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.

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
