So far so good with my drive. Used Clonezilla to migrate my Win7 / Linux dual boot spinning drive over and all went smoothly. Boot time/ resume from sleep time is very snappy. I mainly use Linux and have 16GB of RAM so no need for swap which is not recommended to be placed on SSD.
Pros:
  • speed
  • quiet
  • deal price
  • mounting hw included
Cons:
  • none so far

Works well, Easy Install

I needed an M.2 sata drive and this was the best deal I could find at the time. I am not one to run benchmarks, but this drive is plenty fast. I run a Sandisk SSD on an older laptop, and an OCZ SSD in my desktop. This drive easily meets or beats the performance of the OCZ.

INTEL Solid drive is optimal solution for every day computer: Real lieder in price / GB and 5 years warranty. I have 180gb for main system drive. It's enough for keeping your PC in excellent work condition. Internet is never "frozen" very fast booting.

Great SSD especially for the price

One of the fastest SSD's at this price and a great product. Intel also have a monitoring application for their drives which i think is an excellent benefit.

Great Buy!

I recommend this SSD for home pc. This was a great buy and there have been no hic-ups in the product's performance. My home PC boots up faster and lag time in drive retrieval is non-existent.
