Cons: Drive failed in less than 2 months of use (in a HTPC). Was able to RMA and received a new one. RMA process, which was via email, was slow and frustrating.

Pros: Low power, when it works. Zero power now.
Cons: Horrible reliability. The first one died within 4 months and was RMA'd. The replacement just died, a mere 3.5 months after receiving it. I should have paid more attention to the reviews before purchasing this SSD.
Other Thoughts: I would have given it ZERO eggs if I had the option. I hesitate to even install the 2nd RMA'd device, for fear that it will not last through the end of the year.

Cons: Died after 18 months. It seems this is common for this drive. Really a shame since I was sick of paying high Intel SSD prices, but I guess you get what you pay for.

MikeD 8/23/2012 8:51:04 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner Rating: 1/5This drive is garbage!!!
Pros: While it worked - it worked. Then it died - several times.
Cons: This is only the 2nd review I've done at newegg - in over 5 years. I replaced this drive through RMA - 3 times with OCZ. They simply sent me a new - unopened - matching drive each time. The first time I lost all data - several months worth of pictures/emails. The 2nd/3rd time (not a fool) - kept consistent backup. This drive is an embarrasment for OCZ and Newegg.

Domi 8/13/2012 8:43:20 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Rating: 1/5Not reliable.
Pros: It's an SSD, they're fast. Thought this one is from an older generation, not as fast as the new ones.
Cons: I bought one last year and it broke out of the blue, leaving my data behind >_
