From a complete novice's POV - my FIRST SSD was a 120gb INTEL - that was over 2 years ago and it's still great IMO. I bought it for the dependability. Since then, I have installed 3 more (Kingston,...

for me - the Intel takes about 35+ seconds to boot, whereas one of my laptops takes 17 seconds. That's from cold start up to being able to browse the internet. I don't really see a lot of slowness...

the technology is outdated if you were to use it with a MB with SATA 3, you would be better off with a SSD with newer SATA3 technology.

Too bad this has a $30 rebate attached to it. I'd probably snag one for one of my older laptops that is SATA II, but not looking to put up $120 initially.

if your computer only has SATA 2 then this is a decent deal for you
but if your computer has SATA 3 then it is throwing good money at old technology.
