This is, by no means, one of the slowest SSDs. It is substantially vaster than the Kingston V+ 100 drives (unless I'm confusing that with the V100). It is slow for a SATA III SSD, especially when...

A current slow SATA III SSD is still faster than any 10,000 RPM HDD in typical user scenarios. The real problem with the SSD's are the blue screens/reliability and cost per GB.
I have some...

I'd avoid this drive. I recently purchased the 128G Petrol and it started having issues within a week. I saw all of the bad reviews after I purchased mine and was hoping that maybe the one I got...

SSDs are dropping in price. 1 $/GB was the threshold for the low end drives. Seems like 0.80 $/GB is a the new low.
Anyways, great price for the drive. Lots of room + noticeably better performance...

I think I'd go with the $209 Agility 3 w/ Mass Effect 3, but I still "Thumb-up" this.

Above people said that it is one of the slowest SSD. I just want to know what is the index score. It does not mean anything in real life experience but I am just curious. I currently have 500gb...

The 240GB Agility 3 is much better (and also cheaper if you sell off ME3).

The Pyro SE uses synchronous memory and the Pyro used asynch. The Pyro SE was supposed to be a better drive, technically. The difference was small in the tests I just looked up. You probably...

Looks Flash price is dropping. Good deal. Comes out to be 209 after tax/rebate for me. If you don't really care much about performance, then is it. I don't know how much it would matter anyways
