Fast - I think my perspective might be a bit exaggerated because I'm coming from a ~5 year old computer, but this with an i5 has changed the way I do things. I love how restarting my system is not an annoyance any more. It shuts down and boots back up very fast, and as soon as the desktop appears, you can click on a program and it starts up. None of that waiting at the desktop for everything to "really" finish loading.
Small - My case (antec mini 80) can either mount an HD rack OR a front intake fan. I was able to put my storage mechanical HD in the one available 5.25" slots (with an adapter) and just have this sitting on the bottom of the mobo compartment shelf. This allowed me to mount both 120mm intake fans, which is nice.
Expensive - 80gb. ~290 bucks. And to think I was trying to stick to a "budget" build.
Low capacity
As of right now, there's a firmware update issue. I got a drive with 02G9 firmware, and can't update to 02HA because some people reported issues and intel took it down. you need 02HA for windows 7 TRIM support, which is not possible 'til intel finishes another revision.
If you find an 02HA download, don't try it. watch the official intel site for a fixed release.
It comes with a sticker!
I'm disappointed by how many of my new components didn't come with stickers. Video card? Nope. Mobo? Nope. CPU? Nope. Storage device? Hells yeah!
Seemed like a great drive for the price.
Did not work on a dell XPS m1330 running windows 7 x64.
I tried the drive both cloned and cleanly formatted but could not get my laptop to even recognize the drive.
I also tried setting bios settings to legacy without effect.
Also, I am pretty sure it wasn't DOA because the drive was worked fine when plugged in via a usb adapter.
