Pros: Great performance, the difference between this and the 5,400RPM notebook drive it replaced is night and day. Battery life has improved as well, not a lot (probably 15-30 minutes) but every little bit helps. The hardware AES encryption (in conjunction with a BIOS disk password) is a great feature for laptops, should prevent a stranger from accessing the data on your SSD in the event the laptop is lost or stolen. Removing the spacer on the top allows it to be installed in thin laptops that require 7mm tall drives (standard 2.5" drive height is 9.5mm). Intel also upped the warranty from three years on these drives to five years. As far as I know Intel is the only one to offer five year warranty on their consumer SSDs, three years is pretty much the industry standard. Nice to see them standing behind their products.
Cons: Price, but you tend to get what you pay for. Intel SSDs can be a bit more expensive than other models with comparable performance and capacity, but they are very solid and reliable. Intel claims ~0.4% AFR (annualized failure rate) for their X25-M SSDs, which is phenomenal.
Overall Review: Been using it for about three months in my ultraportable and it hasn't given me a single problem. Nice little SSD, would definitely recommend it. One other thing, when I got this the aluminum finish on the bottom of the drive was pretty blotchy. Thought at first that it was a defect (drive being improperly stored or something, causing it to oxidize), but apparently this is normal, so don't worry about it if you notice that on your drive.
