Just bought my second one

Pros: The first one went in one of my my desktop boxes, and I was impressed enough to buy one for my laptop. Just put it in today, and it is a whole different beast!! What a difference. All I know about these drives is that they are very fast, and work VERY well.
I have seen people write about these while running around in circles, pulling out their hair, yelling about TLC instead of MLC,, It's a Bad Drive and The Sky is Falling!!! All I can say is that these drives work extremely well and are VERY fast. Plus, they cost a LOT less than the 840 Pro series, that are MLC. They work very well, and The Sky is NOT falling. At least not yet. I guess time will tell.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

this product has great performance

SSD in the macbook pro 2010 was an excellent decision for the replacement of a 7200 rpm hitachi hard drive. Performance is through the roof, boot time is now 12 seconds where the hard drive boot up time was 45 seconds. Other functions are now instantaneously where it was a few seconds before able to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These SSDs are great! I have two of them, one in my gaming laptop and one in my ps3. Both the laptop and the ps3 are running faster, and my pc boots up very quickly. Don't bother using the CD that came with the SSD for your PC, just download the new software from the site.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
