Pros: Will speed up most used programs and cut boot times measurably. I go from BIOS “verifying DMI pool” to a usuable desktop(Win7 64) in about 30 seconds. Most used apps and games spring to life almost instantly. Cons: Overly aggressive APM puts the platter to sleep causing multi-second delays when accessing a less frequently used program. Very annoying. Sometimes you will click an icon and nothing happens for several seconds until the platter starts to spin up. Drive is relatively noisy….

Pros: As I installed this drive in a PS3 that is what my comments are based on. – MUCH faster over stock 120GB 5400RPM drive. Bootup and flipping through menus is much faster. – Purchased because of my impatience in Gran Turismo 5. I am much happier now. Races load much faster especially after a few loads and the info is cached in the SSD. Navigating through screens and cars is MUCH faster. – FAR cheaper than an SSD with roughly the same or just under the same performance in a PS3 system. -…

Pros: -Decreased start up times -Slightly decreased start times of frequently used applications -Good cost/gb for the performance increase Cons: -Wish the SSD cache were larger (8 or 16GB) Overall Review: Running in MacBook Pro 3,1 (June 2007). Previously running Snow Leopard, now running Lion, both with no issues.

Pros: 1. Fast! 2. Literally cut over 45 seconds from boot time 2. 2nd drive seems to be working fine for now (less than two weeks since install) Cons: 1. First drive was DOA, just beeped at me and randomly spun up and down 2. Wished it had a higher capacity Overall Review: Bought it at local big box store for $89.99 If this drive holds out I will definitely get one or two for my future desktop build, which at that point I am hoping for a 3.5″ drive with at least 1TB from Seagate

Pros: This drive is great for any OS boot drive. It loads windows in seconds, tried it with ubuntu and it was almost instant on. When I open programs on it they seem almost like they were already running (like firefox, vlc player, ect) If you use this as your “C” drive then the reads will be faster then any other normal harddrive. This drive, while slower then SSDs that cost the same, it is 4-6 times as large. More importantly, this drive is OS independant, it will run on non-Win7 or newer…

Pros: works, quiet plopped windows 8 on it. works Cons: does not give out hugs Overall Review: i’ve used an ocz ssd but found it to be less reliable than a tried and true magnetic disk hope this is best middle ground

Pros: Very Good Performance Good survival rate from what i can tell from fellow eggers Price was perfect! Picked up for 49.99 free ship! Cons: It is a little thick, so certain laptops it may not fit into. Other than that..its a good little drive. Overall Review: Customer of mine was looking for a speed boost & an increase in storage space but had a small budget to do so. The XT was a perfect compromise for this scenerio. As we built her PC from salvaged parts from her old Dell Dimension…

Pros: This drive is noticeably faster than the 5400rpm drive it replaced. Cons: I have found this drives speed is not comparable to SSD speeds. Overall Review: This drive is advertised as comparable to SSD speeds. I have not found this true, although this drive is faster than the 5400rpm drive it replaced it is not comparable to SSD drives I have used in the past. If you are looking for a good HDD, I recommend this drive. If you are looking for a cheap drive alternative with SSD speeds I do…
