This review is from: SAMSUNG 470 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-5PA128/US
Pros:
Great SSD. Used it to replace the OEM drive in my netbook (Asus EEE PC 1015PEM). Couldn't be happier with the speed boost, low power consumption and ability to take a beating. I get almost 8 hours of life out of my netbook, and can wave it around without fear of head crashes.
Cons:
No issues as of yet.
Overall Review:
I used clonezilla to migrate to this SSD. After resizing all the partitions to fit, I backed up each partition and restored them onto the SSD. With linux, all I had to do was re-write the GRUB MBR and reset the fstab UUIDs. Win7 put up a much bigger fight, however, and I ended up using a boot thumb drive to get a recovery console and re-initialize the drives and boot records. I'd recommend re-installing windows, rather than trying to migrate it. Linux migrates fine with only a few tweaks, though. Gotta love open source, eh?
