 another flop - did Transcend even test these first? February 2, 2008

My experience mirrors the others above. I installed the product in a regular PC, one I had built and was using as an HTPC, so I wanted an SSD to make the system more quiet. Very quick format, over four hours to install XP. I stuck with it anyways. Anytime I do anything once I'm in XP, it's VERY slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes for any random application to load (like JRiver Media Center, Adobe Reader, Firefox, etc). If I right click on My Computer for the purpose of pulling up the properties to get to the device manager, it'll take anywhere from 6-7 minutes to get into the device manager. If I then take another 3-5 minutes to get into the task manager and then processes, it shows my that the system idle process on the CPU usually sits in the high 90s, so there's nothing else going on in the background. I reinstalled the old fashioned HDD, and the problem went away. This product is an absolute dud, Transcend should issue a prompt recall. I was thinking about exchanging it thinking maybe I got a bad unit, but apparently, mine operates exactly like any other fully functional drive does and is not defective. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

Formatting is really fast; installing windows xp broke of suddenly, my notebook getting extremely hot in the meantime. None of three computers found the card then, no further formatting or installing was possible.
This Transcend card is definitely an absolute flop.

My experience matches the previous reviewer's description.
Windows XP installation took about 4 hours before I just gave up.
I own a Samsung 1.8" SSD in a Toshiba Libretto U100 that is lightning fast compared to this Transcend piece of junk.
Very disappointed. I recommend staying away.

I've tried to install Windows XP on this drive twice. The drive formated instantly. First few megabytes copied very fast and then it slowed down to a crawl. I repeated the process after waiting for 4 hours with "Time Remaining" stuck at 39 min., with the same results. Then I placed the drive in an external usb enclosure to see what's going on. The formating takes a few seconds. During file transfer to the SSD drive the first 8-9MB copy really fast, then it slows down to a crawl. 18GB took at least 2 hours to copy onto this drive. I would stay away from it.
