dang - I think this is the SSD I've been waiting on. 15 seconds to boot??? Really??? I have 3 SSD's and love them all. This one is going to make my new Dell Inspiron 17r i5 scream a little. TU on this one. Thanks - can't wait to try and get one of these.

Quote from Discombobulated : [...] *Note: This is a notebook upgrade kit [...]

That is what the description says... seems to be desktop upgrade kit pictured. (usually that means picture is wrong)

Woops, didn't see the not active until 6/11 part. I am seriously thinking about grabbing this..
I've only bought the bare SSD's from Samsung in the past, but now I'm thinking that having a usb to sata could be handy. I have so many SSD's (ordering this will make it 6 or 7) and need to install some into laptops. Doing a clean install of an Operating System is pretty easy, but the upgrading process takes a long time and can be a pain. So can transferring over all the files. Before, I thought it was a much better deal to get the bare drive for about $30 less, and it was for me, since I was installing into a desktop with mulitple SATA connections, so I didn't need to hook the drive up via USB.
Now that I need to do so in two macbooks and a windows laptop- I think it's worth going for this upgrade kit. You can find cheap USB>Sata adapters online, but they have a TON of reviews about getting very hot...bursting into flames...frying drives...very bad, expensive and dangerous stuff- not to mention most of them require their own external power supply and probably have shi(f)tty quality control standards. So the cheapest quality adapter I can find (one of the ONLY quality adapters I can find) is Apricorn Drive Upgrade kit [amazon.com] $14 after $5 MIR. That includes the adapter and software (which I would probably use over Norton ghost, as I just do not like the Norton company and find all their software to be too invasive) so that is smaller than the $30 difference I usually see between the upgrade kits and solo drives, but you also get a 9.5mm drive spacer, which is important to keep your stuff from bouncing around maybe.
When you include the game download that could either be used or sold, I think this is a solid slickdeal (maybe not as much as the bare drive+$15 upgrade kit if you really want the best deal- assuming the bare drive will be on sale for $90). Thanks for the post.


FYI, since my bare drive didn't come with Norton- I used Macrium Reflect free version to clone my drive in my desktop because I could connect both drives via SATA. That worked.. the only problem was I couldn't boot from the cloned drive at first, I had to put in my windows 7 disk and select repair installation, it took about 1 minute to repair some startup error and then it was working great.

How much can I get for Ghost Recon: Future Solider on eBay?
