Not huge capacity for the money, but replacing an internal IDE hard drive with this SSD has transformed the performance of an older laptop; well worth the investment over a new laptop.

I really liked the Z400s 128GB at 25 cents per gigabyte. I don't know what happened to that price, but it appears to be gone now. At $44.99, the price is still low compared to many of the other products on the market. However, there are some drives...

At launch, the new Intel SSD 730 Series makes a very good internal drive choice for your computer, but it'll become a better value when its street price drops below the current suggested retail price.

Bought this SSD primarily for my OS/frequently used applications on, and coming from a 1.5tb 5400rpm HDD, this thing is FAST. My boot times didn't decrease significantly, but it's noticeable. Total time from power on to desktop is under 30 seconds, and...
