Read performance is excellent for an SSD of this price. Games that use Texture Streaming systems like Crysis will benefit with drives like this due to the virtually non-existent seek time.
It has TRIM support. If you want an SSD, you will want a drive with support for TRIM, so that performance doesn't go down the tubes as it fills up. Remember only Windows 7 has support for TRIM.
Write performance is decent, large file writes are best, small writes can cause a little stuttering.
Annoying bracket, since SSD's lack moving parts, I just taped it to the side of my comp case.
You won't get a lot on this drive. I got windows 7 and Crysis to fit with only a few GB's left. If you want to keep your entire library of games on an SSD, you'll need a much bigger one. With this one, you might have to swap games.
Do NOT disable the paging file with an SSD. Many apps are designed to use the paging file and will crash without it. Disabling it will not increase performance.
Do NOT disable Superfetch, unless you have very little RAM (under 2GB). Superfetch will still improve performance when loading commonly used apps, even with SSD's.
Do NOT disable Prefetching. It does not cache stuff in RAM, it just index's often used app's DLL locations. The prefetch folder rarely is larger than 4MB.
Move the pagefile to a Hard Drive. Not only will the pagefile quickly kill an SSD due to the massive amounts of writes required, you'll get a lot of stuttering due to small writes being an area most SSD's suck at. If you want performance, get a RAM Disk for the pagefile.
Don't disable Texture Streaming Systems in games like Crysis, or force preloading of game data. The SSD will serve up data extremely fast on the fly, forcing everything into RAM will just waste RAM space, for a very minimal quality boos
Very Very Fast
Failed quickly
Bad tech support
I purchased two of these to run in RAID and one of the two failed within two weeks.. And tech support has been an all out nightmare.
