5.0 out of 5 stars Suits my needs, November 5, 2008

By	empi - See all my reviews

I just got a new laptop with a 64 GB SLC SSD. These days, that isn't quite enough space, so I ordered this to serve as a data disk for music, pictures, etc.

So far, this has served its purpose very well, but there is one major caveat that may make some people think twice - the write speed. Ignore the stated specs! Read speeds, which is all that's really important for what I need, are fine - I generally get a transfer rate FROM the drive of about 20-25 MB/sec. Not stellar, but decent. Writes, however, are a tragedy - sequential writes are, at best, about 3.5 MB/sec, and often slower. So, getting my 16 GB of music to the drive took a while, but once it was all there, things were fine.

So - five stars for me, since it's just what I was looking for, and the write speed doesn't bother me. But be warned - those stars may drop pretty fast for you, if writing to the drive is important.

BTW, a USB adapter is included, which is nice. It gives me yet another option for those times when I need to transfer data from my laptop to my desktop.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to improve recording speed, January 20, 2009

By	Kubas "Kubas" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

In order to boost recording speed, go to control panel, system, device manager, disk drives, find your ssd usb card right click on it, go to properties, then policies and click on better performance (or similar, depending on the OS). This will enable write caching and vastly improve the performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars good but not fast, October 31, 2008

By	DBS (fl, panhandle) - See all my reviews

i bought this along with an sd/mmc card reader just to make use of the expresscard slot on my macbook pro. i havent taken it out in weeks. it is very good for transition files and low speed required files. the interface is much slower than usb/firewire but it has many uses and 32GB is a lot of space. recommended for those not using expresscard slot for usb/firewire cards or audio expresscard.
