SAMSUNG MCBOE32G8APR-0XA00 1.8" 32GB PATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

I purchased this product to replace my Sony Vaio X505's 1.8" HDD. The factory unit has a 20GB drive. I have two notebooks so I was able to do a side by side - clean install using the different drives. The difference is amazing. The read went from 15.5...

Price. You pay more per MB then you would otherwise. Also, I had to remove the drive from the outer casing for it to fit in the notebook, but that wasn't a big deal

Very fast. My laptop now boots in less than half the time it did before ; Low heat output. I used to have to have a fan to cool the laptio, but with the new SSD drive I no longer need the additional cooling ; Longer battery. Without having moving...

Didn't fit snugly since my old drive was a 2.5", but not a big deal. I just cut some cork and now it stays in place

Good for laptops and low power environments. Very responsive (low latency) disk access, as you'd expect form a SSD

The price for starters. *Major* early adopter premium here ; Not sure where the hell people are getting "as fast as a 7200 RPM drive" or a "WD Raptor" from. No matter what cabling I tried I couldn't get any higher than udma2 in Linux, which seems...

I recently changed my 60gb 4200rpm 1,82 hdd in my fujitsu q2010 for this drive. It was a perfect fit ; 47mb sustained read, 30mb sustained write speed. acces time average 0.3ms ; amazing boot, resume from standby, hibernate ; Office apps are lightning...

I bought an open box item for 313dollars, which is in my eyes appropriate. So yeah, the price is a con

Fast boot, running cool and completely silent

Under XP and Vista works at the Ultra DMA Mode 2

Consistent fast read times. I boot WinXP-64 in about 10-15 seconds

Slower write times (like all SSD) ; ATA-66 ; Small capacity ; Expensive

Replaced the 40G HD in my Sony Vaio PCG-TR3 subnotebook. Fit perfectly and the machine runs like its on steroids. Significant performance boost

Not cheap but I'll get a couple more years out of the laptop

Installed the SSD in my Fuji P1610 and it works great. The fit was perfect, and was really easy to install. Boot times are 3x faster now, and it runs cool and quiet. I recommended this upgrade for users replacing a 1.8" drive in a sub-notebook

This drive has added new life to my old handtop

My computer wouldn't recognize the drive until I had reformatted it and it was a little thicker than the 1.8" drive I was replacing

None

Had drive working on test bench for about 20 days. Now the drive will not boot nor will the bios even recognize the drive
