Intel SSDSA2CW160G3 320

It appears in a antistatic sealed envelop to be the Intel 160 GB SSD.

Previously when you have sold me Intel SSD drives they have come in the Intel box - sometimes with SATA cords and and 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapter plates. I will not use the drive for an undetermined time - assume since it is sealed in what appears to be a...

Fast.

Bought this on 5/1/11. Ran real nice as primary drive for OS Windows 7...then after a month, it died. Ok, maybe I got the bad batch? Shouldn't be an excuse anyways as this is very expensive. Contacted Intel regarding; about a week of PC downtime, I...

Works flawlessly in a small Linux/Ubuntu as the boot/root drive. Executes a manual full disk TRIM (Linux fstrim / on a XFS file system with in <12 seconds, vs minutes for my smaller (90 GB) OCZ PCIe card. Totally silent (of course)

The usual for SSDs: the high price/GB. Intel SSDs command a premium price, but I think it's warranted; see below. Mac OSX Snow Leopard doesn't support or use the Intel SSD TRIM command. Apparently only SSDs from Apple are. It's Apple's fault, not...

Fast. I've had this thing since May and I haven't had problems. My two year old laptop didn't even have AHCI under BIOS, so that wasn't a problem installing 7 pro 64 bit on. Price is lower than ever!

Battery life is killed if put to sleep. But I only need 30 seconds to turn this bad boy on, so powering down is a good idea. Frustrating using other people's computers now and wondering how they put up with a mechanical spindle anymore. Only 40 GB of...

was quick while operating

Unreliable. 2 of 4 drives have failed so far. We've stopped using the drives since we can't be assured of their reliability.

It was a insanely fast drive.

It doesn't work anymore.

Price, POST and boot is quicker than my iPad, all programs across the board are much quicker.

A crucial firmware update for this drive does not work for my version of the MacBook Pro... yet.

Incredibly fast boot times and program starts on my MacBook Pro. From a cold start, to full access in 17 seconds. Just as fast as my wife's MacBook Air, but with more storage space. Easy to install. I put in the drive, did a fresh install of Snow...

None so far.

Cut 30 seconds from boot time. Application startup very fast.

This drive is fast, really fast (7.7 WEI on Win 7 64-bit). Easy to install, Intel SSD Toolbox is a handy piece of software. Hopefully Intel's reputation for reliability holds true for this product.

There are faster SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs on the market for comparable prices. As an X58 chipset user who would have to rely on the questionable Marvell 91XX SATA 6 Gb/s controller I chose to use the Intel ICH10R SATA 3 Gb/s controller.
