Pros are newegg, I ordered this not even seeking that it was three.five, under no circumstances saw a three.5 SSD ahead of, needless to say I necessary to return it due to the fact of my mistake. Newegg Rocks, they took care of me as if I was there very best buyer, at least that is how they created me really feel. I know this is not a evaluation of the product but greater yet a review of Newegg and they ROCK. I have decided that even if Newegg is a tiny higher on a product that I will obtain it from Newegg anyway since I can trust them. And the will take care of you!Thanks Newegg you do Rock!

*its an SSD: -really light -silent*Fast: windows boot up times ᝺s to logon screen.*Has TRIM capability *a bit pricy/GB but if you're thinking about an SSD this ought to not a concern to you. When plugging this device in along with a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB hd, this drive didn't get assigned disk0 status, so if I have each plugged in and I go to the bios it won't want to place this as 1st boot priority(won't see it if each are plugged in).-I set up this drive, got windows going, then I plugged in the samsung and left the boot priority alone. Functions great. I wholly suggest this drive for a person seeking for a 120G SSD that's quickly, and considering that it has TRIM I'm hoping it will keep t hat way.

Actually quiet, truly quick, excellent value. I use it as my boot drive and it boots up to windows super rapidly. Comes with a sticker as well! None so far. SSD's in general are expensive. Hopefully they start dropping in price as they turn into more mainstream. Windows 7 doesn't assistance exFAT as boot. Based on what I read on distinct forumns, soon after installing windows 7 it is a fantastic idea to move all of your profile and interenet history to a typical HDD. In my case I just repurposed my old boot drive, which was 10,000 RPM Velociraptor RAID 1 drives to home this facts.

Quick when it performs. Exactly where do I start? OCZ sells 34nm NAND to 25nm NAND drives with the same labeling and pricing. You may possibly get a 34nm and 25nm unit at the similar time, have enjoyable with that if you are employing them in a RAID. Bought a 34nm Vertex2 and require it RMA'd to OCZ(not an uncommon point), you may get a smaller capacity and slower 25nm drive back. OCZ switched from 34nm NAND to 25nm NAND with no any notice to prospects. If you bought a 25nm SSD and want a 34nm drive that was advertised, you have to return the SSD and Pay Far more than the advertised value. OCZ's dishonest advertising and marketing and marketing are nicely known, verify the internet.

The read and write speed is simply extraordinary. The speed of this factor is basically extraordinary my computer at present test at 7.two or so on the windows efficiency index and before I got this difficult drive all my stuff was above 7.two except for my hard disk transfer rate. Now thanks to this SSD my transfer rate on windows efficiency index scale is 7.two, and I can truly tell a distinction in how quickly windows loads and how long it takes for fairly considerably any application that's at the moment installed on my OS drive.

Incredibly quickly, whisper quiet. Lower energy, cooler and much much more rugged than an HDD. Extraordinary worth. Straightforward install. Saved me from purchasing a new personal computer and reinstalling and reconfiguring every thing. Extremely Advised!!! None. Simply put, this is the ideal upgrade *EVER* for a laptop. Period.Nothing comes close to boosting the performance of a laptop at *ANY* cost! I obtain the best I can afford so I don't have to invest a week reinstalling and reconfiguring anything on the new laptop or computer 鲤GB of computer software, hardware and CAD tool installs, hundreds of settings, even making use of registry dumps).An SoC project construct that took 20 minutes on my old machine now completes in two minutes. That's a 10x improvement. I can reboot and be at the desktop with zero disk activity in 12 seconds. Scrolling through image files is lag-free of charge, like they had been already cached in memory.Men and women getting troubles with this drive may possibly just have technique configuration concerns. All I did was copy the original partition (DriveImageXML does this quick for cost-free), produced it bootable (mark it "Active" in disk manager), and verified the boot partition quantity was correct in the boot.ini file. If you require the AHCP driver, make certain you install the ideal

Finest investment I produced for my new rig by far! None Can't wait to upgrade my other computer system to an OCZ SSD!

