80GB x25m and Windows 7 x64

[idata]

Hi Guys,

I'm about to purchase an Intel x25m 80gb SSD and install Win 7 x64, just wondered if there is anything SSD related that I need to do in advance or after the install to improve performance/stability, or am I simply good to go?

Thanks for your help!

Mine is on port 4 (ie. the 5th), but then I had to switch to IDE mode to flash. I don't know if being on port 0/1 or would have made a difference since I didn't try. On an older P35 motherboard only 4 out of 6 ports would boot (by design), so port choice would be quite important there.

I Have Answer For your Question,

Question: "Intel SSD X.25 M not detected on Intel board"

ANSWER:

First I want To Clarify the Following Thing.

The RAID CARD You Use Has the Following Technology called1."Storage Controller with SSD caching is built on the same Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) architecture" ? Unless your RAID CARD Has this Architecture it will not be Detected in the COMBINED SATA and SSD Drives State.I Ask You To View The Following Website Link For The Proof" http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/ssd-caching/entry/SAS-2405Q/"2.Then You want To use The SAME SIZE OF HARD DISK FOR THIS MIRRORING OR RAID OPERATION3. Windows 7 ULTIMATE 32 / 64 Bit Operating System must be Used For RAID Operations.4. If Your SSD is 2.5 inch then You Must use 3.5 Inch Converter if you use SATA Back Plane.5. You Use Any SAA BACK PLANE ? It must be used For HOTSWAP Operations , But This is Optional Only. Intel Manufactures The Product.Product Code : AXX6DRV3GEXP Proof: http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/general/config_guide_102207.pdf

The Reason For Your Problem is

1. NOT USING Raid Card With Storage Controller with SSD caching is built on the same Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) architecture

2. NOT USING SAME SIZE OF HARD DISK FOR THIS MIRRORING OR RAID OPERATIONS. 3. NOT USING Windows 7 ULTIMATE Version Operating System. When You Solve These Two Things Surely Your SSD Will be Accepted By Windows 7 Operating System. I am Very Sure Your SSD will work in this Solution. Because SSD uses Seperate Data Entry Algorithm.Thank you.
