Crucial V4 CT128V4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Easy Laptop Install Kit Crucial V4 CT128V4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Easy Laptop Install Kit

Pros: Faster than a 5400 rpm hard disk.

Cons: Dead in 6 months - could not recover any data from this drive. Could not read from drive. Have other disks backed up.

Pros: Works fast, instantly improved my laptop. Came with a data transfer kit and everything. Do your research crucial is one the best brands for an SSD, it might be slower in speeds but it's more reliable.

Cons: None

Pros: works. windows loads faster than the old 5400rpm drive. increased battery life to over 4hrs on my old Sony Vaio with an Athlon II 2.1Ghz and new Samsung 1.35v ram.

Cons: after windows loads it seems that most applications and services hang for a few seconds, which makes the overall experience feel slower than the old HDD. i was hoping for a snappy interface like the SSD in my desktop gave me, but that's on a sata3 port.

Other Thoughts: the included cloning software worked great. i had ordered recovery discs from Sony and found out they do not allow a fresh install of windows, which would have been ideal. so maybe the sluggishness is coming from the dirty old install of windows but i can't be sure.

Pros: Faster boot time, easy to use data transfer kit/software, and install.

Cons: None at this time.

Pros: Cost effective upgrade to older but still viable high performance systems with SATA II interfaces. I picked up a pair of Lenovo ThinkPad T510's for about 20% of original retail. $100 of SSD later they are still solid, high performance Windows 7 workstations, at disposable prices.

Cons: With Windows 7 - none. I wouldn't bother to upgrade an XP machine at this price point.

Other Thoughts: Disk performance has been the limiting factor for overall performance for quite some time. The T510's scored a 6.8 on processor and 7.2 on disk after installing these drives - that's a very decent score and we should get another couple of useful years out of these systems.

Pros: None that I encountered.

Cons: This drive is slow. I configured everything as told to by crucial support and still my read write speeds were nowhere near what they should have been. As this drive is a no-return model I would be very weary of purchasing it.

Used it with Windows 7 and Mac 10.8. Both were slow, and would lag for 5-10 seconds at a time.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy.

Pros: fast and added 1.5hrs battery life on my laptop

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: worth every penny. I was in the market for a new laptop but decided to go this route. Made my machine like new again for next to nothing in price.

Pros: Works great, simple SATA II for older-ish laptops. Put it in a a53sv laptop. Was running very slow until I installed drivers that were not indicated missing. Basically intel drivers and chipset drivers. So make sure 100% you get the manufacturer drivers. The benchmarks show great results and I'm happy with the cheap purchase.

Cons: None so far, will update if dies.

Other Thoughts: Get it, cheaper, fast, even comes with a SATA/power to USB . Basically giving you access to an external drive kit.
