1. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
2. In terms of standard gigabytes, 1GiB ≈ 1.074GB and refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier and Microsoft Windows OS.
3. Specific application environments such as temperature and duty cycle will affect the overall reliability rates.

This is criminal. I totally have no money, how can they tempt people like that? Someone please say this drive is totally unreliable so I can feel better.

this drive is horribly slow, if that makes you feel any better. Most ssd are now getting 400-500MB read and write speeds, while this gets only 180-220.

its a good price for a large drive, but its def not a fast drive.

Thank you. I was about to sell everything I own, sperm, plasma, blood, hair, 1st born, to get the funds for it, but if it is slow, I dont want it to be my first ssd experience.

I want to jump on the ssd bandwagon but I need a min of 500 gigs for all the crap I own, what I get off steam, and gamefly pc downloads.

Passmark shows that it is considerably slower than a Vertex 2:

If you're on SATA2 I think 180-220 is acceptable and is already a noticeable difference. My M17xR2 gets 240 from my 128GB M4.

Edit: umm, lol. Just checked the specs and 180-220 is the rated speeds. So I mean, you can't blame the drive for being "slow" because it's running at what it was designed at. Odd.

It cracks me up when people say that any SSD is slow. How often do you need to transfer files at speeds exceeding 200 MB/sec? When there are times you're copying large files, go get a cup of coffee.

why make airplanes to travel great distances quickly. If you need to travel far just hop in a car for 48 hours...

Comparing seconds to hours is ridiculous. Point taken but lets be real here.
