Hello Sven,

Windows 7 installed on my SSD without any issue or having to do anything elase with it.

You should turn off the Disk Defragmenter schedule though since you do not want to defrag a SSD hard drive.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

If it's an OCZ drive visit their forums before starting there's lots of tips, firmware and software specifically for their drives.

Hello Icenine,

If you can wait a few months, the prices are suppose to drop when some newer and faster SSD's are released. ;)

Hello Icenine,

yeah,
i'm hoping.
probably just in time when 7 goes RTM and we get final builds. i got spoiled using SSD from building a couple of high executive laptops at work. you know they need to have the latest and greatest.
SSD is SICK though. It is true what they say. You will not miss it unless you have used it. After setting up a couple of systems, when going back to a regular sata drive you think windows is broken because it takes so long to boot. Don't even get me started on application installation and launch.
