Gotta say my Sandisk 240gb SSD is f**king phenominal.

Only takes a few seconds and I'm already bashing in my password, couple seconds later it's fully loaded the desktop.

It's a fresh install with a whole heap of re-installations of all my applications... So I'm yet to trim all the shitty background processes, applications and the boot process so it'll be even snappier once that's done. Even with 3 games, O/S and all my software loaded I've still got roughtly 150GB left. It'll be down to 100GB once i put Skyrim & a couple other games on but by the gods it's impressive over my RAID0 mech drive array (which in its own rights was very impressive).

I'll definatly take a mirror of it once it the O/S is all trimmed down so I can buzz it whenever i want.

Boot speed isn't even the best part!

I just love how with an SSD pretty much everything I do happens at an instant. Open Outlook, BAM! Open a browser, BAM! New tab, BAM! Games load so much faster. Battlefield 3 is a great example. You're into a game within 20 seconds.

There is a group of people who knock SSDs cause "why do I care if my machine boots 20 seconds faster?" but that's not telling the whole story. PCs with SSDs just do everything almost instantly.

I love my SSDs *cuddle*

and quieter also :D

My WD Blacks are quiet as? I can't hear them at all inside the case - cant really complain there. Plus the fans drown anything else out easily enough.

I have 4 drives in my case, and 4-5 drives in my server, no noise :)

Yeah true and a gfx card fan noise will cover any other ambient noise

I will be putting my old 60gb SSD into a 10" Dell inspirion mini so will be good to see how well it works on mini PC's with Atom processors

I just put a cheapo OCZ Octane into my 6-7 year old Asus duo core. It's transformed it! Thing bloody flies now.

I don't have MS Orifice on my home PC. Got a work lappie & work PC that i can use that for... Although I might install word/excel only in the near future.

My 64GB used consists of:

Windows 7 64 Bit SP1 (fully updated now).

Firefox & Chrome Browsers

Starcraft 2

Battlefield 3

Nvidia GPU & ASUS sound card software

Steam (no games yet)

ASUS/Intel mobo suite/apps and full drivers etc

There is other miscellaneous shit like Fraps, Logitech mouse/keyboard software, uTorrent etc but it's all relatively tiny.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
