SSD in the Laptop!

I finally decided to break down and get an SSD for my main, full-size laptop. I've been through the growing pains of an SSD over a year ago when I put on in my Acer AspireOne net boom and was really pleased.



So here's to an evening of performing a backup/restore and hopefully see some need disk bandwidth as the result.

sata-2 SSD raid 0 gives me up to 1Gig throughput... let me know what yours benchmarks out to!

Dude, pretty sick so far! Much better than the SSD performance (that I thought was good) on my netbook.
