Pros: Can't comment on max speeds as I'm using a 3gb controller, but the drive is, of course, fast. It's also one of the prettiest pieces of computer hardware I've owned. At $139.99 I'm thrilled with my purchase.

Cons: None, yet.

Overall Review: For SSD noobs like myself, be sure to enable AHCI in your BIOS BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS. This allows Windows to use all the newer features (NCQ etc...). If you enable AHCI after installing, your machine won't boot. Ask me how I know. =(

Pros: Price

Cons: Died in a few months.

Overall Review: I've purchased 3 Seagate drives in recent years, two are in a landfill. Their warranty is a joke, and now, so is their image as a quality manufacturer.

Pros: Bought two, easily setup in RAID 0 and read around 1100MBps. Windows 10 boots in around 10 seconds.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Haven't benched write speeds, seems plenty quick. Got them on sale so they were the cheapest SSDs available.

Pros: Fast, attractive

Cons: This is the same size drive that most other manufacturers list as 120GB. SSD Magician software has few useful features and upon clicking "Performance Optimization" actually runs disk benchmarks without asking or prompting! The firmware update feature is also a joke, doesn't tell me what firmware version I'm currently running and clicking "F/W Download" button does nothing at all.

Overall Review: First, Samsung, consider getting in line with the rest of the 21st century and list your SSDs at their formatted sizes. Second, if you're going to tout "magic" software, make sure it actually works and doesn't run benchmarks that stress and wear the SSD without so much as asking the user first.

Pros: Good looking products that work pretty well, until they fail.

Cons: Have had an MSI video card and Motherboard give up on me, both within 3 years of purchase. MSI agreed that the products were defective but told me they have no way to repair or replace my products. I was advised to search an online auction site for replacements.

Overall Review: Even though I offered to pay for repair or replacement I wasn't able to get either. I expect my components to last more than three years, and, when they don't, I expect the manufacturer to at least make an effort to help me. I will be staying away from MSI from here on out. I now consider them bottom of the barrel.

Pros: Small, USB powered, inexpensive.

Cons: Price per GB isn't great but I don't use it for mass storage, more to transfer data quickly between computers and for that it's a great product.

Overall Review: I hope it's reliable.
