This review is from: OCZ Octane 2.5" 256GB SATA III 2Xnm Synchronous Mode Multi-Level Cell (MLC) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCT1-25SAT3-256G
Pros:
When it was working, the speed difference in boot time and program loading was phenomenal. Didn't work long enough for me to evaluate any other pros such as laptop battery life and temperature.
Cons:
Worked for less than a day and then became unusable - not recognized by the BIOS, OS or OCZ's toolbox. Before I installed it I updated the firmware and the drive disappeared; I had to disconnect the power from my laptop before it was recognized again.
Overall Review:
Newegg states "Limited Replacement Only Return Policy" when it's in your cart (which I didn't see) but on this page (review) it states "Standard Return Policy". To make it more confusing the "Limited Replacement Only Return Policy" in this case turns out to be a "No Replacement, No Return Policy" - you have to RMA it through OCZ. I just bought a 500 GB Crucial M4 SSD elsewhere (can't believe it won't let me put their name in there) - they will replace it or give me a refund if there's a problem so, needless to say, I won't be buying anything from Newegg again.
