Laptops with Stickers

Ha, what a throwback!

I remember this one with the Intel SSD sticker:

"The Intel SSD 320 is the much anticipated follow-up to the Intel X25-M, easily the most popular consumer SSD to date."

Time flies, such a nice upgrade back in the day; now we take these things for granted.

[EDIT]

I just saw the fon.com sticker too… nostalgia hits hard.

I used that on a vacation in Madrid back when Starbucks was filled with people on their laptops, mostly white MacBooks.

I think I still have a ThinkPad around somewhere with that SSD sticker on it. Upgrading from a spinning drive to the X25-M is still to this day the most effective upgrade I've ever had in a system, more effective than any 2-3 generations of laptop upgrades combined.

I definitely got one or more of those stickers with some Intel SATA SSDs... sadly those I think have been the ones I had the worst luck with. I think they were one of those series that had some really bad write amplification problem or something like that, due to I think some issue with their power-saving implementation.

I was just telling my buddy the same thing. It was our first SSD in HS. Mine eventually died with double the guaranteed TBW.
