A GREAT deal worth EVERY cent!

I have only had the drive for about a month, but it has proved it's worth in spades. After I've had it for several months, barring any issues, I'll update this to 5 stars without question.
I used this drive to replace a WD Green Caviar SATA HDD I had begrudgingly used as my system drive in my custom tower build. Since the Green drives are energy savers this thing blows it out of the water in terms of speed!! My boot time has been reduced from about 5 minutes to maybe 15s. I am now using the 2TB green drive as a secondary storage drive and running purely my OS on this SSD and anything it runs is light years faster.
Since I have a custom tower I had plenty of physical location choices for installation, so that wasn't a problem. It fit into a slot perfectly with the included spacer.
I didn't make use of the Acronis software download as I wanted to perform a clean install, so I have no input for that; But the full installation was quick, successful, and runs like a dream.
If you're looking to replace an old HDD and see excellent, immediate performance gains, this drive is a great value!
