This 128GB version comes with my Thinkpad L520 as a system hard drive for use. The disk was encrypted with TrueCrypt, so that a pre-boot authentication is necessary. Installation proved to be problem-free. To use the disk as a system disk, I had to update the BIOS. Otherwise, the system 100MB relevant partition of Windows 7 were prepared on the HD and not in the SSD. The data rate breaks benchmarked with TrueCrypt encryption clearly a - although I left unpartitioned about 10%. For everyday use, the speed is but perfectly adequate. In spite of many programs Windows is operational in a very short time and that's what my goal was. I would recommend this drive with a clear conscience.
