Really good SSD. I put one in my girlfriend's laptop last weekend.

One of the lowest power consuming SSDs while being above-average speed-wise. As far as I know, they're pretty reliable, too. Everything but the controller is made in-house.

Better than the Samsung 840?

They run neck and neck in most benchmarks that I've seen. Samsung has a little less latency but we're not talking anything noticeable in day-to-day operation.

I can tonight when I'm home. Feel free to remind me via pm if I forget, which is very possible.



Edit: Ah, nevermind. I forgot the system that it's in is SATA II.

For reference anyway:

LegitReviews has the SATA III numbers here.
