    Just finished backing up my R1, now going to install the new drive. BTW, this SSD was my last employee accomodation from Intel for working at bby. (Well, this and the i7 2600k).

    Wow, this is fast. WEI is now a 6.8 with my GTX260 being lowest :) SSD is 7.7. This thing boots super quick. So far turned off Superfetch, Indexing, Shadow Copy and Defrag.

    That is a sweet score you got there. I would like to know how good my R2 will be if I upgrade to it in the future.
