Has anyone installed a SSD Drive before?

Hmm, I have a problem. iTunes backup my iPhone data into c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming... and it is about 16gb per backup and there can be a few backups at a time! My SSD is going to run out of space soon!! What can I do? Good idea to map c:\user files to another drive?

You can move the Roaming folder to the HDD. The Roaming folder has a Location tab in Properties - use that.

The funny part is that all three Appdata subfolders can be moved with the location tab, but not Appdata itself.,

Awesome! That works, whs! THANK YOU!

You are welcome.

In my BIOS setting, I have the following lines:
1. "SATA RAID/ACHI Mode" - which I have changed to AHCI, following whs' tutorial

2. "SATA Port0-1 Native Mode". I choose the option Enable. It means I am using Native IDE. I read that if I'm running Win 7, I should use Native IDE (as opposed to Legacy IDE)

3. A few lines below, I see a "Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode". The 3 options are IDE, AHCI or RAID/IDE.
What is this Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode?
If I change it to AHCI, the following happens:
- my DVD ROM and one harddisk disappear from Windows.
- the intel SSD seems to hang

So I reverted it back to IDE and it seems to work fine.
But if I have to change to AHCI in (1), shouldn't I change to AHCI in (3) to make my SSD perform better. On the other hand, it turning it on slows it down. Does anyone know what that line is for?
