Pros: So I finally bit the bullet and purchased my first SSD. The reason why I purchased this model was for two reasons. First...I read really good reviews about Kingston SSD's and Second...it came with the HDD cloning software. I must say that I'm very impressed of the difference it made in my two and half year old Asus laptop. My boot time went to from about one minute to 22 seconds! I also noticed that my Windows 7 and other programs seem to be running a lot smoother than it ever did before, most noticeable in Photoshop while making my website graphics. The only problem that I had was a mistake on my part. When cloning your HDD, you must boot your computer from the CD which has the cloning software. I was still trying to boot from the HDD. It took me a few times before realizing my mistake. After I figured out what I did wrong, the cloning process was simple. I highly recommend this drive if you are in the market to upgrade your computer!

Cons: None

Pros: Well it worked good for just over a year.

Cons: I have read that some SSD's crash within a few months or have lasted a couple of years. My drive split the difference...just dying in just over a year's time. Over the past few weeks, my drive had started crashing for no reason. Ran multiple drive scans and virus scans and everything came back with no errors or viruses. Then finally today...it bit the bullet. I can access the drive and will not so up on any other computer I hook it up too.
