I'm a Gamer so I bought this SSD to use solely for my Games. And I am not disappointed. I added this as a separate boot drive to only play my online games. The speed is INCREDIBLE. At least twice as fast all around performance while playing the games like LOTRO and STO and even more so just using Windows 7. Just zoning into areas is 4x as fast and the graphics doesn't choke nearly as bad in an intense raid like situation.
Since it is really only about 74GB usable space you have to be selective when installing programs. I basically have the OS, Firefox, ATI graphics drivers, and two games which are probably over 10GB each. This leaves me with 33 GB of free space left. I still have room for maybe WOW or Fallen Earth but then that's it. I couldn't justify the price for buying a 160GB unit just to play games and this does what I had hoped it would do and more.
All around I am very happy with the performance and as a aside, I have another boot device in case my regular boot up hard drive or OS goes south.Get more detail about Intel 80 GB X25M Mainstream SATA II Solid State Drive (SSD) Retail Package SSDSA2MH080G2R5.
