Just like a normal hard drive ?
How about making a partition ,is it advised as i have read that it can cause a big performance drop ?

At the moment i have 2 x 1tb f3 in raid . I wanted to put os and programs on diffrent partitions .

When installing the ssd i will obviously have a data drive

Right windows installed in 15mins . System is rebooting in under 25 seconds . Just about to start the tedious task of installing drivers,apps,windows updates etc etc

But so far so good
