    Hey all looking for some advice.. I just got my envy 14 and I did a clean install of win7 Ultimate. Nice and fast now.. I noticed how people like the Hybrid SSD momentus XT drive and I was going to get an SSD but Amazon has them for 99 bucks.. Thought I'd give it a try.. The question is since I just did a clean install when I get the XT and I clone this drive to it will it affect the performance of the drive at all.. I want all the benefits of it and dont want to mess with that.. If anyone has an opinion on this let me know..

    It shouldn't affect the performance of the XT. The XT moves files to its flash memory automatically, regardless of how the data gets on there.
