So the product we received from G.Skill is their 64 GB Core Series SATA II 2.5" SSD.

This series SSD drives are available in capacities of 64GB and 128GB. The drives deliver an incredible 155 MB/s read and 90 MB/s write speeds at theoretical maximum. The seek time on these puppies is amazing; at less than 1 ms. And that's very important. The speed will increase your overall PC experience as the vertebrae of overall system speed and performance is your boot drive.

Let's be honest, how many of you have a faster read/write boot drive with your OS on it and then other (slower) HD's for pure storage?

But heck, not bad for a product weighing 90 grams. The drives come with a two year full warranty.

Some advantages of this product are:

• Compatible with SATA-I and SATA-II interface
• Fully compatible with notebooks, personal computers, and servers
• High reliability assured based on the internal ECC
• ROHS Compliant - no lead used
• Low power consumption to extend battery life
• High performance and reliability
• Shock resistance increases data protection
• No noise
• 2 year warranty

G.Skill gives the product a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 1.5 million hours, which is a highly statistical figure. But in reality, if that MTBF even was a tenth of the claimed value (150,000 hours) then the drive would still last 8760hrs (365 days x 24 hours) / 150,000 = 17 years. Considering it utilizes MLC technology .. no-body knows for sure though what the real life-span of a drive will be.
