OCZ Vertex EX 2.5" 120GB SATA II SLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXEX120G

Pros: Not too many, wish I could leave ZERO eggs, just because of the price.

Cons: OK, I have found that I can over 10, 120GB drives for this price, for ONE drive.

Really? Is it solid gold? Is it delivered in it's OWN jet?

1,209 dollars? I'm hoping it is a typo, especially considering OCZ's past history.

Pros: AFTER flashing to firmware 1.5 drive performance is great. Benchmarks using CrystalDiskMark are always repeatable and show great performance.

Cons: 1. Using firmware 1.4 or 1.41 was disappointing and I almost RMA'd my drive. (This is no longer valid since 1.5 FW has been released).
2. You must relay on forum members for tech support (which is ok if you have the time and patience you usually do eventually get your issue resolved or question answered.)
3. Not really any faster than the Vertex and Vertex Turbo drives but supposedly much better for long term, high read/write environments.

Overall Review: PRICE is high for what you get

Pros: Applications load insanely fast. OSX boots a lot faster. No more waiting for Firefox to load up, no more waiting at all. You can open up 20 applications at once and they all load up super fast.

Cons: Price.. but it's worth it more to buy an SSD for your laptop than it would be to upgrade CPU.

Overall Review: I've only used the SSD for about 2 hours now. I felt that the performance it gave me was so incredibly significant that I had to write my first review ever. This one is super pricey, but it's the best out there. The benefits of speed are still found with the lower priced OCZ SSD drives, since the factor that makes my computer so much faster is the fact that there is zero seek time.
