Solid so far

Booting is much faster and stability is vastly improved. Comes with a 3.5" adapter bracket. The cloning software license that's included worked seamlessly even in on Win 8.1 pro. Slapped it in my external drive dock, downloaded and installed the software, clicked the option to clone the drive, followed the prompts, it restarted, cloned the drive, and I told the BIOS to use that drive and the rest is history.

Cold boots use to take about 50 seconds with about 15 seconds of that happening during the post before the OS starts loading. Now, it takes about 25 seconds for a cold boot and about 22-23 seconds on a restart.

The data access is phenomenally quick compared to my old SATA II drive.

About the only con I can find is the length of the license key...It's long and easy to mistype a character. (BTW, I didn't enter any dashes, so it seems that works better)

I was a little concerned with a couple of the recent very negative reviews, but so far not seeing any issues and I'm *very* happy with my purchase.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Bricked / DoA

None that I could find.

Tried upgrading to this device for my Windows install. It would get to about 95% and then crash. Tried different techniques over the next few months, then got sent off for a few months. Updated the firmware, and now neither Windows nor my Nighthawk router can see the drive (but the OCZ tool can). Not worth my energy to try at this point, I'll just use a different brand next time.

Wasted over $100 a year ago on a DoA I didn't return in time.
