REVIEWS
Highly Recommended Award at Pro-Clockers.com
I stored and saved all my images that I used for Pro-Clockers on this drive and did all the editing and uploading from it as well. I am telling you this is a great upgrade from a standard disk drive.

Fast and works without issues
I use the SSD with my early 2008 MacBook Pro and am entirely satisfied. I installed Snow Leopard on it and the put the software I need most on it, and it runs like a charm - many times the internal drive just powers off as it's not needed. The system boots up from zero in 10 seconds, really impressive.

KNOWLEDGE BASE
Superb product
The product arrived very well wrapped. I took it out and after formating it ... surprise: it is INCREDIBLY FAST. I put on it all the shared data between Linux and Windows and just inflated my free space on the HDD. It is suited for fast transfers so no worries if you want to install Linux on it. The USB connection is pretty useful, too - I can transfer now files to a computer that does not have ExpressPort too. I strongly recommend this product: it is expensive, but the price pays off.
What Not to do running a “Hybrid” configuration
If you are running a “Hybrid” configuration (ExpressCard Ultra SSD and traditional hard drive in tandem), DO NOT move any of my page file/swap file/Virtual memory, Windows Temp folder, and internet browser cache to the SSD (ExpressCard Ultra SSD). While you CAN move these items to the SSD, they will not necessarily make your system run faster. In fact, in many cases they can make your system run slower. This is true for all SSDs. This is due to the number of random writes made to these system and program folders. We recommend that you leave these folders on your traditional hard drive, or disable them, as noted in the answer to: “How do I optimize my operating system for my SSD?”
How to maximize your everyday system performance by using th
In addition to using the ExpressCard Ultra SSD as general high-speed portable file storage as you would a USB thumbdrive, you can keep your original laptop or desktop hard drive, and add an ExpressCard Ultra SSD to create an efficient, high-performance “Hybrid” configuration. By putting your “Documents and Settings”, and program files on your ExpressCard Ultra SSD drive, you will increase the overall performance of your system. At the same time, you won’t have to sacrifice the existing hard drive capacity that is already inside your laptop. For more information on how to properly migrate your “Documents and Settings” folder, please read the following Microsoft article: support.microsoft.com/kb/236621 Note: If you migrate your laptop’s “Documents and Settings” onto the ExpressCard Ultra SSD, the host laptop will not be able to boot without the ExpressCard Ultra SSD installed.
Disappointed
the product is very good, but I'm disappointed that I can not use this product to install my operating system that does not support boot
I would have liked to have received information about this potential problem
ExpressCard does support boot and it is bootable
In order for the ExpressCard to boot, your system BIOS must register ExpressCard Reader as a bootable option. Today most notebook system on the market their BIOS only support up to USB boot level.
Its up to the notebook manufacture to release new BIOS update to include the ExpressCard in the boot option.
If your notebook is able to see the ExpressCard in the BIOS then you can boot from it.
It is not the ExpressCard’s fault that cannot boot it’s your system BIOS not recognize your ExpressCard Reader as Removable Disk under the Boot Option. SSD can have many form factor just keep in mind they are Disk Drive and all Disk Drives are Bootable
