SSDs: Why Get Anything Else?
6 Dec 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this drive to replace the 300GB Hitachi HDD in my Gateway FX laptop. I was tired of waiting f-o-r-e-v-e-r for the system to boot up and for apps and games to open. I'm thought it was largely due to Vista, but, since I had the money, I figured I would just go whole hog. I swapped out the drives and did an install of Windows 7 Ultimate. The whole install took 35 minutes. I took longer to get all the drivers straightened out, but once that was done: whoa boy! This machine really rocks thanks to the OCZ SSD. Windows 7 on my desktop system using a Velociraptor HDD isn't nearly as fast.
I originally intended to buy one of the Intel drives, but it didn't look as if they were going to come out with larger drives anytime soon, and OCZ was offering this 250GB Vertex. This goes down as the single most expensive computer component I have ever bought with the sole exception of the 30" NEC monitor on my desktop. I think it is worth every penny. ~30 seconds for start-up. Apps just open, no muss, no fuss. The Sins of a Solar Empire RTS seemed to take ages to open, load a game, and then to close down again. With this SSD it opens and gets running as fast as you can click it. No longer can I use load times as an excuse to go heat up something in the microwave or mix a drink.

Great product once you flash it's firmware
17 April 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
PLEASE NOTE: FLASH THIS DRIVE'S FIRMWARE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WITH IT!
Regarding an earlier post, I had difficulty upgrading the firmware in Vista 64, UNTIL i booted into Safe mode w/console. Then it flashed just fine. I saw significant performance improvements after upgrading the firmware. SMART was enabled and it solved a serious problem with BSODs after resuming from sleep. OCZ would be wise to start shipping these with the latest firmware! I wasted many hours trying to diagnose the sleep problem and then jumping through numerous hoops trying to upgrade the firmware - yes you will need a spare jumper to flash the drive.
All in all, this is a superior SSD with a 64MB cache and a smart controller to manage wear leveling. My laptop has new life after suffering from Chronic Windows Vista Bloat Syndrome. It's quite snappy now.

OCZ 250G SSD

Amazon Verified Purchase
OCZ 250G SSD installed it in MacBook(13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), and the speedup was satisfied.
But SSD does not work after installation in about 1 week, and it is the status that cannot return a product because I keep a record of important data.
