If you follow the tweaks that are on the OCZ website, this drive is a welcome upgrade to ANY computer, PC or laptop. The price per gig ratio is still a little high, but that will come down as more people adopt this technology. In my desktop PC, I have noticed considerably faster bootup speeds, and most web pages load almost instantaneously. I wish the drive was bigger, but for now I just make sure to load only programs on it and save all my other data to a 1TB SATA drive. I will be ordering another of these soon for a RAID0 setup, but even now I get a 5.9 rating in the Windows Vista Experience. Again, though, follow all the tweaks on the OCZ site before passing judgement on this drive. Highly recommended.

Update 4/18/2009: DO NOT buy this drive if you are expecting OCZ to honor any advertised rebates. The web is littered with tales of people being denied rebates for any number of arbitrary reasons. I am no exception. The only people who ever seem to receive their rebates are those that push the issue with OCZ, and even then results are iffy. Again, the product itself is fine, just purchase it knowing that the initial price you pay will most likely be the final price as well, and if you are fortunate enough to get your rebate, all the better.

Though these MLC SSD with a single controller have been burned for having issues with random writes thanks to the inadequate JMICRON controller, I got some very impressive speeds after some tweaking.

I installed into my Asus Eee 1000HE and used the ghost files from the restore DVD to restore Windows XP to its factory state. I did the majority of the tweaks that OCZ recommended, and now my system loads amazingly quickly. I havent had any major stuttering issues like some have, but then again, this is a netbook, Im not going to be doing heavy writing to disc like many enthusiasts might with their desktop PCs.

I've been watching this technology for a while now and have been anxious to give SSDs a try. I feel the price/performance has finally reached a point where it made sense to give it a go...

I recently purchased a Lenovo W500 laptop and decided to downgrade from Vista Business back to XP Pro. The factory installed 5400 RPM hard drive was sluggish and noisy so I thought I would kill two birds... I installed this SSD with a fresh copy of XP Pro and the machine is EXTREMELY fast now and almost completely silent.

The manufacturer has an excellent support forum (www.ocztechnologyforum.com) that contains lots of useful info for setting these drives up and getting the most out of them. I followed the recommended formatting/optimizing procedures in the forum and have been VERY satisfied with this drive so far...
