This made my mid 2012 Macbook Pro boot in about 10 seconds. Software runs fast and smooth. I have another 80GB 320 series SSD made by Intel in my desktop and this one is considerably faster. Haven't tried Samsung's EVO series but Intel products have always been reliable for me so no need to.

Intel is updating its line of enterprise-class solid state storage offerings today, with a new more cost-effective drive that targets datacenter and cloud-computing applications. The Intel SSD DC S3500 as it is known, is similar in a number of ways to the SSD DC S3700 we evaluated a few months back.

It's difficult to believe, but we wrote our SandForce SF-2000 Series introduction article at the start of 2011. At the time, the market was ready to move from SATA 3Gb/s to SATA 6Gb/s, and SandForce was our hero. SandForce came on the scene fast, and dominated the SATA 3Gb/s market.

Better to buy it on Sale.

Small and Fast

using this as my boot drive on my new gaming rig, Windows 7 starts in like 3-5 seconds everything is super quick. SSD worth every penny can't wait until they are releasing them in 500GB + sizes so I don't need an old mechanical drive for my movies and music

Hi guys SSD is best for main drive... for storage you can choose a Hard Drive. But for your main drive i.e. for OS and Software's installation drive you should better choose an SSD.
