Has Anyone...
Has anyone attempted to install Win7 on a Solid State drive? If so, what has your experience been like? (Have you found it significantly faster during install, and have you found it faster overall while running the OS)

I know it's been done because people have installed 7 on EeePCs and other netbooks that run on SSDs. No idea what the instillation is like, though.
Hello GreyWolf,
Oh yeah, it's faster with a SSD drive in everything. Windows 7 runs great on it. :)
I have the original netbook, the EEE701 with a 4gig SSD. Someone was kind enough to vLite Win7 down to 1.9gig and then upload the ghost image over eeeuser.com. Surprisingly for those bare minimum specs it actually ran pretty decent and booted up as quick as XP. It should fly on the newer atom based models.
Yep, see here for comparative test results:

Oh yes, the Intel X25-M and X25-E are the fastest v3 SSD's out there right now, but they are also some of the most expensive ones to.