None, properly actually only one. It's size is such that it mounts in an ordinary drive bay with out needing an adapter. Expense: roughly 赨 for 100 GB for this SSD, vs ์ for 500 GB for a good HD. Generally a waste of 赨. I expected a dramatic speed improvement more than my 7200 rpm SATA disks... I so see a bit much better speed, but not that considerably. Yes, seek time is considerably enhanced, but that doesn't translate into substantially much better general efficiency. I can't place considerably data on this drive, so all the information is on rotating disks... so the only improvement is in loading programs.... and the general read speed isn't that a lot far better than a rotating disk. Manufacturer Response:Hello, perceived laptop or computer speed can be influenced by numerous factors. For instance, processor speed, amount of installed RAM, and even processes operating in the background of your OS can be slow factors down. We will be happy to appear over your installation and make some suggestions. Please visit our support forums at the link below and post in the Flash/SSD section for assistance.

rapid, and much better than my 40 gig SSD. Have none Holds my boot files and a game or 3 and nevertheless awesome speeds. I use it for games and boot speeds.If you haven't gone SSD it's time.Your boot time and load time in games is awesome.

Snatched up an open box so I got a fairly fantastic deal on it. Fired ideal up, Installed win 7 64 Prof. in about 8 or 9 minutes which is ridiculous. Starting from scratch is constantly such a discomfort...but with this factor it's genuinely not that negative, drivers and so forth install so rapidly it's almost entertaining. That flowery searching loading screen that came among the windows logo and your actual desktop popping up no longer exists and when the desktop does pop up it's pretty a lot instantly prepared to go. So far so very good... Challenging drives are the greatest bottleneck in general contemporary method responsiveness and has been for a long time. This issue doesn't completely get rid of the bottleneck but it definitely assists tremendously. Took my windows score to 7.three from like five.three with my old WD RE2 but 7.3 is nonetheless my lowest score by really a bit.

Extremely properly boxed item working with high good quality packaging to0 stop harm. Took out of box and realized how small this drive strategies. Soon after searching at my setup even even though I had a special section for SSD's in my situation I decided to mount above all my other drives just in situation they fall (using Antec Lanboy Airmount Technique). General Speeds are comparable to what is advertised. Employing it as prime O.S. Drive permitting only one particular windows restore to be stored at a time. 14 Secs boot time. Also as often correct on time Newegg! Makes use of quite weak, appears to be aluminum for screw holes I truly stripped the front of 1 of the holes but utilized a slightly longer mounting screw to accomplish a very good mount. But this isn't worth any points off. Adore the "My SSD is faster then your HDD" sticker.

Extremely quickly drive runns smooth when in windows.

Amazing. HDDs pale in comparison to these negative boys! Completely none.

Wicked rapidly. Lots of space for your OS, possibly 2, and a few games. Fired up no challenge. I use it as a boot drive on a new pc I built. No moving parts, less danger of drive failure. Required to install Intel RST drivers for the SATA three in order to update the firmware. I wasn't told this until I went on the OCZ forums. Otherwise, no troubles. Don't know if all motherboards are like that, but I wish I knew. Ofcourse, its pricey, but as time moves on they'll turn out to be less expensive. It's new technologies, wait for improvement to catch up. Tech support is fantastic. I like the forum thought far better than e mail support. BTW, the drive doesn't appear like the a single pictured. It looks rounded on the leading like a space ship. I can't see it most of the time anyway.

a pair in a RAID : OS loads in 16 seconds, Firefox loads in 2, Office 2007 apps load practically immediately, even 64-bit Photoshop CS4 loads in 4 seconds. It's incredible.note: I got the 34nm flash version. 25nm flash doesn't execute as effectively. cost for a pair is nearly as substantially as a single 240GB Vertex 3 (Is this really a con, though?? in a pair, they run as fast as a single Vertex 3, for cheaper.) Make confident to turn off program restore if you have the OS on it. I've had these for somewhat more than a month, and I am impressed. I now have no mechanical tricky drives in my method.

Comment:
-OCZ Dedication for Updating Firmwares-Rapidly speeds compared to Vertex 1 drive-Fantastic prices with Vertex three's released -25nm models are slower than old 32 nm models-Bigger 3.five inch size Writes are slower than benchmarks for 32 nm models. Kinda sad, but considering how cheap it was its nevertheless worth it.

The Drive performs well. Nevertheless waiting for rebate considering that NOV 30 2010. Nevertheless acquiring run about. Don't buy this drive if it involves a rebate from OCZ!!!!! The WORST. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we aplogize for the rebate concerns. Please e-mail rebates@ocztechnology.com and consist of your complete name, address, item, and date and location of purchase. We will be pleased to contact the rebate property, and will see that your valid rebate is paid. Thank you

This SSD is the finest buy I made for my monster game killing machine. I didn't seriously consider it would work so flawlessly...had NO concerns with the install, and mirroring was a breeze...would definately purchase another SSD for my sons gaming rig... none so far...but I am only on the initially couple of weeks of ownership.....will update with any "cons" corned beef and cabbage...

