The Sandstone 1200 controller is getting fairly mature, unfortunately this particular model is capped (not by NOT much though!) Kind of like buying an OEM Vista right before Win7 was released. MS will gladly take your hard earned bones for an upgrade ;...

Unfortunately, these drives have been hot sellers and I think the 2 week turnaround is unrealistic from Mushkin ; To Computerman, to even say with a straight face that a 7200 (I'm sure you meant 7.2, NOT 5.2K) RPM drive is as fast as ANY SSD is...

It worked out of the box. Realized I could enhance the speed of my Vista with 5400 rpm Hard drive

Startup and shutdown were slower. Ran Crystal benchmarks. 130 on read and 70 on seg. Randoms were around 10. Disabled index etc

Very fast - 250-260MBps average 279MB peak ; Good price ; Nice firmware

The intel drives in the same price range have slightly faster read speeds (not write though :) ) ; Was averaging 260ish at first, but after a few days it settled around 249.5

So far no lag problems with this SSD at all. Boot and shutdown is much faster. Programs load up with ease. Seems like one of the most affordable SSD's around for this kind of speed. This thing has very quick small read/write which is probably where you...

No where near 285/275. I expected 260/250 but it didn't even reach that

Overall great product! Seems to pretty high quality. Noticeable difference moving from a standard HD. Would definitley buy over again ; The new Sandforce SF1200 controllers and the speed for read and write are amazing

None

Max Read: 276.8MBps ; Avg Read: 263.9MBps ; System booted 10.04 Lucid in 6 seconds from BIOS splash
