Consumer review (newegg.com)
If you are considering a mSata to pair with the mechanical internal hard drive, you should not hesitate to make this purchase.
Overall, the mSata has been a great upgrade for my ThinkPad x220. It is definitely faster than the HDD and loads Windows and applications very quickly, which is the reason why I made the purchase. I haven't had any installation (which was easy) or...
I chose the Intel 80GB version because I read that it was reliable. However, I wish I had about 40 GB more to play with. I still have 19GB available after installing Win 7 and apps, but I always would like more space if possible
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Totally worth the initial cost. Saves me so much time waiting for boot-up/loading programs like matlab.
Incredibly small physical size for the storage space ; Reasonably priced80 gb is sweet spot for me-large enough to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit and necessary programs (Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, Finale) and still have head room for future programs ;...
Cost can still be expensive for some ; Not as fast as non mSATA SSD
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Why on the green earth did we take a "standard" and then make it do something completely different? Argh.
I am sure for the small handfull of laptops that support mSATA this is a grea SSD ; Also, if you have a Z68 based intel motherboard then you could possible use this as a cache for your drives if you are willing to install and use the intel Rapid...
For everyone (the majority of people) who have just a normal mini PCIe slot, this product will not work

This drive rocks. Installed it into an Acer W500 tablet which came with a 32GB SSD. This drive allows me to dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 8 Developer Preview
Nothing so far. This drive is fast
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I put all of my "Program" files on this drive and "User" files on my conventional drive. Now, after several months of use, this drive has about 30GB free, even with a 6GB hiberfil and 8 GB pagfile
This is my boot drive for my Thinkpad T420s. Reduced boot from 45 sec to about 16 sec on Win7 Pro. Very snappy performance. If you have a Thinkpad that supports this drive, highly recommended
None so far

Installed in a Lenovo X220t. Boot time cold was 28 seconds. Now 9 seconds. I'm happy.
Incredibly small, and decent speed despite size. Installs and works without a hitch
Capacity and price. Capacity could be higher, and price could always be lower

works perfectly on my Dell Precision M4500
set to AHCI in bios
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Able to upgrade a Asus EP121 with a 32 GB SSD to 80 GB in 15 minutes or less.
Works great. Direct drop-in and easy to install
Any HD or SSD is never big enough. :)

Does what it says. Works perfectly with my Dell 6500

Consumer review (newegg.com)
To all M4500 owners: if you can't afford a 256GB 2.5" SSD. This is the ultimate solution, you get blazing fast boot up, launching apps, etc. and a large storage for files by using your stock HDD. And it's a heck cheaper than the Sammy 64GB mini card...
I was the one who wrote the "Preliminary Review" on this SSD. Now that I got it all set up, I am writing the final review. First off, the screw size I ordered was not the right size. The correct size is #1-72 @ 3/16" Length. You can easily order it...
The reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because it's not as fast as other 2.5" SSD drives that's out there that does 220MB/sec write
