I recently purchased two new 480gb SSD's and using them in my two main computers. One is an all in one and the other is a ASUS laptop with 6gb ram with Windows 8.1. Its been a couple of months and so far so good. Start up is quicker and no worries if you shut it down and re-start it immediately.

I got them because I had no previous experience with SSD's and wanted to do testing then use them for a while. Mike
