  • That was awesome. Sucha boost in real workd performance due to having an SSD. I wish you showed the differences in Boot Times. Or the time it takes for photoshop or premeire to load and complete. That was simply awsome though. On my next computer I am definately getting an SSD as my OS, apps,a nd games dirve. and a traditional hard drive as for my media files.

  • Thank you we are adding boot times to our tests...

  • Hi can I ask a couple quick questions?

    Are there two separate screw drivers needed? one for opening the back cover and one for removing the HD?

    Can you tell me the specific models for each screwdriver?

    thanks!

  • We will be posting a complete how to with everything you need to know buy this weekend,, thank you for viewing

  • Have you installed the new EFI 1.7 update?

  • Yes we have. Works Great :)

  • Nice video, but please level off the sound. The intro music is about 30 decibels louder than all the narrative.

  • JOHNMONK66: Dude either you have no idea what your on about or staking a guess. A ssd is alot faster due to no moving parts and not having a disk to search constantly the advantages of ssd over hardrive are multiple from lower running temps quieter operation and no parts to go wrong ssd work faster and boot faster depending on there write speed and make drives such as intel are twice as fast . You are talking crap because you have no facts to back your ridiculous claim It isn't a myth.
