Earlier with your old h-drive you said you EAKED a bit??? how do you eak a hard drive?
Also how much faster is your new one m8....what do you notice when you first run it?
Not paying loads of wonga just to load me OS 10 seconds quicker if thats all it does.

lol the "old" HDD was a RAM drive, so doesnt count really :P

The new drive is noticably faster - any apps on it load a lot quicker (noticably faster even than my RAID0 Raptors) - allegedy (as when RAID rapters were the dogs) it will also get you in game quicker - bu no games on the PC at the mo whilst i wait for the HDD firware and delivery of my new GFX card

Rig: Rampage Extreme Motherboard
2X Seagate 500Gb 7200 32MB Cache

Results:
Standard Single Drive: Average: 98.2 MB/Sec
Asus Speeding HDD No driver install: Average: 112.6 MB/Sec
Asus Speeding HDD with Driver Install: Average: 56.1 MB/Sec

Just got my SSD replaced with this - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/225806...edium=products. Anyone had one of these or indeed any Crucial SSD? How would you rate them? Only ever has memory of them previously

Will post benchmark later. It cant be as bad as what I had before which i call the "imitation SSD"!
