SSD in the 7811

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could stick an SSD drive into the 7811. I know the SSD uses SATA I and II but I haven't researched anything about SSD yet besides the fact that it has a fast seek time and there's no moving parts in it (hence the name, duh). I was thinking of putting the OS into it for faster booting, etc.

 

Yes you can - have a read of the last few pages of this thread. A fix has just been found for the OCZ stuttering problem and you can pick up a 128GB Core v1 from here for $195 at the min. Bargain if you ask me - mine's on its way

 

iv read a few reviews on newegg and they said it really isnt that much of a difference one guy said it was slower then his old hd the only benfif your going to gain is the hd will last for ever..... here read the reviews on that hd http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227345

 

DON'T get a OCZ Core v1. They're AWFUL drives. Performance is on par with a hard drive and power consumption is abysmal for an SSD. The only thing going for it is the quietness.

Wait until more companies echo Intel's tech - they've put every other SSD out there to shame with theirs.

 

Actually if the Steady State "fix" works as advertised, the the OCZ Core series are the one of the best buys on the market.

But if your wanting to wait the 256gb Samsung drive is right around the corner. Great speeds and actual storage worth having

 

The Samsung is rumoured to have a retail price over $800 - too much for storage.

Did you actually bother reading what I told you to read? Obviously not. The SteadyState fix has been proven to put the OCZ Core up there with the Samsung and Intel SSDs, sometimes providing even faster performance.
