Hi All,
I've just purchased my first SSD Drive - a 30GB OCZ Vertex. I plan on installing Windows 7 RC because i here it's the best OS for SSD. However, i've read a huge amount about things which are confusing me so i was hoping that somebody could help me out :
1) I've heard that when you update the firmware, you need to reinstall everything on the disk. Is this correct ?
2) A lot of people go on about allignment etc. What are they talking about, how do i do it and is it necessary for all OS's ?
3) What does TRIM do and where do i get it from ?
4) I presume i'll also need to buy a 2.5" mounting bracket or something (i've got a cooler master cosmos s case). Which one do ppl recommend ?
Thats all for now
Thank you for your patience !!!
