This review is from: Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2MH080G2R5
Pros:
Incredibly fast for a single drive. These things make a wondrous boot or gaming drive. a good read of 240MB/s never hurt anyone..... xP definitely one of the fastest things around. personally I prefer SAS drives, but once these come down in price more, they're definately going to be a force to be reckoned with....
Cons:
Price, and reliability is still semi-questionable....but you can't beat it for performace / $, SAS drives are better for size, but are much more pricey yet.....
Overall Review:
Had 2 of these in RAID0 but got burned by the Intel update (which was only up for a day I might add) one of the drives was empty and survived the fault, while the other failed and was RMA'd though due to shortage I got a refund instead of a replacement. $300.00 back into my wallet isn't bad, but I have to say I like my good ol' rotational platters...reliability is good.
