I bought 2 of these drives. They are very fast and I have not had any issues with them. Boot times are fast on my computers and file transfers are great. It is a Kingston HyperX........kinda says it all.

Pros:Very Fast, decent capacity
Comment:
This drive is extremely fast. Using it as a OS boot drive. Windows 7 loads to usable in about 30 seconds. File transfers to other Sata 3 drives are quick, copying to itself is extremely quick (about 150M/sec).Extremely happy with this drive.

Kingston HyperX 240GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Drive With Mounting Kit
Cons:The screwdriver come with look little cheap ...

Pros:Very fast (SATA3), very weel packed by Kingston.
Comment:
After testing and verification of various criticisms of the product, and very positive experience with Kingston, I opted for the HyperX SSD.I already have a 240GB HyperX, I bought a second 240GB to create  a RAID 0, and I'm not disappointed! Connected to a GIGABYTE P67A-UD7-B3 equipped with two ports SATA3 controlled by an Intel chipset, this rock the house!

Cons:You must download the firmware update  from Kingston's website and then run the wizard. Simple as pie. This isn't really a con, its a good thing.

Pros:There is nothing bad to say about this SSD. It's lightning fast. I used several benchmark testing suites such as CPU-Z, Bench32, CrystalDisk, etc. which indicated the performance in real use actually exceeded Kingston's claims. Most impressive.
Comment:
Its a plug&play SSD. It comes with a mount, screws, and a nice magnetic screw driver. You should probably plug in the SATA cable into a SATA III port to max out performance. They have two products, one is a kit and the other is not a kit, so read the specs first. They say SSD last a very long time, its a great investment. One more thing, the larger the size, the faster the performance. This means that a 240GB is faster than a 120GB, which is faster than a 60GB. In my opinion 60, and even a 120 are too small for use as a primary boot drive. But, you could take a couple of them and put them into a RAID0 which would increase speed yet again. Imagine, 2 240GB HyperX SSD's in RAID0 = over 1 GB per second. Smokin'.

Kingston HyperX 240GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Drive With Mounting Kit
Cons:Price. But I got it when it's on sale anyway.

Pros:One of the fastest SSDs available, more stable than the Corsair Force Series GT, Good looking SSDs
Comment:
It's HyperX, what more to say? Got one of these when it's on sale. Mind blowing boot up speed. Even faster than my previously purchased 510 series. totally worth it.
