Title: SSD
Post by: Matt on April 06, 2009, 06:19:35 pm

I recently got an SSD.

I timed installing the build tonight.

I had to click "yes" to the UAC prompt.

It had to unpack the build.

I had to say "alright, close the program".

I had to click "Accept" on the license agreement.

I had to click "Next" to start the install.

It said "Media Center installation complete" 11 seconds from the first step.

Pretty neat.

What capacity? How much?

It's an OCZ Vertex 120 GB.

I kind of wanted an Intel, but the Vertex was 50% bigger for the same price.  It's a little scary running drive firmware that's like a week old, but somebody has to test, right?

If you're into this kind of thing, this is a great article on SSDs:

I posted this utube link a couple of weeks ago: 6 TB SSD RAID setup.... (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=51182.0)

Impressive stuff indeed. It's my birthday on the thirteenth if anyone wants to spoil me :D
