Pros: Really fast. The best money that you can spend for a laptop upgrade. Boot time is crazy fast. Programs load in a fraction of the time needed with a 7200 rpm drive. Stupid simple to install on my T60p. Firmware update was also a no-brainer. I replaced an older Intel 80 gig SSD that was getting a little small. This later generation one is also much faster. Generally the added bonus with the SSD above the speed benefits are the wonderful quiet, the lack of heat, and increased battery life. I also upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium when I installed the drive.

Cons: They are somewhat expensive, but once you have one, there is just no going back.

Overall Review: This is my second Newegg/Intel SSD purchase and I probably won't look at anything else, anywhere else.

Pros: The drive is fast and rugged. I haven't had to use the usb extension cable yet. I use this drive to back up the data on two computers and it works like a charm.

Cons: I put it on a lanyard and carry it around my neck and it is chunky enough that it appears that I have a growth of some kind. It is also a little heavier than any of the other usb drives that I have owned. It is pricey, and if you don't need the speed or the ruggedness, you can save some cash. I like speed and ruggedness and don't like to take chances with my data.

Overall Review: Looking for, and waiting for a Survivor GT in a 16 or a 32 gig model. I am sure that my aeronautical engineering student son will take hand-me-downs...
