    SSD: dangerous to use with Windows XP?
  

*by G***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2011*

I have been using 3 SSD drives for about 6 weeks now and have a mixed bag of feelings... For previous stories see [...]I have two laptops having 80GB and 160GB drives installed, both running Windows XP, and one desktop 320GB with Vista on it. The drives are about 60 - 70 % full, with lots of daily activity going on. I had the "Toolbox Optimization utility", aka TRIM guy, scheduled to run twice a week. The laptops got very fast, not doubt about it!Here is what has happened to me:1. System #1, 160GB, lots of code installs and data movement, suddenly got slow, XP froze. Multiple boot attempts got through to various stages of the system being loaded. After about 3 of them decided to boot standalone Acronis True Image and was able to pull a backup image off the SDD drive. Then tried to boot the system a few times, ended up with "No system disk found".Replaced the SDD with a regular drive, restored the backup image, was back in business in about 3 hrs, sweating and swearing a lot. Connected the SSD drive over USB, the system would not even detect it, looked like fried electronically. Checked the restored drive for fragmentation: the picture showed sectors used all the way up to the drives capacity, with lots of holes in between. So... did it run out of free sectors while it was on SSD?Luckily still within 30-day "no questions asked" return policy from Amazon, got the drive replaced the next day. Repeated the SSD installation procedure, booted off it and never had any problems since then (3 weeks). I am very careful now to run the TRIM utility before and after any task involving large amounts of data. Have it set to run 3 times a week automatically. Reasonably happy.2. System #2: 80GB, medium activity. System got slower, reported booting error, repeated boot got me through. Remembering the lesson from system #1, fired up TRIM utility (set to run twice a week anyway), the moment it started spinning, even before getting to 1% checked, POOF! The system froze and I got the "blue screen of death". "No system disk" on boot attempt. Found the original disk, replaced, booted OK, except data was a month old as I was not keeping up with backups (ever heard of a failing SSD drive?!, nah... right...). Connected the SSD drive via USB: seems to work electronically, data recovery utilities did not find a single file on it, it is totally GONE! Lesson learned: keep current backup! I am about to exercise the 5 years warranty rights from Intel and give it another try... Totally not happy.3. My system #3, desktop using a 320GB SSD: running Vista happily for 6 weeks now. I diligently run the TRIM utility and backups twice a week. Very happy with performance, so-so happy otherwise because I constantly need to watch what I am doing.Anyway, I wanted to share my experience with you all and ask the big question: should people be using SSD drives with systems which do not have an automatic TRIM capability? I think this is quite dangerous, despite Intel not saying anything about such dangers of the drives going completely kaputt when they run out of free sectors.

*by N***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2011*

This WAS my first solid state drive.  What a quick death!  When I first got this hard drive, I cloned it.  Cloning the hard drive was quick and easy.  After the installation, I was impressed at how fast it made my system.Now it is time for the dirt.  Who cares about speed when it only works for a total of 45 days? Honestly, I am willing to trade in speed for reliability any day.  Sign me up.  Because now, I have to spend a few hours getting everything back to normal again. Re-installing, and shipping the defective product is a major pain.  How annoying.  I thought that technology was supposed to make my life easier, not harder?I realize that a factory sometimes manufactures bad batches.  Statistically, older hard drives either die within the first 6 months or after 7 years.  It is less likely for hard drives to fail between those time frames.  However, based on the large number of complaints by other reviewers, these are not bad batches.  They are bad designs.I will update on how annoying/fun returning this product will be.------------------------August 10, 2011:I used Intel's live chat to get some help on this process.  Their website wasn't overly clear on this.The Intel representative told me that I have to pay for shipping it there, and that they will pay for its way back.  How gracious of them!  Wait ... so why am I being punished for being sold a faulty product again? Re-installing everything and being without a functioning laptop should be enough of a punishment.It seems to me that if you get a faulty hard drive, you will have to take a double-hit on this one.  Being unsatisfied with their service, I told the representative that I want to talk to the manager.  He told me that a manager will contact me in one business hour.She called me in less than one business hour.  I told her that I am not willing to pay for shipping back a faulty product.  She replied saying that she will waive the $25 fee for shipping this one time.  Well let's hope that there is no other time.  If this was to happen again, then I will have to pay for shipping this piece of metal back to them.------------------------December 24, 2011:My computer hung while I was searching the internet.  Surfing the internet is not computing intensive.  To those interested in buying this hard drive, if your computer hangs and you get the blue screen of death, your hard drive will be toast.  After rebooting my computer, the famous "Operating system not found" message came up again.  Here we go again, another hard drive failure.  Merry Christmas to me.------------------------December 28, 2011:I called intel and asked for my money back.  After being put on hold for ten minutes, the agent told me that they will make a refund in this special case.

    This SSD gives my old laptop a new life
  

*by E***5 on Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 11, 2012*

The Intel 320 SSD 160GB works like a charm. Installation is easy and straight forward. My 5 years old Thinkpad X60 Tablet was running out of diskspace (but other than that everything is smooth and so I was really hesitate to upgrade to a new laptop) and this SSD gives my laptop a new life. Even though the X60 interface is only half the speed of what teh 320 series could provide, it is still a big improvement from what it was before. I also twisted a bit with Norton 360's utility to delay certain start up processes in addition to turn off disk-defragmentation and indexing. Overall, I highly recommend this product.
