Crucial 128 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s CT128M4SSD2

This was easy to install, it did speed things up regarding start up, but not as much as I expected, but not sure if I have everything set correctly, I am a casual user. Where I did notice super speed was using DVD FAB, a ripping software. Before I would get a rate of 160-180 FPS, now I am getting 384 FPS, fantastic. My i7 processor used to never go above 20% on the CPU meter, now it screams, I even hear the CPU fan meaning it is finally being given enough info to actually do some quick work. I would buy this again!

I was running a SATA 3 7200 RPM Barracuda drive. I installed this M4 Drive into an ICY DOCK 2.5 to 3.5 Converter box pn: MB882SP-1S-2B so that I could use my hot swap drive bay on my desktop. Now that I have installed the Crucial M4 SSD drive, when I run the Passmark Performance 7.0 benchmark, this drive is about 4 or 5 times faster in all categories. My desktop boots up and shuts down much quicker, and programs launch very fast. I found a forum online with instructions to turn off prefetch and superfetch in the registry for Windows 7 as this should be disabled for this drive, as it is not needed. These are the drives of the future. I would have preferred to have a 3.5 size drive to begin with, but the ICY DOCK Converter works fine. The only downside to SSD drives are the price, but this one is the most affordable I could find in this size.
