I can assure you that the fresh win7 will be activated on your Dell laptop (upon installation, with the Dell supplied OEM key).

OEM key is tagged to your hardware (not the hdd).

QUOTE(dadarouch @ Sep 25 2011, 10:56 AM) Roger. But I checked, there is no update for my 90GB lol. Tried to install OS yesterday night, BSODed but BIOS did not detect my SSD. Will double check tonight, must be I did not plug the cables in properly due to tiredness. Latest FW is 1.3. FW can be updated on non-OS drive.  What mobo are you running now? |

QUOTE(wanfay @ Sep 27 2011, 08:50 PM) Planning to get a SSD for OS and apps. MB supports sata III 6.0, so thinking of either Vertex 3 or Intel 510 series 120gb. Is there a significant difference in performance between sata II(3.0) and III(6.0) in real experience? If not much different might opt for sata II instead. Need advice here. Thanks. Sata 3 ssd is more snappy. I came from Sata 2 to Sata 3 sata.Added on September 27, 2011, 11:52 pm QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Sep 27 2011, 11:01 PM) If you are looking for sata 3. Stick to Intel 510 or Crucial M4. Both are Marvell controllers. Crucial makes the SSD for intel IIRC. Vertex 3 is rated TOP SSD among Corsair Force 3 120GB, Crucial M4 256GB, Intel 510 120GB, OCZ Agility 3 240GB, OCZ Vertex 3 240GBhttp://www.techradar.com/news/computing-co...94095?artc_pg=2 This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Sep 27 2011, 11:52 PM |

To the contrary, I have not had much problem with sandforce.
Perhaps I am from different camp. My first ssd was Crucial C300 128GB tho. I have been using sandforce ssd ever since. |

Swapped Corsair Force 3 with Vertex 3 this morning.
Updated firmware for both. Corsair in FW 1.32 and Vertex 3 in FW 2.13. Cloned the OS ssd in less than 10 minutes. Attached thumbnail(s)
