My first SSD and I won't be going back.Floored appropriate out of the box.It's all that and far more. None I don't need to have considerably HD capacity and I have a 1TB eSATA for warehousing and backup, etc.No noise personal computer.

- Quickly and silent - In true planet use, not considerably more quickly than the 5400rpm platter drive, except in boot up time.- A little far more high-priced than competing 120-128gb SSDs I installed this drive on 1 of my Acer 1410 laptops (su 2300 cpuǚgb ram/win 7 64 bit) in spot of the 5400 rpm WD drive. I cloned my old drive onto it with Acronis.Benchmarking, like Crystalmark (around 260 MB/s read and 165 MB/s write) and HDTune (.15 m/s access time) shows it to be much more quickly than the platter drive. Win 7 tough drive encounter is a 7.7.In genuine planet use, it is quicker than the platter drive, but it doesn't look like a enormous difference. The only exception is boot up time, which went from 45 seconds to 19 seconds, not which includes bios post. I use the laptop for Lightroom, Workplace and Chrome.I also have an Intel SSD in one more exact identical configuration Acer 1410 laptop and it feels a little far more responsive and faster than the Vital C300. Surprising to me, despite the fact that its write speed is half of the C300 and its read speed is only 170MB/s.I don't consider I was expecting too a lot but I don't think it was genuinely worth the income, though I wanted to l

Drive is super rapidly. Ubuntu starts up in 5 seconds. Windows begins up in 30. Power consumption is a lot reduce than my old 7200 rpm notebook drive. (Battery life is over an hour longer now). Photoshop starts up in 15 seconds. Functions excellent in my HP Tm2T Tablet personal computer. Very first 1 I received was DOA. Newegg replaced it suitable away, but it decreased my self-assurance in the solution.

- Super quick- Stays cool - No 3.five" mounting bracket with it- A bit pricey This is an wonderful piece of hardware. I have it hooed up with SATA III and my windows 7 machine boots inside a few seconds after BIOS.

Quickly. Value drop created it reasonable enough. SSDs in basic are nonetheless somewhat high priced on a price per GB. This issue was rapidly loading up Win 7 Ultimate! And boot occasions are amazing. Don't even like booting up any computers without having now.

Extremely fast drive even though I'm currently only in a position to make use of it at 3Gb/s, nothing a quickly to be upgrade won't remedy although. Windows Experience score went from five.9 on a 1.5TB Seagate 7200 RPM to 7.3 with this drive. Soon after the computer system gets previous the BIOS at boot up and hits the hard drive it takes about 20 seconds to totally boot. From power off to prepared is about one minute.Although in Windows, clicking Restart it takes about 1 minute 5 seconds to be rebooted and ready to operate. Only Con I'd mention is cost per gig, even though I got it at a good deal so I can't complain. I just want the drive was twice or additional the size for the cost you pay. Give it a year or two and they'll be there (hopefully). Get this and make it your boot drive, use a platter drive for storage. All in all you won't be disappointed with a SSD, you might not like the cost per gig you have to spend though when comparing it to platter drives.

Value. Availability. Has difficulties functioning with the Marvel Controllers. Mine was utilized with an ASUS Rampage Formula 1366 mobo. Worked sporadically, hung system. Had to return it. If I read testimonials 1st may well have had an concept it may well be an problem. When it worked it was fast. Just verify compatibility with your motherboard controllers first on the net before you buy. Purchased an OCZ Vertex three works flawlessy, not 1 issue.

Fast Boot TimeRecognized Correct AwayNot an OCZ Tight SqueezeNo Hardware or Clone Software program If any individual is interested, this will match in an Hp Touchsmart tm2 tablet, but it's a tight match.Did a fresh install of Win7, cleared out all the cobwebs. It's like a new computer. Boot is lightning quick.Note that the additional pricey model involves cloning computer software and a cable, but maybe you would be far better off with a clean set up. I was. Took my old 500 GB drive and place in the USB three. external housing Newegg is selling for ฤ. (and there's a rebate). Extremely advised.

