One of the best upgrades I've ever installed. The SSD is ridiculously fast. The computer starts up and shuts down in seconds instead of minutes. I was concerned about screwing up the install, which involves moving all the OS files from the hard drive to the SSD.

Fast; great install software

Nothing yet

Picked this up for the latest machine I put together, I'm mostly sticking to Intel and Samsung Pro these days. I've had about 3 out of 5 OCZ SSD's die on me at the 1.5/2 yr mark. The few builds I've done with Intel SSD'd are still going nice and solid.

Intel controller; nice and fast; decent sale price

None

I put this bad boy in my old sony VAIO FZ285u (2007 model) and the difference in performance is insane! The laptop boots up in seconds instead of endless minutes.

It works on sata 1 i did test it 120mb/s read :)) No seriously i should update my system Nice drive 15min for windows 7 install I feel little to no difference at boot time 17sec but seriously i should update my system

The Intel SSD 520 breaks through setting new SATA6 performance standards due to three important features: High quality synchronous NAND, a more mature controller and more polished firmware.

Fastest SATA6 SSD for consumers; "End to End" 256bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard; Great overall performance; SandForce controller polished firmware

Still a costly upgrade for regular consumers

Please note that this is an OEM product, even if the picture is stating that is Intel boxed product. Power/data cables are not present, also the mounting kitt.

Buy one ! the rotating disc hard drive is all but redundant except for storage, at the price they are now theres no excuse especially if your running a sata 6.0 Gb/s motherboard.I,ve used SSD drives since they appeared and tried various manafacturers..

Speed,...+ 5 yr warranty.Previously had a Intel 510 to this drive noticable difference in performance with the 520

Nothing ...does exactly what it says on the tin

Great drives, the transaction went smoothly start to finish
