I'll tell you what, you've got a good deal there. I bought one for this cotuempr and it costs me a3120 (that's what, $200?). I have another sitting here too that I never installed, just in case. Thinking back, I remember when 240MB drives were -massive-, god I'm getting old
Good Speed Increase by jackocurly0074
Upgraded from a RAID stripe and the performance difference is massive! Much faster booting and shutting down as you would expect from an SSD. Got very decent deal which made this SSD worth it over the Sandforce based controllers which are generally not as reliable! Figures are inline with the spec and firmware update gives good speed boost.

Question by dan
hey i have a asus P6T S motherboard, i cant remember the specs can you tell me if this motherboard is sata III compatible and if not will this drive run sata2, thanks
If it is the Asus P6T SE (http://goo.gl/m3Mw2), then it only has SATA II (3Gb/s) ports. Yes, any SATA drive is backwards compatible with previous versions of SATA. I'm using this very drive in a SATA II port of my MacBook Pro and love the speeds i'm getting
Got Mine on 6th December by Mr_bob_bob
Hi,
I have just got this and can confirm that it has the latest firmware installed (009) and it is a cracking little drive.
Thanks Aria
Oh yes indeedy!
Firmware version? by Spudhead
Does this drive come with firmware version 0009 already installed?
As far as I am aware, we are on stock with the previous firmware. Please contact sales@aria.co.uk who might be able to fully clarify this however.
