Yes, we know that these are not the fastest SSDs around, due to use of Async NAND, but they are cheap, perform like an SSD, and have a decent warranty.

I've puta 120GB version of one of these in my wifes bargain bin laptop. Its a whole new machine. Its not the "best" but its leaps and bounds better than a spinning disc.
