Nice!  Those OCZ PCI-E drives look *very* tempting!  >drool<

Have you run into any compatibility "gotchas", or bugs in the firmware?


There is a setting in the device manager for disk drives that has to be set or you get slow downs at boot and shut down. Took forever to figure that one out. But once I did the little monster screamed.

I got some money, and reading this topic thought buying an ssd is a good idea. Looked up for a webshop, the cheapest 64gb ssd was 150 bucks...   :eek:   maybe sometime later  : )

Oh? And what would that be?

I've not had issues like that. My shutdown is very fast. My bootup still very fast, but my POST takes a number of seconds (sadly, I don't have a BIOS allowing for speedy boots, but so be it!).

Just curious if I missed something...

I have been on this for a year now, W-7 on a bootable Intel SSD for just game and tracker unit, all other norm comp stuff is on a bootable W-7 WD,300gb Velaporaptor, I have updated firmware,(it does make a differance with performance)  with this setup, only thing scary is loseing skin's and stick set-up.  if you film alot, you have to move them to keep free space,  but no problems. i love it!
