No need to bump this thread anymore. I ended up returning it and keeping my velociraptor. I am much happier now. But thanks to everyone that posted!
So I just received my new Intel X25-M drive yesterday. I was moving from a 300gig velociraptor. I enabled AHCI and I also have the latest firmware. But I must say I am not all that impressed. I am thinking about returning it. First off I thought when you loaded windows 7 I thought that it was suppose to disable things like superfetch, defragmenter, etc. automatically? All of my stuff was still enabled though. I looked this up online and alot of people have this problem. I mean the startup is alot faster but not that much faster than my velociraptor. I have used about 50% of it up just by loadind my OS, PS, and BF2. I sometimes reload my OS quite a bit to test stuff with and if I continue to do this I will probably wear it out quite fast. I do enjoy the no noise and the faster boot up speeds, but I don't know if it was worth the money. Am I missing something here? Should I keep it or just return it?
