That is a slow one though mate. Other SSD's are double the speed. Best to put something like this in a laptop where it uses less juice than a 5400 RPM drive and has a big performance increase over the slower RPM drive. For a performance PC might be best pass on this one and spend another £20 for a 500MB/s beast.

Also try to go for a 250GB if you have the money, the space runs out fast on a 128GB if you put a bit of games on it ;)

actually its still a solid disk, its good bang for the buck and it would excellent in a laptop (as 90% of laptops doesnt have sata3 controllers)
and the fact the speed is consistent unlike most 500mb/sec beasts, that drop to 50% speed when you use more then 50% of the drive.
or as a HTPC disk
