Excellent cost-to-speed ratio

Slow read transfer rates

While there are certainly some high points in the Samsung’s benchmark scores, the drive’s overall performance was just slightly better than average. But given that most other SSDs we’ve tested offer less than a 10 percent performance improvement yet...

VERY IMPORTANT addendum to my review of 5 weeks ago!!

None except high price which is dropping. The more the economy is trashed, the lower the price will go.

F-A-S-T-E-R than a speeding bullet. Installed it into my 2yo laptop in < 2 minutes. Partitioned and formatted it, then copied my data to it easily. It is noiseless, cool, and looks very durable (2MM hrs MTBF!). NOW my laptop is ~2x faster! WinXP-Pro...

PRICE = ouch! Prices will drop by end of '08 or 1-09. I was lucky and just bought mine "used" from a computer re-seller for $450 via auction. Normally I buy NewEgg of course, but I could not afford $800

Speed, Quiet

Having to trim a 200GB (100GB+ used) hard drive with Vista installed on it to 64GB. Managed to get it down to 37GB

Awesome. Huge speed boost. Installing leopard on it took < 20 minutes. Here's what I did: buy the cheapest macbook out there, with no upgrades. 2.1 ghz Penryn-3M, 2x512 mb apple ram. Get this drive (or the cheaper, albeit slightly slower and more...

None.

My Desktop PC with Vista boots 17% faster than with my old 10,000 RPM HDD and a definite improvement in gaming

I would have given it a 5 rating, but more thought needs to be given to the screw hole placement, if this HDD is used in a desktop PC. I had to drill 4 holes in my PC case and use spacers

This drive is absolutely one of the best investments I have made in my entire computer career. If someone is willing to spend a bit more money for an extremely fast harddrive (or SSD in this case), have their data much more secure, consume less power...

The cost is a bit high, but as the technology becomes more readily available it should drop

Extremely FAST in every respect even compared to the fastest Desktop drive. This thing is dead silent.

Steep price, but LOOK! The price just dropped to only $799! That makes this one the one to buy. OCZ drive is EXACTLY the same drive as this. OCZ SSD is nothing more than a re-branded Samsung SSD.
