    I have ordered a M860Tu from Overclockers Uk

    Spec
    Awaiting Overclockers Ultima Mobile (Clevo M860Tu)
    P8600 2.4Ghz, 4Gb, 64 Gb OCZ SSD, 9800GTS 512mb, Vista 64bit

    Has anyone got a system with a OCZ SSD and how does it perform

    I am now wondering have I made a mistake with my order (in respect of the SSD)

    My Concerns are

    1.AHCI has to be enabled in order to use E-Sata according to the manual (M860Tu)
    2. OCZ specifically advise to disable AHCI, therefore seems to be a tos up between having an OCZ SSD and no E-Sata or 7200 HDD and E-Sata

    All opinions welcome. :confused:

    The OCZ Core v1 SSD doesn't seem to have the best of reviews. I would advise against that SSD, and use something (if available) for the time being until intel releases their SSDs and/or OCZ releases their V2 SSDs.
