The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Sold Out lol that was quick.

    NewEgg's Canadian site had the same SSD, at $105 with no free case or mail in rebate and it still sold out before 6:30am EST, when majority of the country was still in bed :p

    i have heard good things about this drive.
    it's basicly an intel x25-m 80gb ssd chopped in half. read speed is on par with it's big brother, but write speed is very bad at about 40MB/s, access time is still good for an ssd.
    it's not cheap dollar/space, but since it's 40gb it's still cheap. excellent choice for a boot drive, 40gb is enough for the os and a few often used apps.
