Thanks for posting. Even though I shouldn't have spent the money, I caved ;)

I have this drive and it performs great. Just be sure to install the latest firmware update from OCZ's website.

You can always install YSMenu on it to play the newer games. That's what I ended up doing for my original R4.

Just FYI: The model is an IdeaPad Y560

Great deal for decent media. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. Looking forward to upgrading my old Antec P160.

I say that if you are happy with what you have, why spend the money at all in the first place? I upgraded from an overclocked Q9450 @ 3.2 GHz to this combo because I do a lot of h.264 video encoding. My encoding speed increased nearly 40-50% with the i875 clocked at 4 Ghz (with SpeedStep...
