Show us your SSD performance

Thanks WHS.

I knew someone would know or you would be on line at some point.

I will definitely make a new image after install before making any changes.

Delivery is supposed to be TODAY!

ONE DAY DELIVERY!!!
I used free 3 day shipping.
I guess this will make up for the 7 days from Los Angeles to St. Louis with the 3 day stop in the cornfields of Iowa of my last order from California.

Everyone look you may never see "Early Delivery" again.
Maybe the world is coming to an end after all?

I turned it on yesterday morning... haven't noticed any speed increases. I'll give it another day or so as I haven't been on this machine enough to be certain.

Thanks Dave, I'll check it out. The minister of finance fusses at me all the time. I just ignore it.

Fumz, do you have a sadistic streak in you or maybe you hold something against me. I mean, I can't understand why anyone would find it funny that I get fussed at all the time. It's just a case that I talk about a new computer part and she fusses. So, I go upstairs, close the door and order the part. She is OK then until the part arrives and starts fussing again. I go back upstairs, close the door, and install the part. What's wrong with that?
/sarcasm.

Maybe it is funny come to think about it. But how funny it is may just depend on where you are standing.

Yep... how funny it is depends on where you stand... and I my friend, have been standing right next to you... I just never knew we had a funny expression for it!

I have it in hand. I'll be back!

Good luck. I know you will love it. Hopalong will be Hopping much faster now.

He'll have to change his username to "Sprintalong".

Or maybe Flash Gordon - for those old enough to remember.

Well it is installed. Driver installed and recognized in Disk Management.
On to the transfer.

After hooking it up the 'puter wouldn't turn on!

Q-connector came off. Hooks all the front power panel controls to the moboard but disconnects easily when moved. Phew!
First thought was OH SHXX!!!!

I'll be back.

From your tutorial.

Note: Before you activate the SSD, it is recommended to set the BIOS to AHCI. Best time to do that is just before you change the boot sequence. Once Windows7 is running, you make the corresponding settings in the OS. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.

Many people claim that there is a significant performance gain with AHCI. I, however, did not see that. But it may be different from system to system.

AHCI enable.When?

I'm ready to transfer using Paragon Migrate which is what I'm doing next.

Then do AHCI thru my present HDD Windows per BFK's tutorial? AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

-or-

Change boot to SSD then do the AHCI change per BFK's tutorial.

or just leave it IDE/SATA as set now?
---------------------------------------------------
Also Paragon Migrate has no way to include Recovery Partiton.

Only lists C / Win7 or E/XP partition. No D listed to select.
That is the way it should work?

I'm just doing the C/Win7 to the SSD.

How about Flash Memory Drive Gordon?
