amazon lists the specs and has reviews
performance is great from the reviews, but reliability is not yet known as these were newly released.
yes, if they turn out unreliable the dollars saved will pale into insignificance compared to the time lost (depending how rigorous your backup regime is)
With SSDs being under 500gb and 4tb external hard drives being so cheap you have no excuse to not buy yourself a copy of acronis true image and have backups of the entire disk
Sure, but how often do you take a fill image ?
It used to be easy to keep windows system and data completely separate, now it's next to impossible
@Agret: why would you buy a copy of acronis, what a waste of money

@effgee: I do the system volume once a week and my personal data once a night. Because it is differental it takes hardly any time to backup just today's changes.
Acronis backup on the system volume makes a ton of sense since it gives you a full time line and you can restore back to whichever point which is much more powerful than the built in Windows system restore.
Acronis also has a feature called Universal restore where you can create a boot disc/USB that lets you restore your system on any hardware so if your motherboard were to become damaged you can restore the system on a new one with no issues. I've used it to upgrade computers onsite and it saves a ton of time and works great.
Makoto while some of those are good for personal file backups the full image ones in the list have to be manually run and would not perform automated differental backups of the system volume.
@crc32:
not an excuse
Acronis can be used as a bootable media to do a sector disk copy regardless of the disk format.
otherwise
dd is your friend?
@scuderiarmani:
you used to be able to simply move "my documents" to a separate volume, and it was all separate. No windows puts all sorts of stuff scattered around C: drive. And moving the documents folder from C must be done at windows install time.
I'd be very happy to be proved wrong.
seems that 240gb price has risen to $79.88 + $6.04 US is this correct?
Last in stock and filled by a different supplier, probably explains it.
Try this link for 240gb

Why would u neg my comment? It's still available
Probably because it's a completely different product.
How do these PNY drives compare to the other major SSDs? In terms of actual real world performance and reliability.
