Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:A little expensive and a small capacity, but normal price ranged for the quality.

Pros:Incredibly fast and small
Comment:
This SSD is awesome in every way. I had an old 160GB 5400RPM boot drive for 6 years and that crapped out a week ago and i bought this. Not a single problem at all so far. Made my boot times go from 10 minutes to under 30 seconds. And the best part is that there is no defragmenting! Just remember to install in AHCI mode and NOT IDE, yields about 15-20% better performance overall. And greatly increases large transfers. If you do install in IDE, change the registry later to allow for AHCI and change the bios to boot in that.

Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:None

Pros:It's MushkinVery fast Shipped with latest firmware
Comment:
An SSD is the best upgrade you can do to any computers now days. Everything else is so damn fast now but the hard drives themselves. So far I bought two of these SKU's and both are running AWESOME. The 1st one came in an open box for some odd reason but when I had scanned it with SSD Life thingy it looked like it was never really installed.I was quite surprised by how fast this drive is at the price it comes with. I will most definitely buy again.

Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:Will not work in laptop from 2008

Pros:Extremely fast, reliable drive
Comment:
When i bought this i initially put it in my laptop, which is a couple years old, and had some weird issues with BSOD when waking from sleep. Updated the bios, installed latest drivers and still would not fix the problem. So i put it in my desktop (which has SATA3) and works perfectly. Windows experience index = 7.9I would buy this drive again.

Cons:none

Pros:Fast and silent !
Comment:
I actually use it external as a boot drive for my 2009 imac 27' via firewire. Beside of benchs, I can "feel" the fast difference in apps startups. It is limited by the firewire bandwith, but the io are betters. To all mac guys unsure about the move, Yes it works! Does the job for me...

Pros:Fast, shipped with latest firmware, not a single issue to report
Comment:
I got this drive for 157$ and it was well worth it. Since then no other 120go SSD's similar to this one have dropped to this price point so it was a very good buy. At this time the price is too close to sync nand ssd's so it's better to get this unit at a price closer to 1$/gb.

Cons:problem with the controller SandForceremoval performance compared to other next-generation SSD

Pros:Good price/performanceAdapter 3.5 "to 2.5"
Comment:
The perf/price is excellent, by against I had the problem of controller SandForce (freeze, BSOD,...) with my first ssd. I returned home Mushkin and they gave me another and I learned afterwards that the SandForce controller with problems.After you have updated (3.3.2), nothing to say about it works # 1I find it just a shame that performance is behind compared to other next-generation SSD

Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:None at the moment

Pros:Very fast when compared to traditional HDD. The best upgrade I have made to date, as performance jump has been huge on my PC. Programs load with a blink of my eye, its absolutely stunning.
Comment:
This is my first SSD drive. My purchase was based on price/performance, as I did not want to spend over 200 total (taxes, shipping)on this purchase. My system is based on GA-EP45-UD3P mainboard with Q9550 and 8GB Mushkin Redline RAM, so although its only SATA2 I still see about 50-100% improvement in speed over Seagate SATA2 500GB HDD. HD Tune Pro benchmark test result;Min 140.9 MB/sMax. 213 MB/s AVG. 196 MB/sBurst 196.3 MB/s No problems migrating from Seagate hdd to this drive with Acronis image 2011.WIndows index 7.3

Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:Compared to OCZ (I've had solid 3, and revodrive x2), bad craftmanship and product presentation. Came in cheap (looked like a 90's toy box) and ssd itself comes with flimsy sata connectors and simple black and white sticker on back.

Pros:Exceptional Speeds, ATTO d 507 Write, 555 Read, drivers preinstalled
Comment:
Sweet drive, easily the best for price/performance

Cons:none really

Pros:Quick, supports trim, what more is there to say its one of the cheapest drives for capacity and performance and still is of very high quality.
Comment:
For the person looking to get speed, capacity, and performance all at a great price look no further this drive has it all and while not the fastest drive out there at the price these sell for there is nothing competing with it.

Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive
Cons:Less space more cost (but decent price for a SSD)

Pros:Fast, light, no moving parts.
Comment:
Its pretty sweet having a SSD. Since you sacrifice storage space (and money) you should probably invest in external storage. I went for a nice 4 bay NAS with 4x 2TB drives in a raid 5'ish (X-raid). If you have extra space for other drives in your computer (Mines a laptop) by all means get a normal HDD for storage and SSD for OS and programs you want to load real quick. I have not really done a lot of testing, but I did find it funny that some times I'm at the login prompt before my USB keyboard kicks in now. As with a lot of other reviews everything just seems more snappy now. We'll see how it goes after time though.
