    If you are going to buy a solid state drive, you need to get a decent one. This one is pretty slow as far as drives go. My mechanical drives could probably outrun this drive, for about 1/3rd the price (and 10x the space).

    I'm just shopping right now! I just like to see the differences in these drives I've read some reviews from newegg and reading what others are saying on other forums

    Thanks ! for the heads up ;)

    Haven't kept up too much recently with SSD pricing, but I think the Intel is going for around 230 or so and its a pretty fast drive. Its only80gb but Id get that over this kingston Vseries.

    I almost bought this from a seller on Craig's List and if you are getting a drive for the non moving parts then this one is not bad, I read reviews and the price is what shines on this drive, the speed is not the best but over all a decent buy
