5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a laptop, June 25, 2009
This review is from: OCZ Technology 120 GB Vertex Series SATA II 3.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive OCZSSD2-1VTX120G (Personal Computers)
The SSD arrived perfectly well packaged, and worked immediately (no need for flashing it). It fits well in a Sony Vaio SZ, although it is 2 mm thicker than the original HDD, so make sure you have a little extra space.

As for the performance, it is simply incredible. You'll never go back to a standard HDD! Windows XP pro took 3 mn to boot with the previous HDD (7200 rpm), now with the Vertex it's 25 seconds (cloned disc). Everything runs much faster -- just DO NOT keep your automatic defrag software, as they cause problems on SSD.

Excellent purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars 120GB Vertex, June 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OCZ Technology 120 GB Vertex Series SATA II 3.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive OCZSSD2-1VTX120G (Personal Computers)
I've been in IT since 1991 (officially) and worked with every type of hard drive imaginable. Never, I do mean NEVER, have I seen a hard drive of any type, of any configuration perform like this one. I'm dual booting OS X 10.5.7 and Windows XP Professional. Both load with a usable GUI sub 10 seconds. I don't wait for requests anymore - makes me feel like I've got the fastest iMac on the planet. This drive rules. I'm buying everyone in the house a Vertex!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast but expensive, November 30, 2009
This review is from: OCZ Technology 120 GB Vertex Series SATA II 3.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive OCZSSD2-1VTX120G (Personal Computers)
I picked up this SSD last week, and it has made a big difference on my overall system performance. I have a HP Elitebook 8530w with 8GB DDR 2 RAM, 512MB ATI graphics processor, and an Intel P9600 CPU. The original drive was a 7200 RPM Hitatchi. This is drive came quick, installed quick, loaded a clean install of Windows 7 (64 bit) in under 20 minutes. Once the OS was installed, but before apps and data, it went from "power off" to a fully loaded MSN page in 20 minutes. With Outlook 2010 beta installed, it loads all the add-in and opens outlook to a full inbox in 2-3 seconds.

I did run into some challenges migrating my previous HDD's OS load, apps, and data to the new disk. Eventually got it using Acronis True Image Home 2010. I have a blog post series here about my experience if you'd like to know more ([...]).

Overall, great product. My timing was definitely bad, though - it's almost $100 less this week than last (I paid $499).
