Pros: * Excellent value, which will get even better over time; * TRIM Support (Win7) * Comes with latest firmware (VBM19C1Q); * Good enough size for C: drive, storing the essential stuff; * Speedy boot-up of OS (Win7); * HD Tune shows sustained read speed of 170MB/s; * Boot-up: 60 sec, Shut-down: 16 sec

Cons: * No mounting bracket or adapter included; * Speed issues with small files... or so it seems (read on); * I ran 3 different benchmarks (HD Tune v2.55 , A.S.S v1.4.3704 and ATTO v2.46), and all reported different results - which is not Corsair's/Samsung's fault, of course, but rather interesting; * SSD is super-fast (as advertised) when reading files larger than 16MB; * Writes are slightly slower; around 155MB/s; * Reading/Writing files of smaller sizes makes the SSD slow down to a crawl.. according to the Benchmarks. In 'real life', I don't really notice anything (yet); * "Windows Experience Index" shows rather disappointing 6.7 score for my system, with the Corsair SSD being the lowest-scoring component... :-(

Overall Review: I currently use this as C: drive in my "Everyday Workhorse PC" - for MS Office stuff, web, music & video conversions, TV & DVR tasks. SPECS: Intel Core2 Q6600 (OC from 2.4>3.2GHz at 30/45'C idle/load); Gigabyte P45 EP45-DSR3 (v1); 8GB DDR2-6400 RAM (Patriot/Corsair) at 2.0V; Prolimatech Megahalems CPU cooler; Zotac GeForce GT240; Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit; SyncMaster 2443BWX (1920x1200). (Note: [already optimized] Truckloads of processes & desktop icons / gadgets to load at boot-up). I did not do a clean install; just ghosted my previous install over instead. Had some issues with bootup & AHCI mode at first, but got it fixed rather quickly. - Note: Makes sure to run SSD in AHCI BIOS, or you'll see slower speeds! Everybody claiming that you HAVE to do a clean install when moving to SSD is WRONG! -- However, I'm wondering if my 4K cluster size is the explanation for the slow reads/writes with small files?? Will buy another 128GB Corsair and set up RAID0... - Yeah, baby!

Pros: Incredibly fast. Fool-proof setup in Windows 7. Completely different user experience.

Cons: While there may be no more spinning up to read/write data, your head will be left spinning as your SSD leaves you wondering which way is up.

Overall Review: "Hmmm, an install button. Let's click it." *clicks* "Where did the window go? Did it install? What the hell! It's in the start menu?! What just happened?!" It's that fast. The U.S. should have sent SSDs over to Iraq for shock & awe. Sure worked on me. If you're tried of sluggish loads, don't bother upgrading your CPU unless it's really old. If you've got a C2D or better and aren't trying to game, this is the upgrade for you. Word opens up like notepad. Installations finish before you realize they've started. I was in a daze for the first hour or two after loading this thing up. I'm not even sure I like it this fast. I should be faster than the PC.

Pros: First time moving to SSD. I have two of these in RAID 0. Both of them came already updated to the latest firmware (VBM19C1Q) to support TRIM. 2x Corsair P128's in RAID 0 Seq Read: 337.62 MB/s Seq Write: 367.83 MB/s Access Time Read: 0.117ms Access Time Write: 0.561ms I installed Windows 7 x64 bit in about 15 minutes. Anything I do...click on...it's just instant. From the time I see the BIOS screen till the time I see the windows logon screen it is 18 seconds. I came from 2x 74GB raptors and I LOVE not hearing the "head/arm" moving back and forth as it reads/writes. Man I love it....SILENT! SSD's F.T.M.F.W!!!

Cons: Too expensive but so worth it! *it still hurts my eyes looking at the price* They are just milking it hella. These things must honestly be cheap to make! Come on!!!

