    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.

    Great SSD, dependable and incredibly fast in RAID-0
    4 out of 5 stars
    Great SSD, dependable and incredibly fast in RAID-0
    I have dual 120GB OCZ Vertex3's configured in a RAID-0 setup (striping). This in effect gives me a 240GB SSD that is capable of speeds up to 1GB/second. I have actually hit these speeds before when transferring large files. The initial burst speed write will be between 800MB and 1.2GBs, and then it will gradually "slow down" to around 200-300MBs/second. So, you can effectively copy half of a 2GB file in under 1 second, and the rest in just a couple seconds more. Keep in mind, I have TWO of these drives configured in a RAID-0 with a SATA 6.0 capable motherboard and SATA cables. You will need a similar setup to get these same numbers of 800MB-1GB / second speeds. Also, I HAD TO ENABLE the Intel Rapid Store Technology driver in order to see these numbers -- using the Marvel controller, I was only hitting around 200-300MB / second max. Installing the Intel Rapid Store driver that came with my motherboard saw an automatic jump in speed -- but also keep in mind that the Intel Rapid Store driver is only useful when running a RAID setup, you won't see any noticeable increase in speed with just one SSD.I run this with an ASUS P8P67 motherboard, an Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB RAM. This machine FLIES through almost any task, and never bogs down or lags. My primary use for the computer is professional graphics including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc. as well as a good amount of heavy 1080p video editing using Adobe Premiere and After Effects from Canon SLRs. I imagine that editing such high resolution video files on a normal rig would choke and die - but this machine handles pretty much everything I've thrown at it.The machine has BSOD'd on me maybe once or twice in the past 8 months, and this was under extremely heavy loads - like running Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, burning a DVD, Outlook, Word, etc. all at the same time. General stability is very good. Also, I have received once or twice a "Drive Error" warning from the Inter Rapid Store program - but each time I just reset the status to "OK" and there were no issues.At this current price of $99, this is probably your best bet for getting into the world of high performance SSDs. If you can afford it and your hardware supports it, get two of them and set these up in a RAID-0 for one of the fastest setups possible.

      5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Satisfied with a Few Ongoing Concerns.
      Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2012
      Verified Purchase
      March 1, 2012
      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.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing...but read before you install
      Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2011
      Verified Purchase
      This is an amazing drive. Incredibly fast.... So fast that when my friend turned it on from a full shut down- they thought that it had only woken up from sleep mode and not actually booted all the way up. Incredible...Super fast installs of applications, my CAD and CS5 software work incredibly faster especially in reading multi GB Photoshop files from this drive... My CAD software is set to automatically back up the files every few minutes and on my old spinning hard disk drive whenever it would backup the file, the application would freeze for a moment while it did its thing...With this SSD....the automatic backups are seamless and completely transparent with ZERO interruption to my work....

      BEFORE YOU INSTALL....READ!!!!
      IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS ON A NEW 2011 MACBOOK PRO with the newest generation of Intel Quad Core i5 or i7 processors DO NOT INSTALL THE TRIM ENABLER THAT HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND ON THE INTERNET....this is a hack and not supported by Apple in ANY way. The trim enabler will cause your system to lock up momentarily or even completely. The drive has built in support for TRIM and really there is no major need for TRIM on the Mac OSX operating system anyway....Save hours of your time and just leave it be and it will be fantastic to use.
      If and when apple supports TRIM for these drives then go ahead....but without their official support you are asking for trouble.

      But again....LOVE THIS DRIVE....best upgrade.....also- check out an 8 GB Memory Upgrade from either Corsair or Crucial. Both companies offer great upgrades to these Macbook Pro 2011 hardwares and an 8GB upgrade actually boosts the native built in graphics chip from 384MB to 512MB.....this on all versions of the 2011 Macbook Pros that include the Intel Graphics 3000 chip.

      Offers plenty of space for system files, BIG applications, and a fair amount of extra memory to store files you currently are working with that you need fast access to...I.E. Photoshop files, CAD files, graphics- but the 120GB really isn't enough to store all your iTunes, iPhotos, etc...so look into OptiBay or an external hard drive if you like to keep EVERYTHING with you.
