Cons:
SSD still very pricey for the size of the gigs you get.
Pros: SSD is great to have, got this on discount and it's very affordable SSD. Games and programs loading is such a big difference. |

Cons:
None really.
Pros: Like all SSDs, it is faster quieter, and requires less power than a HDD.Reasonably priced Comment:
This SSD may not be as fast as the sandforce based drives, but it is a better value. I use a vertex 2 for my OS, and this drive for my games and apps. This is massive step up from a HDD and you won't regret buying it. |

Cons:
not as fast as sandforce based drive
Pros: good alternative for non-trim based use Comment:
I choose this drive because I needed an ssd that had aggressive internal garabe collection, a self-maintenance feature that is important for users where trim is not an option.Works great, came with the lastest firmware(1.6) and has good performance.Make sure to do all the ssd tweaks to get the best out of your drive. |

Cons:
None that i can find, well maybe too small
Pros: Small, Fast, Comment:
This was my first SSD and it is awesome, i have it as a boot drive but have enough space for antivirus software and 1-3 games and still have 30gigs remaining, i was not used to how small it is because i got a very small case, cant have a SSD 3.5 to 2.5 bay adapter so i set it on the bottom of my case, but the overall solid quality is good. |

Cons:
Drive is actually only 89.3GB's not 96GB's as advertised by OCZ.
Pros: SpeedCapacity Cost (sale and rebate) Comment:
Bought this drive on sale and including the 25$ mail in rebate this SSD is a great value. Tested my drive and I had sequential reads of 233MB's and sequential writes of 165MB's not too shabby. I am very happy with this SSD, and I highly recommend it. |

Cons:
Could always have a higher capacity, but I didn't buy this SSD for storage.
Pros: Speed of courseEasy transition from 5400 rpm laptop drive0.1ms access time :)~20s boot up from push of a button & 4 second power off from the click of shutdown. Comment:
My first SSD. I now hope to buy one for my desktop sometime soon. These drives are great.Here is a link to an HDTune bench I ran right after I installed Win 7 Pro x64 and the first round of Windows updates.http://gallery.neoseeker.com/ParanahJoe/photostream/2312325570 |

Cons:
Cost, lack of 3.5" tray
Pros: Perfect size for OS drive, faster than VRaptor Comment:
Money well spent. While I felt it was necessary to point out that this is faster than a VRaptor it did not feel like a "night and day" changing experience. I benched the drive with Crystal DiskMark and it the results were similar to others, which is a good thing. Did not have any issues with installing OS, applications, etc. Did not experience stuttering or slowdowns. I've also used Windows 7 optimization tool from OCZ forums and haven't had any issues yet. Also, note that this drive comes with the LATEST firmware (1.6) meaning you won't have to update it right out of the box (for the time being). Has TRIM. |

Cons:
A little on the expensive side per GB. $180 with MIR for 96Gb
Pros: Fast and silent! Comment:
I chose this drive over the Kingston V-series 128Gb due to its fast(er) random read/write. It was a breeze to install on a MacBook Pro 13" (2009) 2.53 GHz with 4Gb RAM, just make sure you have a T6 screw driver in hand.I upgraded from a stock 250Gb 5400RPM HDD, so the performance jump due to this SSD is huge. Applications launch in 1 to 2 seconds. Word 2008 takes longer at under 4 seconds. Aperture 3 runs very fast. (Photo editing is the reason I got this SSD). Plus, it's completely silent!I'll be upgrading all my future laptops with a SSD for sure! |

Cons:
None really.
Pros: Price ($200 on sale, no rebate), performance, brand Comment:
I got two of these for RAID 0 action, paired with a p5q-pro motherboard. I ptu the page file on a 2x1TB raid 0 harddrive pair. The performance is fantastic. No complaints. |

Cons:
No 2.5in to 3.5in adapter included.
Pros: Super fast, silent, and a more versatile amount of storage. Comment:
This unit has completely transformed my computer and not only is its size more than adequate as a boot drive, it also fits all my applications, and several of my most commonly played games with room to spare (~40GB). Even with my jury rigged P5K flashed to P5KR (to enable AHCI) I get a stable 240MB read from HDtach and about 25 second bootup. The 96GB SSD fills the void both in terms of space and cost for people like me that wish to run a little more than the OS and Office from the drive without having to fork out extra money for the 120GB+ SSD's. My only issue with this unit and most SSD's out there is that for the price they are charging for these units, to not include even a simple 2.5in to 3.5in adapter seems quite sleazy and cheap. Other than that small issue, I highly recommend this unit to everyone looking to add a SSD to their computer. |
overall I liked the OCZ SSD, seems to be very stable so far and performance is good for the price you get
