A really Good Company, now Gone

So, this shouldn't be surprising but this is still one of the better brand SSD manufacturers that we (at time of Writing given they're exiting the market) USED to have. The size is standard, the speed is about as fast as you can get for a HDD styled drive to mount, but given that they're no longer in the market. Understand that my review comes from when I got these for 32-45$ each. Not whatever current outrageous price they are now for a 500GB solution. These play nice with anything SATA related including SATA III Adapters of almost any type I put these into for checking that the systems are working fine. If you find a bargain within the range I paid, by all means these are incredible long lasting drives.