An amazing drive! Shipped with 0006 drivers (glad I didn't want to deal with that). Installed 64bit Windows 7 Enterprise on Dell Optiplex 980. Smooth sailing, no issues. About 4 times faster than my physical drive (using IOMeter); speed limited on my program due to only SATA3 in my system. Would be nice if it came with a two.five to 3.five drive adapter Do research prior to working with in something other than Windows 7. Time will inform how very good this drive seriously is.

I got this drive a couple days ago and just had sufficient time yesterday to installed it. I got it at such a wonderful cost! Had a 20% discount code that I employed so I only got this drive for a small under 200 which is great compared to some of the other drives now. Ran some benchmarks on it and was just a tiny shy of the 355MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s), and the 140MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s). No HDD mount, luckily my comp currently has one particular. Launchs windows 7 like a pro!

Apparently my computer system's speed increasedSo rapidly reading speedI do NOT regretBy only replacing my 2 years old HDD 񢾘rpm)to this SSD, my general computer system speed gotfive instances more quickly than just beforeAwesome booting speedSpecifically turning the computer off will take only fourㅄsecYou will SEE the distinction My laptop does not fully handle this SSDThis 1 works beyond my laptop's limit I am so happy.....Highly recommendedThis is INNOVATION!!!

Bought to upgrade a desktop with the addition of a MSI P43-C51 motherboard and 8GB of G. Ability Ripjaws 1333 CAS9 memory. Installation posed no difficulties working with a Thermaltake 3.5" to two.five" conversion bracket in a Thermaltake Xaser VI case. None. With the DDR3 memory and this strong state drive new life has been breathed into my key method.

Extremely quick boot occasionsTrouble totally free installationRuns incredibly coolExtended battery life for laptop None but My wife's laptop had turn into slow overtime. I made two alterations. Upgraded type windows vista to windows 7 specialist and changed hard drive to SSD. There had been no problems with the laptop recognizing the drive, then performed a clean install of windows 7. The windows score for the tough drive went to 7.9 immediately after install. The biggest surprise was how considerably cooler the laptop ran. Before the bottom of the laptop would be hot and uncomfortable to essentially spot on your lap. Right after the install, the bottom of the laptop was just warm.The improvement in performance was also significant. Ahead of, the laptop or computer would truly slowdown through virus scans or windows upgrades. Now all these are transparent.

Blazing rapidly. Speeds close to as advertised. I chuckle every single time it goes from login screen to fully loaded desktop in a few seconds. It's the perfect size 鳀GB) for a boot drive, massive sufficient, but not as well massive and needlessly costly. No mount for it, so its just laying in my case. But it's an SSD so there are no moving parts and it utilizes so small power that air flow isn't genuinely a concern anyways. Crucial: Make sure you have AHCI turned on in your BIOS for your storage controller. Greatest to do it before you set up Windows for less headaches later. In IDE mode I only got about 280MB/s Ɨ.5 windows knowledge), then I switched to AHCI and got about 348MB/s Ɨ.9!).

Tiny, quick, effortless to clone old drive and replace with this 1. Took me 7 minutes to clone it, two minutes to plug it in and let it flop it in the bottom of the situation. No 3.five" mounting adapter, no USB port and cable for straightforward cloning. There's no excuse for cheaping out on a drive this high-priced when less costly drives such as A-**** have these accessories and features. Minus 1 egg for this gross cheapness! I have an older program with E8400 and SATAII, but will update to Sandy Bridge with SATAIII as quickly as points shake out. I did some prior to and following tests. CrystalMark09 yielded a score of ten,000 on my old VelociRaptor, 30,000 on the Essential. Win7 X64 booted from "Starting Windows" to the music in 23 sec with the VelociRaptor, ten sec. for the Essential. I know that's a an incomplete boot test, but it's difficult to inform when Windows is totally completed booting. HDTune reported 100mbps read for the VelociRaptor, and 245 for the Vital. I'm hoping my Sandy Bridge rig will increase that to the mid 300's as advertised. I do notice a tad of "hesitation" when copying or moving files. I don't know if it's "stutter" or what, but it's a little annoying. Following the initial stutter, it seriously flies, so I assume it's unimportant. I'm making use of the native Windows driver, so perhaps SB, SATAIII, and one more driver will do away with that tiny hesitation.