The drive nevertheless shows high speeds in tests like ATTO. This information nonetheless is not replicable in genuine information scenarios. IOPS are still impressive as are sequential reads. Just immediately after I purchased the drive, OCZ announced a "successful transition" to 25nm SSD's. Supposedly this drive's now lowered overall performance is reflected in the lower value. For example, in a CDM test, sequential writes on my older V2 are 30% greater than this new drive. This drive barely performs sequential writes on incompressible data more than 90MB/s. My prior Vertex two was 140MB/s. What essentially occurred is a delay amongst solutions entering consumer's hands and communication that the efficiency of the new drives will be lower than earlier implementations of the exact same model quantity. For example, a week right after I purchased the drive new "AS-SSD metrics" were posted on OCZ.com under the two.5" drives spec pages. These new metrics were not obtainable prior to my buy and are nonetheless not obtainable in the three.five" drives specs pages. OCZ is a fantastic business that has put out a lot of good goods. The "transition" from 3xnm to 25nm and the efficiency reductions ought to have been communicated a lot more honestly. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we want each and every customer to be completely satisfied with their buy. Please call our assistance manager at 鷘) 733-8400, ext 206, and we will be content to work with you. Thank you

* Newegg shipped my order incredibly speedily, selecting up 1 of these undesirable boys during the ฮ rebate promo.* The drive is rapidly, winstat is reporting 225mb/s seq read and 185mb/s seq writes.* Wonderful entry level SSD * None as of but. * OCZ's Flashing 'toolbox' seriously kind of sucks... atleast for flashing your newly owned drive. It has some factors that are valuable but the flash bit of it is hit-or-miss. I'm not the only one that experienced the challenge -- their forums are littered with other persons having equivalent problems. There is nevertheless a handful of guidelines to stick to if you do experience a non-flashing drive. I really would have hoped for just a easy bootable thumbdrive patch like with regular HDDs. There seriously arent quite a few alternatives for flashing and OCZ seems to have removed/hidden the other approaches to promote the toolbox. In the end I just used the linux installer.

This was my 1st expertise using an SSD drive of any sort and I have to say when you go SSD you will never ever want to go back. I installed in a brand new machine I built with a buddy and it created what would have been a rapidly machine regardless just absolutely scream. If you have a a potent machine that you use for gaming or heavy applications this is the ideal way to get the most out of it. Tough drives have lagged behind in speed vs the cpu's, mb's, and gpu's so badly. This is the solution, and they will only get faster. Drive ships in quite nice packaging and is amazingly light and thin thinking of how impressive it really is. Installed entire win 7 OS in about 30 seconds (not which includes the file unpack from DVD) I boot now in about ten sec (and no waiting as soon as desktop is up for background apps to load-its prepared to run anything), shutdown in five or less. My biggest programs load in a second. none so far. I guess everybody wants to spend less but you gotta spend if you want overall performance and this was a bargin as far as I'm concerned. forgot to mention. This drive is installed on my machine to hold only OS and applications. I installed a 1TB WD to hold media and docs considering that those variety files actually don't want to read all at as soon as anyway...

Great value, uncomplicated install, and whilst it worked, it was quick. I was seriously impressed unitl a month into ownership. It crashed (see cons). Also, Newegg is fantastic about operating with customers who acquire difficulty gear from them. They are the ideal on the net for this. Let's how it stays this way for this SSD. Right after a month of use, it just crashed with no way to recover, repair, or even diagnose. At least with a old school HD you can here is fire up or a disk click/spin. How it died, I do not know. I shut down my win7 x64 prior to bed, woke up and no boot manager. Yay.. looked at bios and nothing there but my old western dig HD 7200. I then hooked it up to a forensic tool and it doesn't see it either. The drive is toast. I will be getting a replacement, on the other hand if it crashes once more - I'll be just asking for a refund. - rebuilding the OS is a pain and time consuming...

Mainly because it's 3.5" it's an perfect drop in replacement for existing iMac 3.five HDD. No brackets or funky mounting required.My two year old iMac boots in two.25 "spins". It is faster than new iMacs that don't have SSD. Application launching is quite quickly. If you don't require a graphics boost, this drive can save you from getting to purchase a new laptop or computer. Pricey compared to HDD but trending down.
