    Just bought one of these[^]. About to install it in my desktop PC and reinstall the OS. I will post again in about an hour or so (hopefully) and let you know how it goes...

    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

      Nice. I have 3 128GB SSD's on my system (don't ask how that happened.) Once you discover the speed of SSD (Windows is up and running in about 2 seconds once the OS boot process starts) you will never go back to spinny, mechanical drives! Marc

            Nice. I just got a pair of the exact same a few months ago ($230 Canadian, so roughly the same price given the currency exchange rate). I'm using them to host the development VMs I use all the time--it sure is nice to reboot and be back at the login prompt in under 10 seconds, rather than minutes (some of these VMs are rather heavy and preload a lot of crap)

              It's like going from B&W to color.

              New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

                    I'm thinking about getting one, but am not sure I have install discs for all the junk on my computer. I might just dual boot for a while until I'm sure or just wait until Windows 10. I need a new, better ventilated, case too, so....

                        Windows 8.1 and 10 (64 bit) require more CPU features than Windows 8 and below. See here[^] to get the Windows Upgrade Assistant. Also use Sysinternal's coreinfo to see if your processor has the capabilities necessary... It turns out that I need a different processor to do my upgrade since I also wanted to upgrade to 64 bit Windows 8.1. Now, I've got an excuse... :-D

                          CPU-Wise, I am two steps back from bleeding edge (Ivy Bridge i7 vs. Haswell and Broadwell.) I'm tempted to splurge and build a brand new "well" system this summer as in Broadwell and Maxwell. Crucial needs to rename their drive Speedwell and I'm sold!
