Small and substandard SSD performance.

While you may think 120GB is enough...you'll be living with this drive for several years.
120GB isn't enough.

A 120GB SSD really only gives you about 80-85GB usable space.

Seriously substandard performance for an SSD
--------------------------------------
Max Sequential Read Up to 470 MBps
Max Sequential Write Up to 300 MBps
4KB Random Read Up to 30,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write Up to 40,000 IOPS

One of my 4 year old Samsung 840 EVOs blows that away.

Not for the price it doesn't... Also, my hard drive is 5400 rpm so I will see improvement...

Yes it is a significant increase over any HDD.

And the price I saw at Newegg was $39.99, not 29.99.

Similar size and price:

You asked, and I gave my opinion.
You seem dead set on it, so go for it.
