Pros: -Faster than my RAID0 7200RPM 80GB drives -Applications launch almost instantly -Pretty good price for the size of the drive. -Rebate has been processed and I'm now just waiting for it to come back in the mail. -If you're looking for the fastest, most reliable SSD go with the intel X25-M G2 or Crucial C300, but if you're more concerned with volume per dollar this is a good option.

Cons: -The occasional stutter but I haven't taken the time to look into the problem and possible fixes. -It does a disk check more often than my other drives. I'm not sure if this is due to the drive or other things I've been working on. -Poor packaging. Newegg mailed this in a bubble lined bag. These drives are more durable than traditional hard drives but their not indestructible.

Pros: - second nvme port - number key pad - great cooling, with normal use I dont hear the fans at all

Cons: - secondary disk is a spinning disk. I wish it would have been an SSD

Overall Review: This is my first MSI laptop and Im impressed with the cooling, quiet fans and second nvme port that you often dont see on desktop motherboards. It has been a great laptop so far and fits our needs well.
