Man i wish 200gb and up were cheaper to buy. Would love to have some more room for more games instead of just 90gb. Time to upgrade later soon.

Maybe a little low? Install the sata driver for your mobo.
  1. For AMD systems, use the newest chipset driver. (Link)
  2. For Intel systems, use the newest Rapid Storage Technology driver. (Link)
    If you can not find the Intel driver look here: (link)

We are really close. It would not be too crazy to have a full SSD system as of now.

Also, luckily this particular drive has a 3 year warranty unlike that OCZ thing... ugh still kinda mad about that.

I'm still stuck using mechanical drives for all my audio data. frown.gif Waiting on 250ish SSDs to go down in price a little more. That way at least all my audio software has some breathing room. thumb.gif

I feel like the odd one out with my OCZ drives. They don't seem too popular on this thread lol.
Edit: Sean, your reply to my quote on page 31, i agree with you with the company support. It is just a shame that not all businesses are dedicated to their customers entirely, even if it does involve less net profit yearly.
