thank you to everyone who helped, one more question though I just installed it like I would another HDD and have been happy ever since but I read about people worrying so much about firmware? i assume the firmware is on the SSD its self?

Just update it if you have to. Intel Toolbox should tell you when there is a new firmware out.

Apparently you do not understand what firmware is.

Why do mobile phones, digital cameras, TV remotes, ipods, ipads, motherboards, routers, etc need firmware? It is the permanent base code for the hardware to interact with other hardware and software and how the item operates.

I remember the first time I set my eyes on the Silverstone TJ07. It was like looking A PC Tower that screamed quality and versatility! The case is very light, unlike other full tower cases. Thumbs...

I had this case for a good while and it was such a joy. Everyone that saw my computer called it "The Tank" because they loved the beefy looks of it. I found the case to be very easy to work with...
