Why Upgrade to a Solid State Disk Drive?
Your System Runs Faster
With an SSD, your system will start up and shut down quicker, applications will load faster and feel more responsive, and even games will perform better as levels load more quickly. With virtually instant data access times, SSDs also outperform traditional hard drives in data lookup, file transfers, and other disk-intensive work.
Longer Battery Life
Using an SSD with your notebook or netbook means you'll enjoy longer battery life. Traditional mechanical hard drives consume large amounts of power to start up and seek data. With no moving parts, SSDs use less of your precious battery power, resulting in longer running times.
Tougher and More Durable
Because an SSD uses all solid-state electronics with no moving parts, it can handle shock and vibration far in excess of traditional hard drives and will survive wider temperature swings. For durability and toughness on the road, nothing outperforms an SSD.

Fast!,

This review is from: Corsair 120 GB Force Series Ultra Fast TRIM Supported Solid State Drive CSSD-F120GB2-BRKT (Personal Computers)
This drive is FAST! So much that after installing it into my Mac Pro and applying updates that required a reboot I looked away and back at my computer without realizing that the the computer came back from a reboot! Application starts are snappy and the drive is very quiet. The drive will not speed up applications once they are up and running unless your application is making lots of reads from the drive. My primary use for this drive is as a boot drive that has most of my core applications.
I don't have the problems reported about recovering from sleep but I don't mind turning off my computer anymore. Booting up and powering down is very quick. However, this is installed in a desktop so laptops may have different issues with hibernation when the lid is closed.

Great drive!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corsair 120 GB Force Series Ultra Fast TRIM Supported Solid State Drive CSSD-F120GB2-BRKT (Personal Computers)
I got this one almost a month ago. Great disk! Top speeds as advertised! I'm getting 285MB/s peak read speed and 275MB/s peak write speed using recommended ATTO benchmark tool. Windows (fresh install with BIOS AHCI enabled) boots quite fast and overall system response is better now. Windows Aero Score for disc drive rose from 5.2 to 7.6. My overall score now is 7.2.
If you have a "green" drive with low power consumption, low cache (2 - 8MB) or low speed (5400RPM) you will see a great performance leap. If you have a high performance disk then you'll get moderate speed upgrade on small file reading and very good boost on file transfers that exceed the drives' cache size (mine was a Western Digital Black Caviar 640GB with 32MB cache). On the gaming side, large maps on games load really fast. Very good for cutting load times specially on games with huge maps or levels. Also, most productivity tools load in 1-2 seconds. This drive uses the fastest available SandForce 1200 controller available (Dec/2010). Shipped firmware version is 1.1 on my unit. You get 111GB of free space after Windows NTFS formatting (4K allocation units) (extrapolating you should get about 55GB free on the 60GB version with same controller and no performance degradation). Very good price per GB (1.17) and the best performance per dollar ratio around for now (Dec/2010). Very happy!

works well with Lenovo T61, Win7,

This review is from: Corsair 120 GB Force Series Ultra Fast TRIM Supported Solid State Drive CSSD-F120GB2-BRKT (Personal Computers)
Those wondering how their own laptop would work wtih this SSD (F120, with sandforce 1200 controller), I am enjoying my upgrade to Win7 and the SSD drive. System boots up on my C2D 2.0GHz (2GB Mem) within 20 seconds and outlook up/running within 25seconds.
sleep and awake are fast and things are fine. quite literally this is the best upgrade I have done to a laptop in a long time. Now a days, the CPU/Mem have way more capacity than what a business person needs for corporate laptop. the only weakness was the HDD. SSD closes that read/write and reliability (spinning media vs. no mechanical) gap to make the system a solid one. And to think of it, my laptop is 2yrs old technology wise, and I still don't think it is an old system. in general, I would not recommend to do a disk-duplication from a XP. XP isn't really SSD friendly, Win7 is(TRIM support, defrag turned off etc.). And highly recommend a fresh install of WIn7 on the SSD. Do read up on corsair forum on some particular workstations (& some laptops) had problems with firmware 1.0 on these Force SSDs. Do upgrade to 2.0 firmware if that is your case (Gigabyte MotherBoards had some specific issues, not sure if everything is resolved, but my Lenovo/Intel-CPU based system works well, no issues). cheers PN
