Has anyone installed a SSD Drive before?

FYI the defrag service is not disabled to prolong the life of a SSD. It's disabled because it will never be necessary. Even if an image of a system partition in which every sector was a fragment of a different file were moved to a SSD it wouldn't be any slower than a clean 1st install.

+1. Like I posted in another thread...People need to learn to leave Windows 7 alone. It is not XP.

Moving the pagefile off the SSD is defeating the purpose of the fast SSD. I have never done that and never encountered any problems. Your SSD will last a lot longer than you will care to keep it. So I would not worry.

Regarding the 2.5" to 3.5" adaptor, here is an example: Newegg.com - OCZ OCZACSSDBRKT Solid State Drive 3.5" Adaptor Bracket

I didn't spend money for an adapter, I used some velcro to "attach" the SSD to the case, works a treat.

If there is a 3.5" bay which is easily accessible, I would recommend the bracket that sells for less than $10. But that is not always the case. I had to resort to Velcro in one of my boxes too (dumb Dell).
