Haters will hate! This is a great SSD

I bought this drive for $55 which is a lot for a 128GB SSD. I used an external hard drive enclosure to clone my current hard drive to an SSD. Unfortunately, OCZ does not include cloning software. However, if you are using a Western Digital/Maxtor or Seagate drive, you can download Acronis True Image WD Edition or Seagate Discwizard respectively; both are based on Acronis True Image and allow you to clone your current hard drive. After cloning the drive, I started Windows and ran the Windows Experience Index; This will optimize your system for SSD by enabling Trim. After restarting, I noticed that Windows starts faster. I ran the ATTO test and it got 275 MB/s, which is respectable since my laptop is SATA II only. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B007ZWVCOY/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0&isremote=0 The firmware supplied with the drive is the latest version 1.52 from OCZ. This drive comes with minimal packaging and no accessories, so make sure you have a SATA cable and 3.5" adapter in case you need them. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I sent a discount and am waiting for my prepaid American Express card. Feel free to buy OCZ drives, they offer excellent value for money and offer reliable solutions to speed up your computing experience.
