Newegg shell shocker has X25-80 2nd gen for $239

249 at http://www.capitolsupply.com/I...95300.csi?cid=cse_ggl4 Get em while they last

Can't believe that I was finally able to get 5 of the 80gig 2nd gen SSDs for prices varying from 225 to 250 with one to a customer limits from Newegg, Mwave and Puget. My wife and I were busy shoppers. Newegg and Mwave did not build their reps by overcharging but that is what they are now doing...

Hey demand must be dropping or supply increasing. They reduced price to 349 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820167016

Thanks. Daily backups on another raptor and remote backup with Mozy.

Agreed. I am not experienced enough to start an optimization/installation thread for the Intel SSDs but maybe some of our resident geniuses could do so. It would be a very valuable contribution to this forum.

Is the X25 the right SSD for a fileserver serving 3 client PCs in an office environment? Currently using a 74 gig Raptor with one partition for OS and the other for data. Will fit perfectly on the X25-M 80 gig.

My 80gig is only 7.7 score on Win7 Ultimate x86. Does size matter or is it the OS?

Fortuitously logged onto Newegg and tried to order 4 of the X-25M 80 drives. Limited to one. When they get them again can I order another or will they check my account? Now supposed to be available on 9/2. I was lucky to get the order I got. ZZF is now much cheaper but doesn't have any stock.

Thanks I will try these steps and see id they work. Not on a domain and probably don't have networking intstalled right for VM.

I have an Olympus program used by transcriptionists that was last updated in 2003. There is no newer version and it will not run in RTM 64bit. I got it working in XP mode but it is a program that requires access to the network file server for the dictation voice files. When I try to select the...

Thanks for all the info. So in simple steps: 1. Can I use Disk Management snap-in tool in Windows 7 to partition and format SSD wtih NTFS and set it active. 2. Restore backup image from my raptor to the SSD. Did not understand some of the other procedures mentioned such as sector...

Thanks for the response. The only reason that I am not doing is I would like to get these PCs in use asap and it will be probably a month before I can get some X25Ms. I am trying to figure out the downside of not doing fresh install. I have restored backup images on hard drives before that...

I am getting a few X-25M 2G at end of month. While I am waiting I am building some new Core I7 PCs. I am planning to install OS on a raptor drive on new PC using AHCI without the 100mb reserved partition. I plan on doing backup image of raptor and restoring on X-25M when I get them. Will this...

Decided to reinstall. Its cleaner anyway. This is a very fast drive.
