The first thing that was disappointing about this purchase was that the manufacturer mail-in-rebate wasn't honored. That wasn't very much money, but it influenced my decision to buy this product instead of one from another manufacturer. In the end I thought if this was the worst thing about this purchase then I would be happy. However, it wasn't the end.Pros: Worked fast while it lasted. Windows definitely booted faster than my previous IDE and SATA hard-drives.Cons: Died within 60 days with little warning. I'd consider myself an advanced computer user (not in the IT field but used to be) and all my troubleshooting came up with nothing. I can't even format the drive since it doesn't show up using the windows recovery tool. Putting it in another computer after windows has booted did not discover the drive. The same is true if connected before boot either by itself or with another windows boot drive. It seems to show up in the BIOS settings as part of the boot order but you can't do anything to the drive from there so there's not much I can do, all it shows is the name/model and that it's attached to SATA0 on the motherboard.Last Word: I'm trying to get the drive replaced by OCZ but for now I'm without a solid state drive and wasted hours troubleshooting. I'll continue to waste many more hours no doubt. I'll update when I receive word from them.

I have had the same problem as others mentioned. I was getting blue screens for no reasons then one day when the system rebooted, the BIOS could not find the SSD. I went in to the BIOS and pointed it to boot to the SSD but on reboot all I got was a black sceen with no Windows logo. After 5 minutes it went back into the BIOS. Now the SSD was gone from the BIOS. I rebooted, the SSD came back in the BIOS but again on reboot, just a black screen. I took the SSD and tried it in 2 laptops and had the same behavior, just a black screen. I put it back in my desktop, booted up with the Windows 7 installation disk, and it didn't see the drive at all.I sent it back because it was in the return period and got a replacement. I was still getting BSODs so I read something online saying to RE-ENABLE the Hibernation file, even though I tell the PC to never sleep or hibernate. For the last 2 weeks, not BSODS. However, sometimes when I reboot, the BIOS no longer sees the SSD and I need to restart again, but this time, it always boots back in to Windows 7. So, I am not sure if there as issue with the motherboard also but I am sure the original issues were because of a bad drive considering it wouldn't work in 2 other machines.

As an FYI, I already have some positive experience with this brand, rocking a Vertex 3 on my main rig at home. Now for the review...I was issued a new laptop for work and got stiffed with a spinning hard drive - not enough performance to satiate the efficiency needs of my daily spreadsheet habit. "More power," I cried, as the laptop failed to instantly respond to my every request. Control+T for a new tab, slickdeals.net, search for "SSD", and up comes this thing. Reviews are everywhere and some of the poor reviews look like they were written by people who have never worked on a computer. I decide to pull the trigger anyway - $55 after rebate and the high-speed storage void of my soul is filled.The SSD arrives two days later (Prime, baby!) in a smallish package with a single air puff - looks good to me. Out come the scissors, two sides are cut, and the tingling sensations start. Over to my main rig - Start > Shutdown. I plug in this beast along with the spinny thing from my work laptop, boot up Acronis, and ghost over the original HDD in about 5-10 minutes. My heartrate is increasing...Back to the laptop with the SSD - not exactly the right fit for the caddy on my Latitude E6420. I omit the screw that attaches the caddy to the drive, slide it in, and drive in the 4 screws that hold it in place. Flip it over, open it up, and push the power button with mixed emotions of hope, dread, and eternal glory... The boot screen shows, clears, and then.......WINDOWS LOGO! Boom! 10 seconds later I'm at the password prompt and trying to be nonchalant as I wipe away a tear and a bit of drool from the corner of my mouth.24 hours later...Still going strong! I've also gone through the requisite tweaks to make sure AHCI is enabled, indexing is disabled in Windows, etc, etc, etc.Let's just say, I haven't almost accidentally dropped any fists on this since upgrading. The HDD to SSD upgrade is always huge and dramatic. If you're still storing data on spinning platters, don't be afraid to dip your toes in the sweet, sweet waters of SSD.As for those who already have an SSD? I guess if you have your heart set on upgrading, you may be disappointed, if only because you won't notice a drastic increase.I am going a full 5 stars on this barring any major catastrophe. And, admittedly, I am also backing up data daily for the first few months in case this takes a dump.***Update 4/21/2013:Just a follow up - now at 7 months and still going strong.One person asked about desktop/laptop disk duplication: I actually took the original HDD out of my laptop, along with the new SSD, and plugged both into my desktop computer to do the disk duplication. The SATA connector interface is universal (although older computers will not push the newer SSDs to their maximum throughput.)
