Good for the price,but not exceptional

This review is from: PNY XLR8 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSD9SC120GMDF-RB
Pros:
-(relatively) fast
-works with no problems
-MADE IN THE USA
Cons:
I got this for a budget build for my brother. In real world performance, it feels little different than my Samsung 830. System boots and is on the desktop in under 20 seconds. However, benchmarking software gives results that leave much to be desire. They are nowhere near my Samsung (understandable) but also nowhere near the quoted speeds given my PNY
Also, firmware support and support on PNY's website is abysmal. PNY should create it's own SSD utility like Samsung's SSD Magician for easy monitoring and Firmware updating.
Overall Review:
If you're on a really tight budget, and want the peace of mind and extra speeds of an SSD, even if it is sub par for an SSD in this class range, this is a good option, given the price. Only time will tell how long it will last.
