Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm not going to get too deep into the numbers (you can find those online for the various iterations of the Sandforce based controllers), but let it be known that for the price, this little drive delivers a phenomenal performance boost for any laptop.
I use my laptop as a development machine and with the Callisto, it absolutely screams along. The laptop boots up to a usable browser in about 25 seconds. Visual Studio 2010 loads in under 4 seconds, even with various add-ins installed. Applications like Office 2010 and Firefox load instantly.
I store and run my virtual machines off a secondary, disk based HDD (Western Digital Scorpio Black) as the size of the SSD isn't conducive for the storage of large virtual machines. Performance is still great given that the majority of the reads/writes for the VM is done on loading/unloading of the VM (hint: not worth it to store you VMs on the SSD unless you have the $$$ to spring for the 240GB SSD).
In summary: get one and you'll never go back to disk based HDDs!
