Amazing how much a HD is a bottle neck. This thing screams now. Fun to install an OS on something that zips along so fast. Blackbart and Hemps 2

I have an i5 decent laptop so worth more than that.I will replace my others drives over time. Well worth to purchase a 250 GB for 87 before tax. Will make my other machines fly. Well worth the cost. Wait till my customer feels her old machine. She will flip how fast it is. Buying a new laptop it is worth getting something not to expensive and pulling the drive out replacing it with an ssd. The computer will be 10 times faster.

If you only have a maximum of 16 PCI-E lanes and you use a M.2 card in a 4x lane you only have 12x left for your video card. Let's say you have a 28 lanes with a 5820K with an M.2 you will have 24 lanes left. Depending on how many PCI-E lanes your CPU has the M.2 can effect your performance. Awards

Its very annoying to install win 7 on it. i did that and booting time is like 5 times slower than a usual SSD. That is just because i couldnt get the piggin win 7 on a GPT usb key. I may try again this week to reinstall it another way, but very frustrating. it works fine when booted, but not as fast as it should. Or i may install win 10 to get rid of that GPT/MBR partiton problem, who knows lol Awards
