If you're looking at the 40GB 320 Series SSD, it's likely you are looking for a barebones reliable SSD as your OS drive. That's what I purchased this drive for. The 320 Series SSD is the third generation of Intel solid state disks; it purports to have better performance than previous generations, while also having data protection, security, and improved caching functions.For comparison purposes, I also own an Intel 80GB X25M and 40GB X25V, which I had previously reviewed:Intel X25V 40 GB Solid State Drive with Internal SATA and Power Cables SSDSA2MP040G2K5The 40GB Intel 320 Series SSD is NOT faster than the second generation 80GB X25M, but is roughly the same speed (and slightly faster) than the second generation 40GB X25V. I have never had any caching errors with my X25V, so I can't speak on how far improved the 320 Series is as far as reliability. In my experience, all of my Intel SSDs are extremely reliable.The 40GB 320 Series and X25V at the time of this review are priced the same, so this more modern drive has a better value. I do think the X25V prices should be coming down in lieu of it being an "outdated" drive, but its final pricing depends on the excess supply sitting on shelves.

Even though I did my research before buying, I still managed to be disappointed with this SSD. I knew that the 40MB disc had slower write speeds (due to having five fewer pipelines than any larger intel model), my feeling was that given it was intel, it would be ok. When I installed this SSD, my windows experience rated it at 7.5 (I was thrilled!).Now, having used it for about a month, I re-ran the assessment, twice, and the same SSD rates at only 6.9 on the WEI. The drive gets substantially slower after you start using up available space. I still have around 12GB free, along with the other 10GB that intel keeps for spare space, so it would seem to have enough headroom...I have a 1.5TB external drive that I keep everything else on. All that's on the SSD is windows (around 17GB), drivers, nVidia utilities, norton, blu-ray software, the basics (total used space around 25GB). All games, videos and other software goes on the external. Just be aware that any larger drive intel makes will have much faster write speeds. This is a great boot drive, but its still too slow for an SSD, especially from intel. OCZ and others had faster smaller SSDs, but I went for reliability. I'm hoping that it will last, at least. The write speeds is still around 45MB/s, as advertised. Don't know why WEI cut it's rating by six-tenths of a per cent, but its bottlenecking somewhere and win7 says its the SSD. It definitely doesn't access the data nearly as quickly when more than half full.

If your primary reason for getting one of these is power savings & reliability, look no further. This is the drive you're after.But if you're looking for that legendary SSD performance, you're going to need to save up a little more money and perhaps get the much larger 160GB model. The performance specs on this drive, especially for writes, are rather anemic. Sure, it's faster than a hard drive, but your jaw isn't going to drop.I tried this in a few machines. I tried it in a Mac Mini (2010 updated model), in a System76 Pangolin Performance running Ubuntu Linux and then later OpenIndiana build 148, and in all cases it was pretty nice to use on read-heavy operations but not all that impressive when there was much writing going on.I ultimately decided to not use this as the boot disk for any of my systems. It's now in a Firewire-800 enclosure and acting as the cache for my L2ARC in my ZFS pool. Using it in that role has indeed done wonderful things for my Mac (running Ten's Complement Z410 beta ZFS implementation).
