Pros
FAST, Reliable, Great Value, comes with hd tray.
|
Cons
Same price as Vector now. Trolls giving OCZ a bad reputation.
|
Summary
Pros, I bought this drive when it first released. They have made several firmware updates and turned this drive into a beast. With this drive alone I beat all of my friends loading into games or loading multiple programs. In RAID the drives can run over 800mbps. Comes with the mounting tray unlike it's Samsung equivalent.
Cons, the new Vector has released and it's specs are more appealing on benchmarks. This wouldn't be a big deal but the Vertex 4 recent increased in price making it redundant to it's new bigger brother. Non the less if you can get this drive for a deal it is only 1-2% slower than the latest and greatest Samsung 840 pro but for a lot less money.
I buy them for every system that I build. I must own 6 V3 and V4 drives and NEVER had an issue with them. I cannot say enough about this drive so don't let the trolls persuade you.

Pros
Great Quality, Fast, Easy install,
|
Cons
A bit small for everyday use.
|
Summary
Windows 7 & 8 can chew up a lot of space on it for swap files, still a bit small for every day carefree use, so it windows needes to be optimized for this drive.
Would be cool it it cam with optimum auto settings that windows could see without user input.
Super fast on SATA3 and even on sata2 i saw 258+MB/s transfers.
Windows boots in seconds and Adobe CS6 in 1/3 the time or better. Two of these together as one can give over 1GB/s transfers, amazing.

Pros
Speeds up system nicely.
|
Cons
Had to update BIOS of PC to get it to be more stable with this drive and was proven since system ran 9 months with slow SATA2 drive.
|
Summary
I use it as Windows boot drive and most programs that don't require speed run on Sata3 drive as secondary .
System ran 9 months with sata 2 only drive and 1 month with Vertex 4 drive flawlessly then I was getting Blue screen crash and mufti-reboots which appeared to be a timing issue .
Updated motherboard bios and so far so good again.
These drives allow system to run so fast you may experience crashes . Proven by tweaking bios speed of system until system crashed even more .

Pros
Fast
Decent size for price
|
Cons
None
|
Summary
Obviously you could spend more for a larger SSD but I've had this one for just over 3 months now and have only used ~60GB. I have windows on it, and the programs that I use most. It's a great performer, and the super fast boot time is really great.

Pros
Fast, works great.
|
Cons
Have found no issues.
|
Summary
Bought this drive on sale in August and just installed it last weekend (have a 4 month old).
I installed windows 8 on it and the machine boots from the bios to logged in a functional to windows in 7 seconds. This desktop is a 4 year old Core 2 Quad with 6 GB ram. Files in windows are copying on the drive at 500MB/sec.
Extremely happy.

Pros
It was fast while it lasted.
|
Cons
The drive failed, without warning, destroying all my data.
|
Summary
The drive failed and took all my data with it. I thought with no moving parts a SSD would be more durable than a hard drive (infinite life in theory?). I was wrong. I have 8 hard drives running fine, but this thing failed.
It was a fast drive while it lasted, but it failed without warning, so I'm giving this drive 1 star.

Pros
Fast, responsive, opens instantly
|
Cons
none yet

Summary
Computer boots to home screen in about 13 seconds now, down from around 24-25 seconds on a WD Black HDD. Easy setup and install, no problems with the bracket or mounting. Works just as it should. Also it's great not having to wait for the drive to spin up or warm up when you need a file.
