They are not the best drive in every situation. But if your looking for a drive that boots your system and loads your apps 0 - 2 sec's faster but that also maintains great performance while multi-tasking then the M won't be beat except from Much more expensive solutions.

If you work with large files all the time then this may not be the best drive for you due to the write speed, but you can minimise this burden by putting a couple in raid 0.

The main advantage the x25-m now has over it's competition in the real world is value.
