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.

performance
Faster Performance

SSDs have 100x greater throughput and instantaneous access times for quicker boot ups, faster file transfers, and overall snappier performance than hard drives.



speed
Cost-Effectiveness

Because many HDDs are needed to achieve the same performance, SSDs offer greater cost effectiveness for IOPS per dollar.



durability
Greater Durability

The non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted to circuit boards are shock resistant up to 1500g, unlike HDDs with various moving parts.



power
Less Power

SSDs use significantly less wattage at peak load than hard drives, delivering longer battery life in notebooks, less power strain on system, and a cooler computing environment.



sound
Silent Operation

With no moving parts, SSDs run virtually silent in your notebook or PC case to eliminate distracting noises during gaming or entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest upgrade for my computer I have ever madeDecember 4, 2012
By infinityfire
Size Name:128 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
Purchased this on Thursday Last week, ETA from Amazon on 2 day shipping was Monday Dec 3rd. I love it when Amazon gets you your shipment in 24hrs and that's exactly what happened. As far as the product goes everything ran smooth as silk. I installed windows 7 ultimate 64bit in aprox 15 minutes and had all my drivers and necessary software up in about an hour. Boot times are fantastic, 5 seconds to shutdown and 15 to boot from Bios screen to Desktop and when the Desktop loads everything is immediately accessible. Applications Instantly open and I gained aprox 15 FPS on Planetside 2. Hope this is helpful this is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars'Solid' drive, fast performerDecember 4, 2012
By Joseph J. Peters
Size Name:512 GB
This drive is one of the fastest drives you can buy . Not just max performance, but all around performance with all different file types and work loads. All the reviews sites rave about it and for good reason. I was actually surprised at the quality of the build. OCZ went with a metal case to help with heat (I'd assume) and so the drive actually feels more 'solid' (sounds stupid but that was my impression when I took it out of the box).

I bought this on Newegg but I thought I'd share here since the drive is so brand new.