Overall Review: Tech support told me garbage collection (GC) is active in RAID but wasn't sure if TRIM was supported in RAID 0 and the only way to test would be to have two identical systems and do tons of reads/writes and see if performance goes down. Well I don't got the money for that! Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D PS: Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000W Mobo: EVGA 760 Classified CPU: Intel Core i7-920 CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H50 Mem: Mushkin Redline 6GB DDR3 1600 998691 Vid: 3x Asus Radeon HD 5870 HDD: 2x Corsair P128 SSD Raid 0 Sound Card: Asus Xonar D2X 7.1

Pros: Very fast Read/Write speeds. Firmware supports TRIM function in Windows 7. Corsair customer support can't be beat

Cons: Not really a con but something potential buyers should be aware of: Does not come with 2.5" adapter so make sure you buy one along with this drive if you want to mount it in a 3.5" bay

Pros: Using in my nearly 3yr old laptop. Extremely fast access (running Windows 7 x64). OS loads faster overall, programs load either moderately or much faster (but the CPU and bus may be the bottleneck here). Quiet (obviously), cool running & seemingly well built. Shock resistence (you're more likely to break your computer than loose data). Haven't tried many others, but I'm very pleased with this so far. Uses Samsung controller (the best available from what I've read, unless you spend 2-3 times the money for one with an Indilinx or other high-end controller). Goodbye defrag!

Cons: Still a little pricy compared to conventional HDDs, but if you're a power user (or a one man IT department for a mid-size organization- like me) then the cost is more than justified. Win 7 rating of only 5.9- but that is more likely due to 3 year old mobo and controller technology (it was the highest rated component on my machine in Win 7). Can too fast be a con? Because the rest of my computer seems to struggle to keep up!

Overall Review: If you are a Windows user, I highly recommend pairing this upgrade with Windows 7- it was designed with SSDs in mind. Win 7 will automatically detect the SSD and disable defrag and SuperFetch (not needed with SSD) as well as (correct me if I'm wrong) optimize the writes to the SSD so as to reduce buffer issues and mitigate excessive wear (although the Samsung controller has wear-leveling built-in). I really believe the SSDs are the future- at least with laptops. For stationary computers, you can probably RAID a few conventional drives together and get better speed and more storage for less cash. But who knows, if prices keeps falling that could change.....

Pros: - Much faster than my old HDD - Boots Win. 7 in under 10 seconds, from cold start - Shut down is about 5 seconds - Large enough for Win. 7, Office, and 10 games with good room to spare - Shiny (reason enough to buy it?) :D

Cons: Price, but this is new and powerful hardware, I wouldn't expect to see these things handed out for free. Does NOT come with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter. Unless you want your precious SSD sitting unfastened in a drive bay, spend a little more and get an adapter.

Overall Review: When I took it out of the box, the drive was in a little plastic cover. I didn't think it was the drive at first. I was expecting it to be smaller and lighter than a HDD but this thing is extremely small, and extremely light. It is lighter than a deck of cards. The lack of heavy packaging of course due to the fact that SSD's are pretty much impervious to any damage from vibration. Newegg is awesome! <3

Pros: This SSD has fast IO. Like all SSD's it's silent. It doesn't need any additional cooling either.

Cons: Very awkward firmware update process. It's way too complex for the normal user. If you do want to update the firmware, you have to find the tools on Corsair's website. You also need to produce a DOS bootable disk. Getting a USB or CD to auto boot is touchy. If you still have a floppy drive (who does), it's a little easier. Note that updating the firmware erases your data, so do it before you start using the drive.

Overall Review: There is no need to update the firmware if you bought this drive recently. The drive already has the latest Trim enabled firmware. Keep in mind that SSD's wear out. They have a finite amount of write-erase cycles. For normal users this isn't an issue. If you plan on using this in a system that does a lot of writes, you may want to move the heavy writing off this drive.

Pros: I have an asus p6x68d-e motherboard with windows 7 64 bit ultimate.. this is my boot drive. sets up instantly in windows 7 .. which installs in about 10-15 min. backups to norton ghost are also quick (about 20 min) All I can say is that the SSD is the single most performance boost of anything you put in your system. Set this up for your boot drive and use raid drives for storage and you will fly!

Cons: price.. of course. The drive slows slightly with time, but not by much.
