Corsair Nova CSSD-V32GB2-BRKT 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Got this as an upgrade to my ASUS G50Vt laptop and wholy crap what a difference! It boosted my HDD score form 5.4 to over 7. It boots in no time, no noise, less power consumption, no need for maintenance (as defraging hurts the drive anyway). I use my laptop heavily for school and this will save me alot of time waiting for it to turn on or off or if I need to show somthing realy fast to a teacher or friend.

Bought this as my boot/os/app drive running Windows 7 to run along side my 2TB RAID 5 data drives. Only using 16GB of space on the SSD.Since my HTPC/NAS is running 7/24/365, faster boot time isn't as important as the computer is always running, but it is quieter, cooler, and has lower power comsumption compared to my old primary hard drive.Meets my needs.

Got this to act as a boot drive after my Seagate 1Tb drive died. Had read a lot of the reviews and decided to take the plunge and use this as a boot drive for Windows 7.Looking at the stats, it's certainly not the fastest out there, but for the price I thought it was worth a shot to see if all the hype was worth it. In short: yes. I didn't perform any benchmarks, but it is definitely faster. Applications load extremely quickly with no lag whatsoever, even dreadful applications like iTunes.Without doubt this is the best upgrade I have made to my system for a long time. It would also be a relatively cheap solution to breath new life into an older machine.My only gripe (and a minor one at that) is capacity - more space is always better but I'll probably wait till the prices drop  further before I pick up a bigger one.Also I followed this guide (for OCZ drives but relevant all the same) to set it up and reduce the amount of space Win7 takes up. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?63273-*-Windows-7-Ultimate-Tweaks-Utilities-*&p=442158&viewfull=1#post442158
