Nate,
It behaves exactly like a normal hard drive, but way faster. For the older SSD drive I'm currently using, I find it best to install everything on it that you can, and just use the normal drive for backups and storage since speed it not as important for these and space is at a premium on the SSD. |

Brink, If you are reading this (or anyone else) How do you secure a 2.5" SSD into a desktop tower? I am looking at something like this.
Newegg.com - ICY DOCK MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" to 3.5" SSD & SATA Hard Drive Converter - Black - HDD Accessories But it's the only one I can find. Are there other ways of doing it. |

Nate,
That would work just fine. LOL, I used cable ties to mount mine securely in the 3.5" bay. Funny, but it works great.

Cool thanks. One way or the other they just use standard SATA power and data I guess. I'll figure it out. Thanks again.

Yeah, they're power and data connections are just like a normal SATA hard drive's.

- MSOffice does particularly well, and you can divert the storage element of such progs to the other HDD, to save SSD space.. - I also store my MP3's on the normal drive - WMP12 gives you this option.. |

The Patriot and the Intel both come highly recommended. I just pulled the trigger myself this weekend on the 2nd generation Intel X-25M 80GB drive. While it doesn't boast as high of a sequential write performance stat as the Patriot....it's performance in random writes (the majority of what your machine does day to day) is steller and thus usually is the reason that the Intel X-25m is often crowned the best achiever.
From a cost perspective, you need to look around for the best prices on the 2nd generation Intel X-25M. The new 32nm technology allowed Intel to lower their costs...however retails still want to gouge on the price because they can still sell them. I believe the MSRP on the 80GB drive is only around $250..however retailers like NewEgg are still charging $379 for this drive. I picked up my Intel drive from ToshibaDirect. They currently offer the 80GB for $249 and the 160GB for $473. Laptop Computers, Projectors and Accessories | Toshiba Direct |
