The SSD Advantage
Whether you're refreshing an older laptop or trying to maximize the potential of the latest platform, SSDs provide substantial benefits over traditional hard drives.
Greater Durability
Solid State Drives feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted to circuit boards, shock resistant up to 1500g. Hard disk drives consist of various moving parts making them susceptible to shock and damage.
Faster Performance
SSDs have 100 times greater throughput and instantaneous access times for quicker boot-ups, faster file transfers, and overall snappier performance than hard drives. HDDs can only access the data faster the closer it is from the read/ write heads, while all parts of the SSD can be accessed at once.
Less Power Consumption, Silent Operation, and Lightweight
SSDs use significantly less wattage at peak load than hard disk drives--less than 2W versus 6W for an HDD--delivering longer battery life in notebooks, less power strain on system, and a cooler computing environment. With no moving parts, SSDs run virtually silent in your notebook or PC case to eliminate distracting noises during gaming or entertainment. And SSDs won't weigh down your laptop, netbook, or tablet PC when you're on the go.
SSDs run much cooler than hard disk drives... ...and much quieter, too.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I read a lot of reviews after I purchased this product a couple months ago and I started to really worry about all the problems with the SandForce chip. Not to worry, the new drives being shipped have been updated with a fix because there was absolutely no issues at all when installing and running this drive. Also, I later learned the difference between asynchronous and synchronous NAND memory used in SSDs. I had no knowledge of this difference going into my purchase, but I was happy to know that this drive features synchronous NAND which is overall much faster in various tasks according to benchmarks in some reviews. Do a search and see for yourself...
PROS:
- Super Quiet operation (I'm just starting to realize how wonderful silent computing really is)
- Synchronous NAND memory at a cost not much more than models with asychronous NAND
(Do the research, its worth it to pay $10-$20 more for synchronous models--example: Vertex 3 (synchronous) vs Agility 3 (asynchronous) or Patriot PyroSE (synchronous) vs Patriot Pyro (asynchronous)--especially if there is a promotional rebate)
- Computer boots up to a useable state at Windows desktop in about 15 seconds
- 7.9 on Windows Experience Index (highest possible score)
- 3 year warranty
CONS:
- Only 55.7GB out of 60GB is useable (There is no avoiding it, but still...at this price you really want every last GB you can get.)
Two Tips For Using This Drive That You May Find (VERY) Helpful:
- If you plan on using SATA AHCI mode, then save yourself any possible headaches and/or fits of rage and make sure you enable AHCI mode for this drive using the motherboard BIOS BEFORE YOU INSTALL WINDOWS!!
- If you plan on using the 60GB model as a boot drive for Windows 7 you may be surprised that you end up with less free space than you expected due to Windows hibernation or sleep mode. This is because Windows will create a hidden file called Hiberfil.sys and it will be approximately the same size as the amount of RAM that you have installed. The computer uses the Hiberfil.sys file to store a copy of the system memory on the hard disk when the hybrid sleep setting is turned on. I have 16GB of RAM and I was dumbfounded that 16GB of space on my SSD was mysteriously missing. Since I don't plan on letting my computer go into hibernation (it's either on or off for me), I disabled hibernation which reclaimed approximately 16GB of SSD space.
NOTE: If you choose to do this, there is a Microsoft Support page that has more details and informs you step by step how to do it (it is a piece of cake and takes only seconds to type one command into the command console). If you are a little scared of using the command console then Microsoft also has a "Fix It For Me" tool which can disable and re-enable hibernation for you.
My Concerns:
So I just installed this SSD into my Windows 7 with I7 laptop two days ago. It's used as my primary drive for the moment. I haven't tried to hibernate it for two reasons: 1. It boots up in less than 30 seconds. 2. I've heard that hibernating causes problems.
So far my concerns are, "When will BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occur?" And before I made it my primary hard drive running Win7, I loaded the OCZ toolbox- but for some reason, the software did not recognize the SSD- so I couldn't flash it to the latest firmware.
REVIEW:
This is my first SSD I've ever owned. I love the fact that the load time on this SSD is so insanely fast- and so far I haven't had any issues. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars because I feel one shouldn't have to be in a constant state of worry of when a person's solid state hard drive will just give out at anytime.
I'll be updating this review often so you and I will know what issues I experience.
April 18, 2012
So far no issues. I've accidentally hibernated my notebook when I closed the lid- but I report no crashes or anything. Speeds are fantastic. I have not update the firmware or anything as of now.
