Hi

As far as I know there are no issues with it. I haven't seen anyone complaining on the forum.

You will have to let us know if they really are as fast as they are supposed to be.

I  take it that you are going to install Windows7 64 bit ?

If so I would suggest making the controller mode AHCI and enabling Native IDE. You want to put your SSD and another hard drive if you planning to use one on the SATA3 ports the optical drive you can put on the SATA2 port as it won't make any difference. You may even want to set that controller to IDE especially if your dVD drive is a little older.

When in windows if you have 8 GB or more of memory you can safely disable the swapfile, if you have less memory then move it to another drive.

Disable defragmentation of the SSD.

Windows 7 will automatically enable TRIM so no worries there.
