Very fast... careful with your tweaks...

Fast Access times
Excellent speed (not best, but good)
Quiet, cool, and small

If you disable Write caching per some SSD instructions you can get this drive to stutter.
Price/MB is the only complaint.
Doesn't come with a 3.5" conversion mount if you need one for a home PC.

I don't understand why you'd turn off write caching on an SSD anyway. You want to minimize writes, so leave the write caching on.
Turn off indexing, prefetch, etc... but leave write caching on.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Kingston SSD

Fast and no heat generation. Small with low power demand

Will not coexist with an OCZ SSD. Spent several days trying to add the Kingston SSD to my computer with an OCZ SSD already installed. Crash,Crash,Crash. I could get one going, but the minute I hooked up the Kingston at the same time....crash.

The OCZ went in without a hitch. Tech support responded from Kingston, but only suggestion was to update Bios. Which I did. Didn't help. Be careful if you are adding this SSD with some other storage equipment already installed.
