So if i already have windows and all program on my HDD, all I have to do is install windows onto the SSD, plug the old HDD back in and it should be recognized as a seconday correct? Then I can move whichever programs I wish to the SSD etc..?

No they will need to be re-installed.

funny thing is that though speeds of drive are lower, the overall speed of the system has greatly increased. i'm assuming this is due to everything being on a single SSD instead of spread on a an SSD and a HDD

is this much of a speed variance common not even 2 months later?

How much free space? And have you transferred much data to the SSD lately?

Hi Sean! First of all, thanks for this useful thread redface.gif

I wanted to ask, is there any known issues involving P35 motherboards and SSD performances? Adquired recently an used SSD and even on a clean W7 x64 installation I wasn't able to make it run as it should. However, when i run the test from my old WD disk, the test look ok!

From my old W7 installation:

thump_7833329hd-tune-desde-otro-d.jpg

From a clean W7 installation:

thump_7833335hd-tune-desde-mismo.jpg

If my memory's right, my motherboard supports SATAII controller integrated in ICH9R.

The performance in the fresh W7 installation drive is really poor, system freezes every 10 seconds average... Any ideas?

Hi guys. I'm new to SSDs, but i used AS SSD to benchmark my Corsair Force 3 60GB and i'm pretty sure these benchmarks are horribly lacking. Please help. (Also i installed windows with AHCI turned on and i did the indexing trick... but to no avail)
