Corsair Force Series GS CSSD-F240GBGS-BK 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Corsair Force Series GS CSSD-F240GBGS-BK 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Does what it is supposed to do...quickly.

I like the look of it...makes me sad that I can't see it once installed in my case.

Cons: The included 3.5 adapter plates did not properly align the drives with the sata connections in my quick-mount drive slots. They're just a millimeter or so too far to the left. I ended up buying Icydock enclosures for them (hence not being able to see them now). The mounting holes on the sides were also lacking, as two of the holes required to properly mount the tray to my caddy were not there. Just plain poor adapter plate design.

This was a rather large annoyance and is the only reason this product lost an egg.

Other Thoughts: Corsair has become a trusted name in my builds, and this drive does not disappoint...even if the mounting plate does.

Pros: FAST as long as it worked (ie, I built the system on 3rd and 11 the SSD disappeared from Bios)

Cons: All of a sudden the WIN-7 froze and cannot access anything upon restart the drive disappeared from Bios. changed the cable, port etc... no avail. I moved the SSD to an other computer where I have an Intel SSD. But again no avail. I think the Corsair GS240GB is busted. My DVD drive is visible and it changes ports as I move it so ports are good cable is good. I can see a red LED inside the SSD, it used to turn into green while running ok. I guess I am gogin ask for a refund or RMA.

Pros: Fast, and good capacity

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: No problems. Installed as my OS drive for windows 7, ina Xeon 3.5Ghz machine. Boots from off to ready to go in 15 seconds, and that makes me happy.

Pros: As described. very happy

Cons: none

Pros: reasonably fast

Cons: crapped out after 7 weeks. Had to push Corsair to arrange a will call replacement at their Hayward wh but they did do it. Otherwise their RMA process is 7-10 days. Wouldn't do an upgrade to their top series even though I offered to pay the difference.

Other Thoughts: Not dinging Corsair for this but I wish SSD manufacturers would put a leds on the ssd to indicated a) power, b) read activity, c) write activity and d) status - working right or failed. Would be ideal if their were header pins on the drive so that the lights could be remotely mounted.

Pros: I am very happy with this product, blazing fast and color is perfect for my system.

Cons: none

Pros: Bought this when it was on sale, SOOOO worth the money. I cant see my self ever having to go back to a standard Harddrive unless i need 1 or 2T of space.

Cons: Absolutely none

Pros: Don't know, have not been able to get it to stay mounted for more than a minute or two.

Cons: Claims to be SATAII backward compatible and OS X compatible. So far I am batting 0%. I have tried multiple SATAII USB enclosures and multiple Macs (from 10.5.8 to 10.8.2) and if it mounts at all, it only stays mounted for a very short while before it "unexpectedly" disappears. I need to copy my existing system disk to it using USB before I can swap out my existing HD from my older Macbook Pro and install this. Wasted many hours across two days trying to make it work. Newegg won't take it back since I was 1 day late in asking for an RMA (due to Fedex delivering it several days late and I missed a window of opportunity to do the upgrade which was postponed a few weeks, pushing me to the end of the return window -- thanks Newegg!)

Other Thoughts: I will be buying a Samsung 840 SSD. I have used several to do similar upgrades in the last 2 months to my older Macs and they have functioned great! Corsair won't be getting any of my SSD purchasing money since their shot at impressing me failed miserably.

Pros: Great drive works well, really speeded up my computer start up times. Would be 5 eggs, but I had a little problem with the date on the invoice for the rebate see below.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: When you want to a rebate, make sure the dates are correct for the rebate period. I purchased this drive late in the day and the invoice I printed the next day showed the invoice was processed that day and was past the invoice period. I went back into my orders on Newegg and printed out another invoice that had the correct date and time of purchase and that was accepted by Corsair. My only complaint about Corsair, is the correct date was in the body of the invoice and Corsair would not use it. I have always been happy with Corsair products in the past. Now I am past this misunderstanding, I will buy their products in the future. I will just be more careful with the paper work for rebates.

FX 8650 4.0 GHz amd CPU, ASUS sabertooth 990FX MB, 16 Gig ram, Dual AMD Radeon 6800 cards running in crossfire. All from Newegg.

Pros: The drive it self is working fine. I used Paragon Migrate os to SSD and everything transfered to the SSD. I work out of my home using AutoCAD, the program loads in half the time and drawings come up in less than half the time. Windows starts in about 1/3 the time or less. I am happy with the switch to SSD.

Cons: None other than Corsair's rebate program.....

Other Thoughts: Corsair is being difficult about the rebate. There was a one day promotion on the SSD and I bought it after 6:00 in the evening. Newegg dated the invoice the next day, eventhough I bought it on the day of the promotion, Corsair denied the rebate. I will never buy another Corsair product.
