Great even with defragmentation issues
UPDATE: Intel has provided a firmware flash tool. This resolves the fragmentation issue. Write speeds report 80/MBs versus the 70 as well.

Great Drive!
This HDD is awsome. IE, Chrome, VS2008 and SQL Server08 open instantly. Boot & Shut Down times are amazing.

This is the best SSD besides the x25-e
For those Mac owners worried about the bootcamp issue, worry no more. Intel fixed that.

One of the best but high priced
This is a very nice SSD, even if it is a bit slow on the sequential write speeds. Intel is a good company and they seem to thoroughly test their products.

Excellent drive
Had this drive for 2 months now on my Mac Pro, works great. Very snappy. Boot time is about 12 seconds. I was afraid that 80 GB would not be enough, but it’s actually quite OK.
