    I thought I would post this experience since Anandtech review praised so highly the Intel SSD for not exhibiting any problems similar to generic SSDs.

    I experienced freezes in the past few days with Intel SSD on my system. It didn't happen often but when it happens it's surely annoying.

    In my case, when I was typing out my email using Outlook 2007 with Internet Explorer 7 on. My computer would all a sudden froze with an hour glass on the screen. Nothing operable except for the mouse. OMG at first you would freak out because you thought you would lose your email you just typed. The harddrive light indicator was also flashing brightly heavily. You wouldn't be able to do anything anymore with your computer for about 5 minutes and finally everything would return back to normal.

    It's very annoying though. Currently, I already turned off prefetch and superfetch features within Vista as being recommended on

    I hope this problem resolves. Surely there is a problem with Outlook 2007 and SSD because I have seen my Outlook 2007 crashed(Non responding) few times in a day because when I re-opened my outlook, it would warn me that outlook was not closed properly and it would then undergo Data file check in progress with lower right corner little gear symbols.

    Other than that, I haven't encountered any other problems(Finger crossed). Doing IM conversation has also been flawlessly. No stuttering no lagging.

    LoL. This is the "old" SSD thread. It has been acknowledged to be an Outlook problem (I believe in the new SSD thread).

    Just bought a Dell Latitude D600 from Bank Auction. The hard drive has been removed. I have one on order. Would like to install myself. Please help me with the details of performing this operation. The laptop had Windows XP Professional on it. Will I have to reinstall this program after I replace the hard drive?

    I have no clue if I am in the proper area of NBR. If ANYONE can help me with these issues it would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me your help.
    Thank you; Respectfully, hovey66

    Post in a new thread. You're in the right subforum. There are many people here who are as knowledgeable as myself, if not even more than me. Hard drive installations are pretty simple, just look on the Dell site for the manual to see how to install one in your D600...

    Continue discussion in the new SSD thread or as mentioned, make a new thread if your question is unrelated.
