"The most important element for SSD or any storage is stability. When you have all information in the storage, talking about how fast the OS load is not that important, if it fails to work. I looked into other faster drive mostly for its so-called "fastest drive" hype. Hoewever, I found countless people complainning about how drive is not recognized or failed to boot up althought it's really fast for a while. This SSD is not as fast, but the difference is only about 2 seconds in loading time for window 7. Would I sacrifice 2 seconds for stability? Yes! This drive has been rock solid, and fast. Very happy with purchase."
Pros: speed, stability
Cons: firmware update delete all data.

"My first SSD, I choose this drive due to samsung making so many parts for this and assembling them, plus 3 year warranty, runs as advertised. My Notebook runs cooler now and does tasks much faster with less effort."
"This Korean made SSD has fast writes and reads. Due controllers different than most, it's better. The case has no plastic on it. (All metal) It comes in a plastic box instead of cardboard. Come with a manual and a card about “Samsung SSD Magician”. 32nm Nand Flash best for the time and better than most of the SSD on the market. It also has a sleek design. Samsung also make their own controllers. They are one of the 3 or 4 makers of SSD controllers like Intel and Sandforce. Samsung SSD’s are more reliable than the ones made by the other manufactures. That one of the reasons you don’t see that many of them (heavy testing). You can update your firmware with the “Samsung SSD Magician”. They don’t have any new firmware at this time."
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, high quality
"The Samsung SSD 64GB races past the old HDD by far. Boot time on the OS is less than 15 seconds. I highly recommend this SSD other any other."
Pros: cool design

"I have experienced performance issue and found out that it has firmware update available. In order to update the firmware, it requires USB bootable disk. I did what is required and enter to setup screen. Error while confirm to update. Did this at least 20 times, no exception. My system is HP DV6t, and the screen does not show the menu properly. Samsung shall provide Windows based software to perform such upgrade."
