G.SKILL FALCON 2.5" 64GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) FM-25S2S-64GBF1

Pros: Coming from a 300G velociraptor i which i thought was pretty fast i'm now astonished. I bought two of these and put them in RAID 0. They are nothiing short of amazing. There is definetly a big difference between these and my WD VR.

Cons: Non, didn't even have to upgrade the firmware since they are shipping with the newest or best firmware.

Overall Review: Transfer rates in RAID 0 system is a core i7 sytem on asus P6t MB min=231.4MB/sec max=317.9MB/sec Avg=289.9MB/sec access time 0.1 ms Burst Rate=227.5MB/sec This was using HD tune 2.55 oh yeah and formated using 4K blocks

Pros: Very fast drive, worth every penny! Always great products from G.Skill

Cons: Only thing I can think of, like someone else said, would be nice to have an OEM box to save some money. Very fancy packaging.

Overall Review: Windows score 5.9 HD Tune Transfer Rate Min - 138.3Mb/sec Max - 169.9Mb/sec Avg - 165.2Mb/sec Access Time 0.1ms Burst Rate 131.5Mb/sec

Pros: Very Fast!!! Silent!!! I have 2 of these drives in raid-0. I am very happy with these drives . They beat my 150 raptor drives (also raid-0) in hd tach and the Atto benchmark tests.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Overall Review: helps keep my pc 5 to 10 degress cooler. They meet and or exceed the specifications posted on newegg for me. Maximumpc.com Just posted a great article on how to use them for your o/s drive. "How-To: Optimize Your Windows Profile and Media Storage with a SSD"

Pros: The reviews had me hoping that this drive would be fast but, I simply was not ready for how truly fast this drive is! Windows 7 RC 64 Bit loads on my laptop in 21 seconds with full MS Office 2007, ESET Smart antivirus & seven different sidebar gadgets all coming to life & useable within those 21 seconds. My office programs flash to life instantly. I work with very large PDF files (200+ Meg) & they too load up in less than one quarter the time my Seagate Momentum 7200.4 - 500 Gig opened them. I have not shown this to anyone that has not expressed, just as I did, true awe. Every single person has said at least; Oh My Gosh! or Wow! It truly is amazing!

Cons: The G.Skill forum is indeed slow in accepting your membership & you cannot download any updates until you are accepted. I almost gave this product 4 stars becuase of the forum's lack of attention.

Overall Review: I ordered a 128 Gig today which the numbers says has a little higher read rate. Can't wait to try it out.

Pros: - Fast - Silent - Works great in a Mac Mini

Cons: A little expensive compare to regular (non SSD) drives but it's worth it.

Overall Review: I installed this G.Skill Falcon SSD into my Mac Mini over the weekend to replace the very slow 5200rpm drive that came with it originally. The installation went well. The Mini detected the new drive right away. After I formatted the drive I installed OSX Leopard. Everything works perfectly. That thing is VERY fast. Most applications open instantly. It takes less then 15 seconds to boot up OSX. Only 2-3 seconds to shut it down. Setup: Mac Mini 2.0GHz 4GB Crucial DDR2 667MHz Memory G.Skill Falcon 64GB SSD

Pros: Wicked fast, no heat, no vibration, no noise

Cons: none that I can think of

Overall Review: The Falcon SSD completely changes the Windows 7 experience. Worth the cost.

Pros: It works flawlessly in my acer 5735z. I clean installed this disk with win7 rc and did not have one problem. I am amazed how quickly the process took. Boots in less than 20 seconds with pentium 4200.Battery life is much better also. 3 hours up too 3 1/2

Cons: Price is still a premium

Overall Review: Everything is snappier. I can really see it

Pros: after installing this on a 790FX system with an X4 955 cpu, my overclocked X48-DDR3 system with a Q9650 cpu and a WD Black HDD feels very slow.

Cons: none

Overall Review: applications load in a flash!
