It is smaller than expected but high quality overall easy and comfortable grip.

Definitively this is new technology. It is awesome!
The computer has significantly increased its speed. Some computationally intensive processes running on this hard drive had decreased the time required to a fifth. And there are some cases (when there is read-only activity) that performance increased 25 times.
Quite easy to install on my Dell M6400, I am using this as a secondary hard drive.
This kind of update seems to work better than ram increase, I will explain myself below.
Of course RAM memory upgrade is important when you are under 2 GB. In my case, I did not notice almost any difference when I increased RAM from 8 to 16 GB (I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bits). But after changing the conventional hard drive to this solid state drive made a quite significant difference.
If you are thinking in an upgrade of ram consider if you have a OS running on 64 bits. If you are in a 32 bit system or if you already have over 4 GB better consider replacing your hard drive(s). It is 5-10 times the price but it makes the worth: your computer will become 5-25 times faster. :)
