Hey guys,
Thinking to buy an SSD, but there are some questions which I need to be answered as I dont know much about these components at all.
Anyway I'm thinking to buy the OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD. I just need to know a few quick questions, do I have to make a fresh install of windows or do you just plug and play and update it?
I currently have the Samsung Spin-point F3 1TB HDD SATA-II.
This is mainly where I start getting confused, I do not have a clue what it means by IDE. AHCI, and raid stuff, as I will have a HDD and an SSD do I need to do anything in the BIOS for the SSD to function?
After reading some Info about SSD's It seems that the Crucial M4 seems to be better, does anyone recommend another SSD which is better than any of these?
Thank you for reading
Stefan
