It's good enough.

Take a look at the following graphs:



It may have slower raw write speeds, but for the "average" workload, it has more than good enough performance.

The only downside is that the Intel G3 is coming out in the next few months. It is hoped that their cost/GB is even lower and they will have somewhat better performance than the G2. Read/write: G2's 250/100 vs G3's 250/170. They'll lose to current generation performance SSDs which can hit past 500MB/s, but if Intel can drive their prices down, their G3s can still be made into bargain buys for 80% of the market.

If you're fine with the fact that the warranty is short then yes,it's worth it.The write speeds may be slow but the read speeds are not to shabby even when compared to 2011 SSDs.The capacity is also large

Reliability is a strong suit of Intel SSDs,I wouldn't worry too much about it.About the write speeds,these SSDs can only do around 100MB/s of sequential and random writes,definitely not blistering fast.

Mushkin, heard they're quite good. or save some money and play the wait game again, intel and micron release 20nm already, expect more SSD release.

If your laptop doesn't support USB3.0, larger storage capacity should be a priority, as you won't normally add a second internal storage device to a laptop. Chances are that you will regret much less.

I've been using one for almost a month already,no problems so far.Definitely worth the price.

Yeah,the X-18M G2 160GB.The difference is like night and day.The PC only takes less than 40s from when I press the power button to a usable desktop.FF4 only takes 2s compared to around 6s for a standard desktop 7200RPM HDD.MS Word 2010 takes 2s from the usual 8s.I can go on and on but you ge the idea,right?It's fast.My usage model favour reads over writes so I'm not affected by the slowness of the G2's write speeds.

10s from the moment you press the power button to a usable desktop is impossible.
The PC that i'm using,it needs around 10-15s to POST,then 25s to BOOT.
Write is when you install something or copy something over to the SSD.Windows installation time certainly improved,but not by much.IINM it went from 35m to 25m or so.

Definitely a worthy upgrade.

Right now in a laptop,the Dell Studio 1555 to be exact.

The F90 has better writes if the data is compressible,so it is faster.However the Intel is 160GB,the F90 is 90GB,that's a lot of difference especially for a laptop.

I don't see why it won't fit since 2.5" HDDs fit.

Curious which model is that Sager lappie?

ahh, i've google that sounds like compatibility issues between Corsair SSD and Sager/Clevo
For safe side, grab an Intel SSD. 

I'd say C300 128GB is the best SSD in the market atm.
4K Random Read is the most important thing for 97% of users, primarily at QD1.
The C300 is still the fastest at 4K reads from QD 1 to 4 and it stands its ground with 4K writes as well, even beats out the newer M4.

If u could find it at cheap price, it is a good buy dude

Up to u. I don't see topping up RM130 is a huge difference when it is a good investment.
No idea on Mushkin but no harm to give it a try and share with us
unfortunately I've closed my successful OEM SSD sales with a total of nearly 200pcs sold 
101pcs of X25, 94pcs of X18 160GB
