Happy owner of a Lenovo Y700 17ISK (ideapad) that has this little beast inside set up as disk 1.
Installation of windows 7 64 bit possible only when installing on 1Terra Western Digital disk 0 and then cloning with another program from inside windows to disk 1.
But if partitioned as GUID (GPT) SATA AHCI boot and NTFS this little baby can really bring some difference to Windows experience even on an old OS…
Counted from Lenovo screen on bootup till CTRL-ALT-DELTE screen only 6 seconds (most of which came from the Windows visual effects on Windows start up screen). Without effects it would need 2 or 3 seconds to get there… (Windows 2003 Server Domain login…)
As for its use, Word in half a second, Mozilla in 1,5 seconds, outlook less than one second. I repeat Domain environment)… Forgot to mention ESET 64 bit with file protection activated… Blindingly fast disk if supported by system…

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. SM951 will not work in Pro13 people don't waste your time and money like me. XP941 is best you can get for Pro 13 tried both in my Pro 13 other people having same problem with SM951 won't work as bootable partition!

Just bought SM951 512gb AHCI to upgrade my Vaio Pro 13 but for some reason I can’t create partition when installing windows7 it gets stuck at partition screen the partition is there but windows won’t load on it. Just strange because before that I had SATA SSD AHCI. What I am missing? Tried Different Bios settings but no luck..
