The drive was easy to install and is super fast when booting up Windows and programs.

told me that the drive didn't support booting but it installed and booted from it any

The reason I rated this product a 4/5 is because I was expecting the boot time to speedy, however, it still takes my macbook about 40-50 seconds to boot

Great boot up speeds

Make sure ya do a clean boot format when installing windows 8.Just to share, there is an even faster version out there!

My computer boots up in like 5 secs now, using Win 8.1

No issues with the drive in a late 2012 Mac Mini as its main boot drive.

From memory previously i was taking 50-60 seconds for a cold boot and that dropped to about 12 seconds.

Love the fast boot times with both my computer start-up and games that I have stored on it

Works great, my 2010 Macbook Pro boots up in 15 seconds with this thing and runs flawlessly.

Super-fast boot up.

From a speed stand point I guess because older machine, it's definitely a faster boot up but still takes about 30 secs

WAY faster computer because of this SSD from a standard HD (cold booting up time is 15 seconds and big programs like iPhoto and iMovie load in about five "bounces")

I have been hearing about how fast boot times are with a SSD

Much faster boot ups, low power use, love it all the way around.

This is blazing fast boots on windows machine.

Performance is amazing with zero lag and amazing fast boot times.

Now she says it's SO much faster booting up and loading apps that it's like a new computer and now doesn't need a new one.

My 3 year old HP 4720s cold boots Windows 7 Pro 64 bit in 27 seconds flat - every single time.

its just for the wife and her college classes, needed something with a super fast boot and load time incase there was a super late home work assignment or other project emergency

Win8.1 cold boot up time on desktop PC is now less than 9 seconds.

is the future no defraging necessary, faster boot and slightly faster read/write than spinnersthe newer ssd drives match the write up to the read at about 500MBps for both notice this drive sequential write is half the read speed***. :( hense, the loss of one star

I immediately noticed a faster boot up time, software loading faster, and everything was just a bit snappier than when I had a traditional HDD.

Works great in my Mac ... faster boot

Works great in my Mac ... faster boot

love the speed, Ubuntu cold boots in under 5 seconds

Aside from the fast boot up and shut down, my programs load faster which is a lot more helpful than I thought it would be.

I will say if you are going to purchase this device, I cannot recommend it as a primary boot

Put this in a laptop, used a partition copying package to duplicate the drives and now the laptop top boots fast and operate smoother, adding another couple of years to a computer I have been using for 7 year already.

After installing M500 SSD I booted desktop back up - no problems

I love how fast my computer boots up and starts games, etc.

Its probably overkill, would probably play games at a decent rate but its all for fast boot and load times

I purchased this for my wife's 2011 Macbook Pro due to the original one beginning to fail and show disk0s2: I/O errors
