BSOD ever since I installed this drive!

Ever since I installed this drive in my brand new PC, I keep getting BSOD over the last week; there was no single day without 2-3 BSOD ! I installed clean copy of Windows 7 64x on this drive; updates all my motherboard drivers; checked by cables; memory! No way you can have this drive become stable. Very unsatisfied.
Cons: Poor quality

Great product

One of the best upgrades I have made to my gaming computers in a while. These drives not only vastly out perform mechanical drives, they are affordable enough to buy multiple for raids and just dominate anything you throw at them. I would definitely recommend buying them as an upgrade or for a new build.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, nicely labeled

Exceptionally low price/performance ratio

If you look around, you can easily break the $0.80/GB threshold that makes it a steal in my mind. Installs Windows 7 in 15 minutes from a flash drive, boots up to desktop in about 16 seconds.
My rig:
Intel Core i3-2120
ASUS P8H77-I Mini-ITX
8GB G.Skill RAM
128 GB Samsung 830 SSD
Lian-Li PC-Q11B case

This SSD is ridiculously fast when compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. I feel stupid for not buying this item sooner; that's how much of an impact it has had on my productivity.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, fast

128 gb SSD

The response time is just the quickest. It is light years ahead of the old platter hard drives. My windows machine is up and running in less than 30 sec and shuts down in half that. I will be buying another very soon.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Using Drive is Awesome

I installed Windows 8 on this new drive. The O/S boots up with my 2009 ThinkPad in about 15 seconds. What I didn't understand right away was how long my battery lasts using this drive. My new 6 cell reports a 3 hour life; I have not used my 9 cell battery yet.
Go for this drive.