Great, less than 10s bootup time for Windows 7 64 bit pro. The OS also recognizes the drive as an SSD and shuts off certain solutions detrimental to SSDs. SSDs are nonetheless a bit pricey.

Installed on a Toshiba Satellite U305-2812 and never ever had to transform any configuration whatsoever. Though Windows 7 set up was not as quick as other individuals have knowledgeable, I am impressed. Just about every MS Workplace 2010 app opens nearly immediately. WEI score on my install was 7.7. If the SSD does not go "belly up" in the next 6 months, may possibly essentially spring for a 256G or > model for my desktop. Hopefully costs will have come down some by then as effectively. Really impressed with the ease of installation on best of the speed. If you have a laptop that supports SATA, this drive will knock your socks off. Received it from newegg next organization day with no cost shipping as usual. None Just glad it performs as advertized. Actual consumer feedback here at newegg is the purpose I purchased this drive and constantly stick with newegg.

Rapid High priced SSD is steroids for your Pc. No other component upgrade will have such a dramatic impact on performance IMHO.This is my 1st SSD I purchased 2 of these for a RAID0 configuration.No regrets....however

Fantastic boot drive for me,7.9 in WEI:) No mounting bracket with it if you will need a single right here it is N82E16817998077

Outstanding speed. Windows Index Score of 7.9. Effortless install on my system create. I guess cost?

Really fast boot up. It takes my process a small much less than five to 7 seconds to get to the desktop immediately after hitting my power switch. Note I am also working with Gigabyte's swift boot alternative which causes the motherboard to recall the post hardware detection settings so it does need to redetect tough drives on power up. (without this, my bootup time is about 12 to 15 seconds). Purchased a second drive 鵀 GB) right after seeing how quickly this was. None.

Super fast and extremely light. I have one of these in my desktop and it is amazing to see how quickly applications load so I purchased 1 for my HP Pavillion DV6T 4100CTO laptop and it does not function. It has anything to do with the BIOS (which is all locked up and can't be modified) because by hot unplugging a classic drive in the second bay and plugging this a single it makes Windows recognize it, but if you boot with it installed it won't see it at all. The cost per GB is nonetheless way as well high! 128GB is the bare minimum I would install as an OS drive and you surely need to add a lot more drives for your data (thus losing some of the speed rewards). My laptop has two bays so a smaller SSD in the first bast isn't also poor if I have a huge HDD in the second bay.

Comment:
astounding performance, loads windows and apps extremely rapidly.have two in a RAID0, gets avg 675MB/s in HD tune pro benchmark. price tag could constantly be more affordable i guess haha128 GB wasnt large sufficient so i had to get 2?? not truly a con because i have twice the speed lol.

Comment:
I had read all of the evaluations on SSD's being wonderful and the method efficiency becoming considerably enhanced so I had to see for myself. INSANE. I came from a 150G V-Raptor and this thing destroys it. Considerably quicker boot time, more rapidly system launching.I would suggest acquiring this one over the 64 gig drive only because of space.... specifically with a Windows 7 64 bit box. Setup was a breeze....zero driver problems... a accurate plug an play.Also, I had some queries about defrag / trim and their cutomer assistance rocks....incredibly friendly. Value....but you get what you spend for. Get a single....you wont be disappointed.

Comment:
Extremely rapidly like other individuals have already said. Windows boots to totally loaded desktop in around 20 seconds. Highly responsive for most tasks. 7.9 on the WEI when working with AHCI. I just wish there was much more disk space. But that's not genuinely a con. You're paying for high efficiency when you get an SSD, and that's exactly what you get with this drive.
