    I order Crucial C300 in Prodimex and I have it. I use it with my Alienware M17X R1 (sata 2) + 500 GB Seagate Momentus XT.



    The first I use Crucial C300 128GB for system disk (install windows 7 64 bit ultimate). I choose AHCI in BIOS and install all smooth.

    1 . I use MSAHCI for Crucial C300 but windows 7 boot with total time : 65 seconds :( ---. very slowly.



    2. I install Nvidia chipset (Nvidia Storage + Nvidia nForce) in my laptop. Driver for Crucial C300 is nvstor64. My laptop boot windows very fast but after my laptop freeze about 70 seconds :(



    3. I decide reinstall windows 7 64 bit and use to set RAID for Crucial C300 : I only run stripped RAID for Crucial C300 and disable RAID for 500Gb Seagate Momentus XT. All thing intall smooth and windows 7 boot with total time : 37 seconds :mad:



    Please let me know I can run safely with only a stripped RAID for Crucial C300?

    How to boot windows faster ?



    My friends use SSD Intel and he boot windows 7 64 bit only 10 seconds :mad: (All progams install in windows and run in startup same to me) :mad:

    Suck Crucial C300
