Great drive. Makes Windows 8 bootup time less than 30 seconds. 5 year warranty is as good as it gets for ssd's. The retail box version also comes with a mounting adapter for 3.5" drive bays.

I have my O/S save on here and a few games, and now boot up is crazy fast. My game would usually take about 30 sec to start up but on my SSD, it takes about 10 sec!
I purchased both the 240GB and 120GB versions on the Boxing Day sale mainly because they were priced so low. I have always heard how fast these SSD's were so I thought I would put one in each of my PCs. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the overall speed boost that I experienced. I also love the fact that they give you every accessory you need inside the box. I decided to go with Intel because they are supposed to one, if the most reliable SSD's on the market. If anything goes wrong, at least I have a 5 year warranty to back it up. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone. Worth every penny!

It can sustain a more steady fast transfer speed than my Mushkin. Big difference compare from HDDs. You will never turn back to HDDs for the OS drive.

Received the SSD. Hooked it up to a free SATA port. Removed all other drives and USB devices. Configured the Bios for RAID mode on teh SATA ports. (could have used AHCI but I have two other drives in RAID and only one setting for all six ports). Re-installed Windows 7. Configured the settings with Intel SSD toolbox. Updates to Win 7 took over an hour to install 146 updates.

I buy this one during a good special, around 1$ / Go and it worth it. I install windows 7 in less than half an hour, system boot up really fast. I recommend this SSD and use it as default boot drive.
