    I've had some initial teething problems, the usual things SSD drives are usually pretty small in size compared the usual SATA drives so determining where all the files that usually reside on the C cdrive will live takes a little thought however on the plus side they are fast, my Windows 7 with 12 resident bottom right hand icons loads in 17 seconds, on the old SATA system the same setup tool at least 2 mins.

    I swapped over a dying 350GB drive with a Corsair Force 120GB Sata 3 SSD in the laptop.

    Had a few issues with converting/partitioning the data to fit, but got it done in the end.
    The laptop boots and loads programs faster - i'd say a marked improvement and less possible damage with it being moved with the traditional drive.

    I'm happy with the extra cost and speed.

    I've 4ssd in 2 PCs. One OCZ failed after about 2 months and I replaced it with Corsair. Have 1 spare now (another OCZ send to me as replacement) to stick it somewhere. Great improvement over the standart HDD. Less heat, less power consumption and more speed

    Cheers

    Another +1 for OCZ Agility3,.. I have 2,.. TurnOn to usable is quite quick,.. shutdown is quick,.. damn it, everything is quick - except for when you need to wake up the slower SATA 2nd drive after its gone to sleep
