Ok So I have now completed fitting my SSD drive. One thing people should note is that if your copy of windows was orignally installed on a HHD drive your bios will be set to IDE. So, with advice from samsung I edited the registry first in windows:

then I altered the setting in the bios to ACHI (Whatever that means)

I am no techy but...

I understand that SSD drives write there sectors in different ways to HHD drives and they need something called garbage collecting to be enabled and something called Trim. SSD drived dont have the same life expectency for rewrite processes so cenrtain backroom process can be a diservice to the longevity of the drive. You may wish to cherry pick from this list:

Overall I find everything definitely faster - in fact very fast on my older Core i7/12 gig 64. BIAB is very zippy

hope this helps.
