Just big enough to hold Windows 7 Ultimate and a few choice programs. I think I have 2G-3G free after I moved some less critical components to another drive.

Works great and boy is it fast. Really encourage anyone stuck on a platter drive to upgrade to SSD, and if you are cheap like me, look at this as one of your options.

It is what it says it is. Assuming no software problems, no filesystem problems and no hardware problems, it runs fine. I've been using it as the drive for my operating system (GNU/Linux) and using a hard disk for /home. After months of use, it shows no wear (obviously) and I have never had a problem with it.

Remember, to use TRIM, one has to use an operating system which supports it. Installing operating systems to solid state drives requires that the software is designed to be used on it. Years of hard drive installations have resulted in older operating systems (and OS X, last I looked), not designed to be used on them, although, they do work on them as the SSD presents itself as a hard drive to the system.

it has lowest price, it can fit windows 7. works without noise. withstends vibration.
i am using it for my car PC as a system disk. till now there is no errors, no heat, no demage.
didnt put 5 stars because i own it only about 2 month.

Fails upon cold start. It BSOD's the system right off the bat. Once it restarts, it boots up fine. It certain seems to like working when it's warm. Intermittently corrupts system files temporarily and permanently. Permanent corruptions disable Windows 7 capabilities which may vary. I lost the Windows Network Diagnostics ability and therefore lost the ability to log on to my own wireless network. Windows would not allow me to input my WEP code due to corruption. Temporary corruptions result in slow performance and in buggy crashing environments. Devices also become disabled or do not function properly. Put your money elsewhere. It's a cheap and affordable ssd and for a reason. You get what you pay for. This calls for an RMA.