May 9, 2012
I'm loving the SSD. No crashes, BSODS, or any complications of that sort. I've been hibernating, putting it on Sleep mode, running games, videos, documents, etc. with no problems.
Windows 7 continues to load at blazing speeds (less than 20 sec from a full start up or from hibernating mode) and super convenient for school purposes, gaming purposes, or anything else.
The moment something goes wrong, I'll DEFINITELY put something up. At this time- I absolutely love this SSD and will buy another SSD product in the future.
I'm very satisfied, so I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars.
Side note:
Just to let you know what type of person I am: I'm an average computer geek who just wants a pc or laptop to last me another six years. I invest things that'll last me for a while. I take great care of my "expensive toys". I use air to blow out dirt from pc's, laptops, game consoles, etc.

Ma ora passo alla recensione:
Originariamente lo volevo installare sul netbook per avere maggiori prestazioni , ma quando l' ho montato anche se ho visto prestazioni incredibili e un rumore praticamente assente pensate che si avviava in 15-30 secondi con tutti i programmi inutili che installa l' asus! Ho un EEE PC 1015 PEM. Tutti i programmi si avviavano in massimo 2 secondi ed era incredibile, ma visto che io il netbook lo uso poco rispetto al fisso ho preferito di installarlo li, dove avrei sfruttato maggiormente le sue incredibili prestazioni.
Appena installato sul fisso l' ho impostato in AHCI e installato windows 7 professional, e che dire è incredibile, si avvia in 10 secondi e finalmente per installare gli aggiornamenti ci vogliono meno di 5 minuti per avere un sp1 installato e quasi tutti gli aggiornamenti (parlo di tempo di installazione, per il download ci vuole un pò, ma non centra nulla con l' SSD) poi i programmi si avviano in secondi, office 2010 (word) si apre in meno di un secondo e in generale funziona perfettamente, ho scaricato il tool OCZ per controllare il firmware, ma risulta già la 2.15 che è l' ultima versione.
Io per migliorare un pò il tutto ho spostato cartelle tipo TEMP, Documenti e Download su un HD tradizionale da 500GB in modo che non mi occupino spazio sull' ssd visto che consigliano di non riempirlo mai oltre l' 80%!
Che dire l' HD è Sata 3, io lo uso su sata 2 attualmente (l' ho preso sata 3 per un aggiornamento della mobo e poi costava 2€ di differenza!)
e su sata 2 mi fa 250 MB/s in lettura /scrittura circa chè è 2,5 volte quelle del mio WD che va a massimo 100MB/s, la differenza sta però anche nel tempo di accesso che è :
SSD: 0.16 ms
HD WD: 16ms
Quindi che dire, come ho letto su un blog +SSD , - Ghz è un consiglio davvero efficiente considerato il miglioramento di prestazioni e che si riesce a fare tutto ma molto più rapidamente!
Alla prossima,
Gio
Posseggo sia la vertex3 che l'agility3 che il solid3,tutte da 60 giga. Le prestazioni delle 3 ssd sono simili in una macchina con controller sata vecchio, in quanto è il controller che fa da collo di bottiglia,invece con controller nuovo si vede chiaramente che la vertex3 è piu' veloce dell'agility3 che a sua volta è piu' veloce del solid3, quindi nel caso vorreste prendere una ssd per un vecchio portatile o un vecchio desktop andate tranquillamente su quella che trovate a prezzo inferiore delle tre. In fase di boot vince di decine di secondi rispetto all'hard disk. Nella confezione sono inclusi sia l'adattatore da 3 e mezzo a 2 e mezzo, che le viti per montarlo.
Seguendo le varie comparative su tomshw.it, ho optato per questo modello, dato il buon rapporto prezzo-prestazioni e per la qualità della marca.
Il prodotto è arrivato in tempo breve, come consueto per Amazon. La confezione è compatta, e contiene l'SSD, le viti per il montaggio, le istruzioni e un adesivo per il PC.
Il montaggio è semblicissimo, basta collegarlo ed installare il sistema operativo.
Ho subito notato un grande miglioramento delle prestazioni, il tempo di avvio è più che dimezzato, i programmi si caricano istantaneamente. Nei test che ho eseguito si notano velocità di picco di circa 250MB/s in lettura e 100 in scrittura, ma sono limitate dal fatto che il mio computer ha interfacia SATA2 e non SATA3. Le prestazioni in lettura casuale passano da 1 MB/s del disco magnetico ai 100 (cento!) dell'SSD.
Penso che sia attualmente il migliore upgrade possibile, con miglioramenti prestazionali che influenzano molto l'utilizzo normale del PC.
