Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For all users buying the ssd mlc series drives with the samsung controller buyer beware of the firmware issues previous to and with one of the lastest firmware VBM18C1Q. I have 2 of the drives in raid 0 and intially there were very fast running xp pro sp3. I have only used this drive for testing, my conclusions are it is very strong in read write stats 145mb/sec, strong in read but the write stats are intailly extremely fast and performance degrades to average for a ssd drive, from 200mb/sec to 90mb/sec. The new firmware version(s) VBM18C1Q and up are supposed to repair the drives performance at idle, maybe? Samsung may release newer firmware updates, maybe?

The real question is are you buying this for performance or economy? Will Samsung release the firmware updates? For economy, size, power consumption, heat or noise I say yeah! But for High Performance over time? The jury is still out, degrading write speeds and the firmware issues, and a 1 year warranty is the monster in the closet. Do your research before you buy and how it will be used.
