This solid state drive is much faster than a regular hard drive. Boot time on my windows 7 desktop improved from 2 minutes+ to 30 seconds. When surfing between tabs or open windows, there is next to zero lag loading images and pages. Installing programs and updates, virus scanning, restarting, etc. takes much less time than before. Major improvement! That being said, the drive does not max out on SATA3 like some of the newer drives. Running in AHCI mode rather than IDE/MBR mode definitely speeds up boot and program loading times on my machine. Max on SATA3 is around 600, these samsungs seem to top out around 450 or so. FWIW, I don't care. The samsung seems 10 times faster than the WD scorpion blue it replaced.

Well I went cheap and bought a used 128gb SSD. It was 15 dollars when a new one is 20. It arrived at 52 percent of it's life used already. That's an insane amount of use for any SSD. I just wish the description would have said it was a heavily used drive instead of saying tested and working. Its speed is also not what I would expect out of most SSDs. Especially being a Samsung SSD. Overall it is worth 15 dollars considering it's name brand I guess.
