Do you really need your DVD drive that badly?
Most programs or movies now a days can be gotten digitally anyways.

Unless you're going on business where you might have to use DVDs for presentation or something. But even then, you could always result into using flash drive as storage capacity medium anyways.

My notebook is setup like this now:
- HDD slot using a 2.5" 7200rpm 500GB HDD
- Removed DVD drive and installed a Crucial M4 64GB in its place.

Windows installed on the SSD obviously and all my other files is on the 500GB.
If I need to install huge programs (like photoshop or microsoft office or games even), I would then just get the .iso files and use PowerISO to install it on the HDD.

To me honestly, it's the best way to use a notebook today.

What laptop do u use?

should be using 12.7mm caddy bay

  no offense the m4 in the box look imitation to my eyes or the pic too blurry ?

My first SSD just got it few hours ago. Intel 520 120GB running on i5 2500K 3.30Ghz Asus P8P67 Pro 4GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 RAM

Here are the results of some benchmarks I ran:



Please comment and let me know if I further optimazation is required. I connected the SSD to a Intel SATA6 port.
Thanks.

Hi guys, im new to SSDs and been wanting to ask:

1. I have a budget of roughly around RM450-500, any recommendations or suggestion to what brand or capacity i can get.
2. Currently using Win 7 HP 64bit OEM installed licence on HDD, if i were to get a SSD and move the OS there, can i still maintain the same licence?

Help me out guys!

hi all,

I just built a new desktop... using an Intel SSD 330 60GB as the primary drive. Working very well so far.

Got a question.... can this SSD fit and work in my DELL XPS M1530 also?... sick of it keep crashing HDDs... replaced 4 already so far.

i'm planning to upgrade my ASUS 1015b from harddisk to ssd.
i'm looking for any cheap 60 gb ssd for the upgrade
mainly use my netbook for surfing, watching movies and typing..

my only questions are is it worth to upgrade and what performance expected to improve given the processor just C-50?

my fear is the problems that i encountered not solve after changing to ssd. (my problems is slow response when surfing internet using firefox. sometimes become not responsive..)

my almost empty windows 8 RP took up 44GB.. no application installed yet

Sata 3 is the blue cable right?

Damn i have no sata 3 cable in stock.... My firmware currently 000F, thats the newest right?

Hi guys, if I purchase an OEM SSD, it does not come with a bracket right. Is it possible if I operate the SSD without a bracket? Will it affect or damage it?
