wanna see my snake?
I have a nice shiny Crucial M4 sat at home, and I'm going to install windows 7 professional on it. Anything I should be aware of? I know I need to swap the BIOS to AHCI, but is that it?

UNlimited means unlimited mate - but even with virgin media's fastest upload speed I should imagine 4.5TB would take quite a while to uploadtek-monkey said:Mate, you wouldn't want my backup! My server is at 4.5Tb and counting, all legit images of OS's obviously and no pirated TV series whatsoever. Although I may be interested in the backup for my GF, does it have the ability to synch across computers? Would be nice for her to be able to photograph stuff at work and easily access it at home.
Due to the cost of these things, most people install their operating system and "memory intensive" applications to the SSD, and have a slave hard drive (regular type) for document storage and less important / rarely opened stuff.citricsquid said:I have a 240GB Vertex 2 SSD in my pc and it's nice. Thing about SSDs though is I constantly run out of space, programs nowadays are becoming more and more space hungry so I have to make a point of shifting files over to my storage drives every now and again. May need to upgrade to an even bigger SSD soon, if they exist.
Yeah, that's what I do:wmrcomputers said:Due to the cost of these things, most people install their operating system and "memory intensive" applications to the SSD, and have a slave hard drive (regular type) for document storage and less important / rarely opened stuff.citricsquid said:I have a 240GB Vertex 2 SSD in my pc and it's nice.

For example, why store a 1gb movie on expensive ssd, when it play's just the same from a slaved 40 or 50 quid hard drive.
Agred, I was lucky, when I bought my Laptop I hadn't realised that it had space for two internal drives. This has allowed me to have the 240gb Vertex II wight just the OS and dropbox on and a seperate Hybrid Drive for the second drive, this is a normal Platter drive combined with a small SSD. So the platter is 500Gbyte and the SSD is 16Gigabytes (IIRC). The drive is mart enough to move regularly used files to the SSD portion. So for commonly used files they access much quicker than rarely used files.wmrcomputers said:Due to the cost of these things, most people install their operating system and "memory intensive" applications to the SSD, and have a slave hard drive (regular type) for document storage and less important / rarely opened stuff.citricsquid said:I have a 240GB Vertex 2 SSD in my pc and it's nice.
