 Re: Need a quick opinion
I didn't know Samsung made SSD drives. If you read through the reviews the positve ones are all super positive and the bad ones are your typical I got a dead drive and now I'm pissed. For $99 I think it's a good deal.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
If you are just going to use windows and maybe two or three games, you'll be golden and it looks solid. If you like to have a few more games installed and got some heavy programs you use for god knows what, you may want to hold off and get a larger drive.
Samsung makes decent storage devices, the standard HDD I run my data from is a Samsung OEM.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
Samsung is actually doing really good with all their drives. I just bought an OCZ for $60 and I've seen mixed reviews about it but I haven't had an issue and it's been on continuously since the beginning of July.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
We bought Samsung's HDD division back in Nov. I lol'd when I saw the pic. It's a really cool casing. BUY It.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
Might be wrong but that drive doesn't come with the mounting kit and the one with the mounting kit for a desktop is more. Not sure if your buying it for desktop laptop or what but they sell the drives as kits for what you need Desktop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147134Laptop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147137Nokit which is what you got has no kit which you will need to mount in your computer unless you already have a mounting kit and your just replacing an already existing SSD.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
mine is just laying inside the case, they are so light weight that you can just stick them anywhere.

 Re: Need a quick opinion
You can buy a mounting kit wicked cheap. When I bought my Corsair SDD a while back, it came with a mounting kit and I didn't need it because the case I was using had one built in. So on my old Dell that I'm fixing up right now, I bought a Seagate Momentus which uses the laptop form factor similar to other SSD's, except it's a hybrid drive...well anyway good thing I had the kit because it was a bare drive that didn't even come with a box or screws.
