Good SSD (although the long-term test is still pending, I've only had it for about 3 weeks)!
It was delivered with a 3.5" adapter.
I installed the SSD in my new HP 8570p: The thing runs! I don't give a damn about the MB/s, I didn't measure it either ;)
By the way, mine already came with firmware 1.5 by mail.
Thanks @digitec again for the fast shipping; the SSD was here before the laptop (which I ordered elsewhere).Super part! No problems at all with the istallier...
Super part!
No problems at all with the installation.

SSD purchased on 25.10., firmware 1.5
I can't quite agree with "rumenzori". The SSD was delivered with a U-sheet and 8 screws, all of which fitted and there was no problem for me when installing the 3.5".
I have a desktop with SATA II and Gigabyte P55-UD4 mainboard and two HDD.
I disconnected the HDD and connected the SDD to SATA 0. I had to set PCH SATA to AHCI in the BIOS.
Win 7 recognised the SDD and installed itself. Then I connected the HDD and although the message came up that the drivers were installed, the HDD was not shown in Explorer.
To do this, I first had to announce the HDD under Administration - Disk Manager. Now everything works fine.
Unfortunately there was no hint to do this. Took some time...
Programmes start up pleasantly faster, updates also run faster. I am very satisfied.

with dd bs=10240 count=1024000 if=/dev/zero of=test.file I reached the maximum 460 MB/s on my MacBook Pro 13'' early 2011. Not to be believed! I am very satisfied.

It's OK. It was recognised immediately on my ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe motherboard. OS installation went in record speed, no comparison with normal hard drives.
AS SSD test results for me approx. : Read= 480 MB/s, Write= 410 MB/s
Very fast, Windows and programme starts clearly much faster than before on a normal hard disk. However, don't expect miracles, the PC processor won't get any faster with an SSD ;-).
The current firmware is 1.5, which was already installed here. Otherwise, I recommend upgrading the firmware before doing anything with the SSD, downloads are available online at OCZ.
The included 3.5" adapter on the other hand, rarely seen such crap, -1. Doesn't even have threads like or for the normal hard drive screws!, shape does not correspond to a 3.5" hard drive, SATA connection does not fit on a 3.5" trayless SATA dock station. Absolutely brainless, moronic design.

Super disk, with crystaldiskmark i get 467mb read and 475mb write speed. so far no freezes or similar. so far definitely: 5 stars

I have been using the HD in my MacBook pro 13'' (mid 2012, Mountain Lion) since 31.8.
I cloned the HD onto the SSD and installed it, it worked perfectly, various programmes start much faster, e.g. Microsoft Word & Excel.
Only the TRIM function has to be activated via the terminal, as a layman it took me less than 5 minutes.

First update to firmware 1.4! Only then fill.
Thanks to the Marvell controller (+Indilinx firmware) it runs reliably and as fast as usual like OCZ. The update should be carried out urgently, if not already installed from the factory.
Then have fun with it!Pro
- fast
- absolutely reliable so far
- Firmware update cycle
Contra
- Firmware update unnecessarily complicated (picky about connection and driver)
