For testing, the drive was wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free programs and some real world testing so you can compare our findings against your own system.
This is a good way to measure potential upgrade benefits.

Trim is confirmed as running by typing fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify into the command line. A response of disabledeletenotify =0 confirms TRIM is active.
I bought one of these last week, as I always buy Intel. quality is the best.
I think its great. i would be surprised if anyone could tell the difference in the real world between sata 2 and sata 3 SSD drives.
Honest review. I think they sold a lot of these, good size. But I agree. its not competitive now on a performance level so the price needs to drop to around £330.
Can kitguru make a review about reliability problem (like BSOD) affecting latest generation of SSD (SandFroce 2000, Crucial m4, Intel 320 Series) and various fixes they have done until now?
