- Pros: Works well in a unibody macbook. Boot times are amazing. VMware brings XP out of suspension in about 5 seconds. Safari launches instantaneously and Office 2008 takes about 1 second to launch. Simply put, this is the best upgrade you can do for a mac laptop.
- Cons: Still rather expensive.
- Other Thoughts: Xbench results:

Very satisfied with that SSD
- Pros: Blazing fast, giving me read speed of 215MB/s on SATA2 and 126MB/s on SATA1 interface without any tweaks from OCZ forums. Noiseless. No stuttering. My 2-year old Windows vista boots up in 40 seconds from cold start. Freshly installed Windows 7 boots up in 20-25 seconds even on my SATA1.
- Cons: Nothing I am aware of so far.
- Other Thoughts: Installed in my old DELL XPS M1210. This laptop has SATA1 interface only, so I limited to SATA1 bandwidth. Regardless, its 126MB/s compared to native Hitachi 7200RPM with 49MB/s. Didn't do any tweaks or anything. Just unpacked, and put it to my laptop. Cloned my old 100GB harddrive onto Vertex using Acronis True Image in 30 minutes. Vertex works just fine, would recommend to everyone.

Dont buy OZC SSD compete rip off
- Pros: I bought this for my MSI laptop. I got this as SSD Delivers peace of mind (no moving parts) Super Fast. Installed windows 7 with no problems. It worked great until it didn't.
- Cons: Has a great new feature I call it CIF complete instant failure the SSD just died. I call into into OCZ and found the only thing more useless then a broken SSD is OZC tech support.
Apparently they don't offer data recovery and if I send the SSD back they just try to repair they just send me a new one because after all who would want all that important data back definitely not the people who payed for a SSD. And here is the really cool part if I do send my data to get repaired (they have to open cover) I void my warranty so not only will OCZ not solve the problem they wont let anyone else either.
I would not suggest not buying SSD;s from OZC
Very disappointed I will update this if OCZ decides to be useful point at this point seems if they are leaving me high and dry.
So Far Go Go
- Pros: Came with 1.5 Firmware. Win7 Installed without issue and Trim activated. Very Fast loading. Cut Boot time in half (or more).
- Cons: Still pricey. Did not come with mounting kit for 3.5" bay like some competition.
- Other Thoughts: Would seem that one could devise a app that would move some windows folders, such as "Document" and "Video"s., to spinner with a few clicks. Yes, I know it can be done in Windows but, I waisted some time finding out how and I'm reasonablely familure with the op sys.
Good speed, when it's alive
- Pros: Very fast, was incredibly happy with it initially.
- Cons: After six months in an MBP, it died very suddenly. Computer locked up one day, couldn't boot from it afterwards. Couldn't even get it mounted or run fsck.
I RMA'd it, which took a bit longer than I'd have liked, and the replacement immediately died.
I'm not going to bother waiting another 2 months to get another one, so I'll just write this off as a rather expensive loss.
- Other Thoughts: Would be a great product if it lasted longer than 6 months / 48 hours respectively.
