Yeah, there’s the fact read/write speeds don’t fully stabilize (downward) with only 1 GB, especially on an SSD, and 4 GB would be more like it.
That aside, if you buy this, go for the 480 GB . . . you’ll only pay about $20-25 more, the write speed is about 100 MB/sec faster (as mentioned here), and if you’re looking to clone your C: drive over to an SSD to use as your BOOT_MAIN, there’s more chance of the contents of your old mechanical C: drive fitting.

im sorry but that benchmark with 1gb test is misleading and inacurate of real values, you should do it with 3gb or 5gb.
Will keep it in mind for future testing.

Good review, thanks for this.
