This worked right out of the box with windows. I wanted to run 2 in a RAID 0, but Windows refused to see my raid controller and then it refused to work with it. Linux saw it automagically. There was no need to run benchmarks with Linux because everything happened instantly. Programs open before I'm really done clicking on them.
I haven't seen super high transfer rates - nothing more than about 200MB/s - but levels in Modern Warfare 3 load in under 10 seconds (easily) with full detail and programs like InDesign open very quickly.
Here's my experience as a gamer and a designer.
Core i5 OC'd to 3.2GHz (water cooling)
16GB RAM
2x of these
1x 750GB WD SATA HDD
Measly Nvidia 9600GT
GAMES like DXHR, MW3, and ACR don't perform much differently than they did before as far as frames. DXHR loads parts of levels as you progress, and this was so transparent, the only way I knew it was happening is because it stuttered for a few seconds back in the HDD days. Initial loads for games are down under 10 seconds (both opening and loading levels) across the board, so I'm not getting much more performance per se, just reducing and eliminating load times.
SOFTWARE like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator use my RAM drive as a swap area but also load much quicker. Windows loads in under 10 seconds (and is tweaked to do so) as well. Photoshop and After Effects support multithreading, so I'm seeing decent speedups across the board (eg previews in AE or the filter gallery in PS). AI and ID max out the CPU usage on pretty much every operation since there's no multithreading or hard drive to wait for. I was running PS, AI, and ID and switching to and from willie-nillie for a large project and using the Creative Suite as a suite is finally painless and quick. It's gotten to the point that I really despise using these programs at work because our Core i7 with 6GB's of RAM just doesn't have that SSD speed. My Adobe on the PC works faster than your Adobe on the Mac if you don't have an SSD, and that's saying something.

I bought the SSD because my old hard disk didn't work properly and it consumed all the batery. The notebook's operating system was very slow but with my new SSD is all the opposite.
It is faster and with a higt performance. What's more, I have SATA II (not reach the maximum efficiency) but I'll pass to SATA III and it will be perfect!!!
The only disadvantage is the capacity, I would like more!
The SSD is faster, more efficient, more resistent than the tipicals hard disks.

This SSD is way more reliable than a HDD I would recommend buying one for anyones notebooks or desktops that have more than 2 ssd/hdd slots. SSD mainly for your pc's main back up and less chance for failure as it has no moving parts inside. HDD has more chance to fail and lock up and lose info! so would recommend SSD overall!

This is my first SSD.
I've been using the drive for a week now, with excellent results. As soon as I received it, I updated the firmware, and installed different OS, with no problems whatsoever.
The windows experience rates it 7.6 out of 7.9.
So far, so good, I hope it stays that way!

Gave Windows 7 64 Bit a big kick in the pants 10/10
Also better priced than the competition
I think the performance increase from this solid state drive would be more than a motherboard and cpu upgrade at 1/4 of the cost
