I bought this drive with BF3 @ MemEx for $129 after rebate. Just installed it into FlameOn's system with Windows 7 Ultimate and boot times are about 10-15 seconds.

It's only SATA II (3gbps) instead of SATA III (6gbps) but honestly, in real world usage you would hardly notice.

I think it's a great drive since it's at the $1/GB or under level and Intel is great for reliability. It's not going to be the fastest SSD by any margin but it is still so fast after coming from mechanical drives that you will be blown away.

I also have a 128GB Crucial C300 (same as M4 but faster in random reads/writes but slower in some other areas) and a 64MB Kingston V100 and I don't think I would notice a difference.
