Oh...I just realized that my laptop didn't come with a bracket for the second hard drive. I currently use an ASUS G53JW
On their website,

They sell a spare caddy for $22.50, AND it doesn't include screws. Total ripoff
Any creative...
I have a Plextor M5S which is pretty skinny. It bounces up and down inside the laptop, so a spacer might be what I need. I think it'll be better than a fitted cardboard in the long-run Lol.

2. Plextor M3
3. Crucial M4
For the Marvells or Samsungs, it's something like that. I don't think the average user notices much difference though
I chose the Plextor because it's a little better on power and I got a...
I'm trying to figure out which SSD will last me the longest without failing.
I've narrowed my choices down to the Samsung 830 128GB, or the Plextor M5S of M3.
I am also thinking about Kingston HyperX as well, but I heard that Sandforce drives are better off avoided.
I think Samsung uses its...
