Any PC with a SATA 1 or 2 connection can accommodate and SSD drive, is simple to install and get going, and they are faster in Windows 7.

Thanks

if i buy this ssd 128gb could i transfer my win7 ultimate 64bit onto my ssd from my 500gb wd green and when i do will i be able to open up programs like you can faster?

[motherboardsorg]

Yes, Ideally it would be best to do a fresh install of Win7 on the SSD, along with your programs, and then use your 500 GB WD as Media storage..Music,Pics, Videos, Documents, Ect.

[motherboardsorg]

@xXAlphaRevanXx I've been a windows user all my life. Not only do I now wish I had a macbook, but macs are FASTER, BETTER, more ORGANIZED, and 100% virus/malware/trojan FREE and with the new OS X 5 out, it's better than ever!

[skgivesgold]

can you do another vid comparing a 10000rpm hard drive and the ssd ?

[GaminOnAMac]

@motherboardsorg haha thats funny

[Tomek016PL]

yes you can

[ZOIDRAB]

I have 2 in raid 0.They read at 450 mbps.

[alex14469]

Great comparison, I was thinking of buying a very small (about 32gb-64gb) ssd for the os and standard hdd for storage so hopefully the prices will drop a little before I buy it.

[I9kieran94]

would it not be better to compare this SSD to a WD velocoraptor 10000rpm?

[arberiscrazy]

Can I raid -10 these?
