(More customer reviews)Installed this drive as my Win 7 (64 bit) boot drive, replacing an older 500 GB drive that is now serving as a data drive. This is my first SSD and so far, I am liking the speedup of the boot process. The drive is only a 3 GB SATA II drive but it is quite a boost from a spindle-based drive. I wound up installing fresh onto the SSD instead of cloning/migrating my previous setup.
One note about the "K5" version of this drive is that a mounting bracket (2.5in to 3.5in) *IS* included in the Intel packaging, making the purchase of the suggested Silverstone bracket unnecessary, though the Silverstone bracket does offer a second mounting option in the same 3.5in form factor that the included Intel bracket does *NOT* offer. So just be forewarned if you aren't sure about whether you *need* to buy mounting hardware.
Win7 64bit install takes up close to 30 GB so I still have plenty of space left on the drive for program installations.
