+ Good performance; + 3 years warranty; + Affordable

The second generation SandForce SF-2000 series controller is coming up on its third year in production. It's a venerable yet still viable solution for low-cost solid state drives that performs well in a consumer grade environment.

Since the solid state drive first came to market we have seen both the capacities and performance soar to remarkable levels whilst the price has dropped considerably, making them now the drive type of choice for many users.

Affordable price point; Sought after performance; Reliable brand; Strong IOPs performance; HyperX branding

SandForce controller does result in low performance when handling incompressible data

Company has always stood behind their products. Easy to contact . Very good PR A+ company. SSD drive fast and low cost.

This is the 3rd one of these I've owned. I have one at work and have had it for about 2 years now. I have one in my laptop at home and this one is going in the wife's machine.I continue to buy the same brand and model because this drive has been very reliable and I worry about the hit and miss...

Not A Lot Of Space

The Good: Arrived quickly, especially for USPS delivery. Nicely packaged. Came with a very nice blue anodized aluminum adapter for installation in a standard 3.5" HDD bay. Feels very solid, also very sleek looking. Took Windows 7 64 like a champ. No errors of any kind yet.

I installed this on my 2011 macbook pro 13", replacing the original 5400 rpm HDD. Needless to say it was pretty easy to change and the computer now is much faster! It boots in 18 seconds and when the desktop appears, it's ready to use right away! Recommended!

Easy To Install; Reliable

Expensive

Futureshop matched the price. The shipment was on time. The SSD is very fast as expected. The installation was hassle-free (My other SSD gave me very hard time to install and died after six months). No complain so far. Highly re-commend.

I was looking for a SSD and was about to buy a more expensive one until I saw this. At first I thought maybe it is not as fast as what I was looking...

This SSD is fast and very resaonable

Nothing; I am happy with it
