Intel Solid State Drive SATA 2 5 Inch Review

I bought 2 of these drives for two of my computers: - MacBook Pro 3.1 (Santa Rosa) 2.4GHz late 2007 and - ASUS ul30vt, from 2010. The drive has, unfortunately for ME, problems with BOTH computers. First, it's based on Sandforce, which doesn't work well with Mac. I found this the hard way as my system would randomly and intermittently hang for 30 seconds to a minute without provocation. He just doesn't like Macs. Second, the problem I can't identify is when I put my asus ul30vt to sleep (after a

I totally agree with Brian Foreman's review of this product. I bought this drive to replace a Kingston SVP200S3 that was installed at my computer shop on June 1st, 2012 and has already started to fail (< 3 months)!

When I bought a 3rd gen i7 laptop I was disappointed with the boot speed in comparison and started looking for an SSD for it. I replaced my 2008 Dell 530s desktop with my laptop, although using the laptop…

I resisted the urge to get an SSD for a few years and finally made the switch. I held off until the MTBF increased significantly compared to a while ago. Also, the affordability trend has made it very tempting. A trusted friend just installed it and reported amazing performance, so I figured it was time to jump in.
