This review is from: HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G

It's good!!
Cons:
Cons shouldn't be a required field :)
Overall Review:
If you're having trouble updating the firmware using Kingston's "Field Updater" Utility, you may be experiencing a conflict with Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software or the Intel AHCI driver.
The utility would not recognize the drive with firmware revision 501 (501ABBF0.) Once I uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software (which also uninstalled the Intel AHCI driver) and rebooted, the Kingston Field Updater Utility recognized the drive and successfully updated the firmware to revision 503 (503ABBF0.)
After this update, the Kingston Field Updater utility will recognize the drive with or without the Intel RST software and Intel AHCI driver. There must be some incompatibility with revision 501.
