Pros: Insane, blistering performance e.g. Photoshop loads in LESS than 5 SECONDS!!! LOL! Silent. Low power consumption. Runs cool to the touch.
Cons: At this point, $'s per MB! Not really a "Con," but it's a bare drive, so pick up a 2.5" - 3.5" adapter and SATA Data/Power Combo Cable to install it in your case.
Overall Review: As others have said, this is bleeding-edge technology right now, definitely NOT Plug 'n' Play! I spent weeks on the OCZ Forum checking this out, educating myself on the technology, before I took the plunge. Because of the limitations of the technology itself - these drives wear out as soon as you start using them, like an old fashioned 12" LP or a tape - these are ideally used as an OS + Apps drive, data should be kept on a traditional HD. As of now, there are two basic firmwares, v1.4 & v1.41; my drive shipped with v1.4 which is optimized for Win7, XP will require a firmware flash to v1.41 and "Drive Alignment" before the Windows install. The OCZ Forum is your friend; there are detailed step-by-step guides to setting these drives up in almost any configuration, including RAID. To get the most out of your drive be prepared to tweak your system, including the OS & Registry; see the OCZ Forum for detailed instructions... and be prepared to be blown away!
