OCZ ended their RAM business and I was in need of RMA for memory, but now they only do storage. So when I say long term support, I mean bigger company enlists confidence in their support service.

My 840 is doing great. I just got my machine running last night so I haven't had a chance to do bench-marking yet, but it sure does boot fast! At first files were copying at pretty typical speeds, then I realized windows defender was in "real-time protection" mode. Disabled that and boy did it get fast! After a bios update to get it to boot correctly, I did end up getting it to install windows and boot just fine in AHCI mode. ChknFngr, Dark Asylumn and iboomboom 3

It's just how they do the NANDS on them and they type they use. The Pro series is better. Even the 840Pro was better vs. 840 Evo (much newer) but they left some features and tuning off 840 pro they could have added via FW they recently made to not undercut themselves. Now with the 850's out those are better of course. That said any PCI-e SSD CARDS will blow away "drives" speed wise generally as the interface no longer has a bottleneck, just the flash chips do. The problem right now is all these SSD drives are similar in speed because the SATA ports are maxed out on speed basically. ChknFngr 1 Awards

I'm pretty sure it can be done with windows... I would do some reading up on that. I personally have never installed programs onto another drive/partition that wasn't my primary. Typically I just put large data onto other drives. (videos, music, etc) Most likely you just need to modify (add to) your OS environment variables or something simple like that.

It just grows and grows. lol You could have a real mess on your hands if you were to pull everything in from an old os install.
