive with no moving parts. Everything is MUCH more responsive vs. a 5400RPM 2.5" HDD, to say the least. Tried and true SLC design with great compatibility - no issues like upgrading firmware, etc.
- Cons: This is a previous generation drive and not as fast as newer SSDs now hitting the market
- Other Thoughts: Disk rating of 6.5 in Windows 7 public beta build 7000
Excellent Device
- Pros: Easy to install, presumably much, much more reliable than a spinning disk (2,000,000 hour mtbf spec, how did they come up with that number?). No problem formatting as NTFS. Formatted in something like a minute, installed XP SP3 in <25 minutes. Programs seem to run fast.
- Cons: I didn't care, but it didn't come with a mounting bracket, but is is so small, light and cool I just let it hang off the power cable.
- Other Thoughts: Does not seem to generate heat, at least the way I use it. I have heard other people had problems with SSDs being recognized but my install went more smoothly than any spinning disk I have installed. If this doesn't crash for the next 4 years or so I will be in LOVE.
