Here is mine. Need a better hard drive. Got one of those "Green" drives with low power consumption.

A SSD will take much less power and you will get a lot of performance :) You have 2 choices for the best SSD: Indilinx, Intel.
now lets see peoples scores

I got a HD score of 7.3 with my X-25M
However, a bug in W7 (and Vista) required the disabling Native Command Queuing on the SSD SATA adapter properties to prevent random lockups. I can no longer re run the WEI test because oof it. Though the built in sata throughput test actually went UP for both read and write with NCQ off. Was hoping to maybe see a 7.4 score or something with NCQ off. The windows bug may be fixed with a hot patch by Oct 22nd. (May be fixed now was the rumor I heard but the hot fixes are not generally available yet)
Intel so far is the only SSD that uses NCQ. Mainly meant for slow mechanical drives so that seek times can be optimized, they are using it for small write optimization, but the speed of the drive or something apparently exposes a flaw in the windows storage system somewhere.
