well i got my ssd in post today (pics)





my first thoughts where, £200 for that little thing but dam are they different to normal hd's

my pc booted to desktop in 39secs but was unusable for a further 5-10 secs while the drive organised itself (1tb 7,200 rpm samsung spinpoint f1-brandnew)

my solid state drive shuts down completely in 3 seconds flat and boots to desktop usable in 15 seconds!

granted that writing to the drive is not as fast as reading but its still faster than conventional hard drives, i installed windows7 64bit in 15mins aprox!!!

in a nutshell the drive is expensive but its dam rapid and i can only see things getting better in the ssd department

pros-
easy mounting
size
speed
silent

cons-
price
storage capacity



heres how i mounted mine using double sided sticky foam pads (no space to mount inside due to tripple raditaor)
