SSD Install
Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 1:06PM Last weekend I had installed my newly purchased Intel 330 Series 120GG SSD which cost $110 from Newegg.ca. Here is a picture of the drive unopened in box.;)
Here is the drive in opened box.;)
This is what all comes in box!
When I was putting the drive in the case I had to figure out how the adapter plate and the screws work on my case, which in the end was pretty slick. In the process of putting the drive in case I took the front case fan out and blew the dust out. There was alot of dust on that fan. Here is a picture of drive in the PC.;)
I installed a clean copy of Windows 7 on this drive. Installation was pretty quick, took no time before I could use Windows again. I backed my other spinning hard drive and formated it. I setup that drive as extra storage for like music and videos. Here is what it looked like when I was installing the new clean OS.
;)
Here is a video of how fast the SSD boots from the login screen.

Nice. I just did this same upgrade. 180GB Intel SSD and a 3TB Seagate HDD to replace two old 250GB HDDs with Windows 7 Ultimate during Memory Express' Black Friday sale. Love how fast things like Photoshop or Visual Studio load.
I also love how fast programs load especially games too. I was quite pleased after I got this upgrade done and seeing the result.
Thanks for the comment Craig!
