Wowwwwwwwww

Pros: FASSSSSST. Exactly like it is in the specifications. Writes are around 500-520 mb/s seq and reads are around 530-540 mb/s.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought it for a slow Lenovo g50-80 that i got for christmas.... CPU is i3 1.9ghz. Bought 16gb and ram and this for it and now it can perform at it's maximum capabilities. Just wish that i could replace the cpu. Boots windows in 8 seconds exactly. Buy this if you want quality and performance.

Top notch SSD drive

Pros: Excellent Quality
Very fast drive

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It’s hard to find a drive better than this. The quality is excellent and the performance is as advertised. I have two and run Mac OS El Capitan on one without any problems. After I purchase this I realized that newegg has the same drive for $139.99 bundled with a 32GB flash drive. A quick call and they changed my order. Thank you newegg great price too. If you are looking for a fast SSD drive with good reliability than this is the one for you. The only drive I can think of that may be more reliable is the Intel, but not as fast. I highly recommend the OCZ Vector 180 450GB.

Failed silently, random data being returned with no IO errors!

Pros: - Fast.

Cons: - Soon after putting it on production it started to return random data, more often while reading large chunks. Our customers started to complain of bad checksums on our static files and it took a painful amount of time to point to that disk as the cause, since it never gave a single IO error. "All is fine sir, have some random data!". Never again.
- Heavy.

Overall Review: Avoid.

Probably the best SSD out there

Pros: Bought 2 of them so far and I am impressed with how well they work! Wish I had bought more when the price was right.

Cons: I would give this thing 5 stars any day of the week. Reason for the 4 stars? The price on this drive is expensive. Sometimes hard to find one to buy, too. With other drives priced now at $109 with the same 480 GIG capacity, it's really priced high at $180.
