Wow how you hooked up your SSD is pretty good... I never would have though of double sided tape lol.
The SSD is pretty good, when I first read about them in a magazine I thought they were not worth it (it was like $300 for 80GB) but now I think they would defiantly be worth it since I don't have that much stuff on my current hard drive.

Nice work:good:.
 
So after the time has passed you still like your investment?
I been looking at your drive for a bit now plan to buy it once the prices come down. I hear some iffy responses for these drives. Some just love them others say "neat but not worth it" etc etc.

I would use this as a primary obviously and then use a 500GB for downloads etc to save the "life" on the drive just install games/programs etc. I gotta say anything less then 80GB is not worth it for me as OS = 15-20GB then games are becoming 8-15GB each and programs will be around 2GB for me.
 
i love it, thinking of a second for raid0....

people who are saying its not worht it are talking from there point of view price wise, everybody has there limits to how much they spend.

i went for good parts in my pc and i seen the hd as the next best upgrade

the drive is a very good performer so thats not being questioned, i cant speak for other people but i speak for myself and i dont regret it
 
i just got an OCZ solid series ssd, i was amazed at how tiny it was:P
i got the 60 GB one and plan to put only windows on it. but i did kinda struggle to find a place to put it, i didnt get a bracket for it or anything so i had to improvise. but i cant wait to start up my computer and see how it performs.
 
well the double sided sticky foam pads worked wonders for me ;)

they are so smal you could mount them all over a pc case, let me know how you find your ssd....

my 1st ssd sucked so bad i sent it back within 2 days, used it for less than 1hr but i do hope you have a good one
 
I would rather use the double sided tape but with a plastic middle (so you can remove it and put it back on)

I do this with pictures and stuff to ensure they never fall down (most are homemade from family) I decided to wait on SSD for another year...I am tempted but $250 is over what I consider a upgrade...my next build I will get one though.

BTW can you install the OS normally or do you still have to clone it to the drive?
