Customer Reviews

Great for the price
This product is a fantastic replacement for any notebook drive, but be aware that if you are booting vista, because of the constant read/write procedures that are built in, you won't notice much of a difference in performance between this and a standard 7200 rpm drive. That having been said, its super reliable and if you boot another OS it shows a marked improvement. Also keep in mind that this is by no means among the fastest of the solid state drives available, but it is also significantly less expensive than others. If I could go back, I probably would have spent the extra to get a quicker drive, but ultimately if you are simply looking for something slightly faster than a normal hard disk and much more reliable, you will not disappointed with this product.

OH YES.
This drive is lightning fast. The 2.5" form factor let me drop it right into my laptop... EASY PEASY. I'm never going to worry about shock damage to the drive. My battery life improved, and the system is nice and cool.

Take a look at the photo... there's also a mini USB output. If I ever decide to get a new system, or want to upgrade, I'll just pop the drive back out and use it as a ultra rugged pocket drive.

I'm so happy. Thanks Amazon. Thanks Cavalry.

Did I mention THIS DRIVE IS FAST?

Doesn't work well with Windows 7 64bit via SATA interface (works fine via USB)
It might be just a case of incompatibility with my motherboard's SATA interface. (which I doubt it, as my motherboard is somewhat decent, the high end of gigabyte's offerings for Intel P45 popular chipset EP45-DQ6).

But in any case, I thought it might be helpful to point out that it does't work well over SATA (lots of corrupted files) when running under Windows 7 64bit (haven't tried it under other OSs)

However, it works very well via its handy built-in USB interface.
