The performance is awesome. I'm not a bean counter and will definitely undergo any stress test to see if the last MB / s are adhered to my plate. The SSD is with me as an operating system running like hell. Windows 7 starts up immediately (the BIOS boot menu takes longer soon) and more importantly, the operating system is ready to use after logging in without annoying waiting for the last load drivers or system tray programs. This requires of course that you install these low-level programs on a partition of the SSD.
Finally remains only the hope for the long-term stability. I have long hesitated, as always is of fairly short-lived SSD talk. Therefore remains to be seen whether this holds as long as my part more than 10 years old HDDs. Until then, you force yourself, often times a system image from the plate to create better safe than sorry;)
