Advice for SSDs:
- Ensure you buy one which supports TRIM (earlier ones sometimes didn't)
- Ensure you put it in a BIOS/SATA mode which also supports TRIM (EHCI etc)
- Read properly the manufacturers' details about the drive and update it's firmware
- Disable drive defragmenting and indexing
- Enable a backup of the drive regularly (as i've had a SSD lose it's partitioning information due to a known hibernation issue on my Dell E6500, and when it loses that info it loses ALL the data on the drive - there's no way of rebuilding the info and rescuing the data!)
- Be aware that OCZ SSDs are good, but they do go wrong - i'm RMAing one currently....and after jumping through hoops it has had to be sent to Holland for RMA!!
Enjoy the much reduced boot times
