Crucial CT32GBFAB0 2.5" 32GB SATA Internal Solid state disk (SSD)

Pros: HD Tune 2.55 reports average ### 108.6 MB/sec reads ###, access time 0.4 ms, burst rate 43.1 MB/sec, CPU usage 10.0% in my HP2133 Mini-Note (1.2Ghz). Includes 5 year warranty. 32GB size is emough for XP SP2, applications and files. Static write leveling included - extends lifetime. Compatible SATA interface and dimensions as standard 2.5in hard disk. Uses less power (1/2) than normal drive.

Cons: SSD writes are typically slow, rated 60MB/sec sequential on this device vs 80MB/sec on the similar specifications OCZ SSD here at Newegg. This drive is expensive for only 32GB storage. The similar OCZ is cheaper, but has only 1 year warranty. For unknown reasons, the 64GB version of this drive is rated 30MB/sec writes. OCZ specs do not degrade at 64GB, but may not be correct. Check yourself, to be sure.

Overall Review: Best info and specs are here:

Pros: No moving parts; cheap.

Cons: This HD is very slow! It took 5 times as long as my 5400rpm stock hard drive to install Windows XP and took forever to install Windows Updates. XP runs very slowly and hangs on this drive. I have AHCI SATA mode enabled and have all drivers installed but it still is buggy. Notice how the description of the drive doesn't mantion anything about speed?

Overall Review: This drive does fit into my Lenovo T400, although I couldn't use the screws to attach it to the HD mount since they made the drive too wide.
