We're swapping because today he got himself a few upgrades (256GB SanDisk Extreme SSD, Iiyama touch screen monitor, Windows 8 etc etc) so he doesn't need the 128GB SanDisk anymore and he was thinking of putting it in his laptop, but as the SanDisk is a bit faster than my Crucial, he said if I wanted I could put the SanDisk in my desktop and then give my Crucial to him for him to use in his laptop. His laptop is only SATA 3GB/s anyway so he'd be limited to about 270MB/s read, but with my SATA 6GB/s I can get over 500MB/s read speed.
Was I the one who gave you instructions on how to get Windows 7 working nicely on SSDs? Basically plug the drive into SATA 6GB/s and make sure AHCI is enabled in the BIOS, then install W7. Make sure only the SSD is plugged in whilst installing 7, you don't want any other disks plugged in too.
128GB should be OK, if you want I'd get another hard drive and install games onto that. That's what I do - my games go on a 2TB HDD.
