Dead...All Lost

Fast, easy install to laptop. Worked just fine until

Drive completely died out of nowhere, tried to slave to another machine to test and nothing. All data gone....just gone! Not to sure if I would recommend this , probably wont take my chances on this particular brand again. Not Happy at all

great

I installed it on my asus g53sw and it is fast. Boot time fast, opening programs fast. Satisfied with this SSD. Had a little problem with hibernation and freezing at the start but support recommended firmware upgrade and now it works just super.

Great SSD

Sandforce controller??? A little too techy for me, All I want to know is does it work like its supposed to and from what I've seen, Hell yeah!

significant increase in performance over RAID5 config, now I think I am ready to phase out my platters; Windows 8 boots in about 3-4 seconds, Yeow

Was on sale when I bought her, now back at full price I may not be so quick to get another one. then again, I can be a cheap bastich, because its worth the money

Replaced Crucial 256gb M4 and am happy with it

Works great as the OS drive for my desktop

I put my OS and the applications I want to load fast on it and have to say I'll probably never go back to regular hd again.

faster than expected

This ssd has made my computer faster than I expected. Boot times for windows 7 is about 20 seconds. microsoft word and outlook are open in 1 second. The bottleneck was the hard drive but now there is no waiting.
