Ordered my SSD, but need help

David-Stephens · 24 Oct 2009 at 22:40

Ive made a bit of an error and read that the Crucial 128gb would be in stock tommorow on thursday night, so i ordered one, i realise now this was the 64gb so i need 2 bits of advise from the largely friendly OCers forums

1: Is it possible for me to cancel this order and place an order for the 64gb now
2: Would people recomend that just hold out for the 128gb SSD

I plan to install my new Win 7 on the SSD and then thats about it, im a bit of a benchmark guy and regardless of how much i use my pc i want it to be tip top all the time, might put my games on there but whats the advice from you guys

Cancel and leave it for a month until firmware sorted is my view!!!!!!!!!

i have a 64g crucial, have win7 various related apps like office norton etc on it plus op flashpoint and still have about 35g spare -

win7 64bit takes about 20g, 32 takes about 15 apparently.

I just use the ssd for the o/s and a game or two that i'll play a lot. i doubt it'd be too much of an issue, just get a standard h/d for the rest of your jazz like music pics etc.

unless you wanna ***** a load more £££ on a larger ssd, but i guess that's really upto u

The 64gb M225 uses slightly slower NAND chips than the 128gb M225.
