120gb SSD for £60? Yes please

[Alexander Lee]

that has prompted me to buy one as well, so it looks like a fresh install for me this week. Not done that in ages any top tips for SSDs?

AHCI mode and dont do a defrag

Just interested, what's AHCI mode? Seen it in the bios but not sure what it is. Enlighten me

You have the option of IDE or AHCI in the bios and AHCI is used for SSDs in order to get the best performance from the drive.

On a more technical note, I am unsure. However I believe it is how the OS talks (if you will) to the SSD.

This might help to explain it a little bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface

Got these drives, great performers - 1 personal gripe. The SATA connections don't allow the clip action, the cables can slip on and off too easily.

Not a big deal to some maybe.

Back up to over £100.

Bah !

They will probably be down again next week or another retailer will have a deal on a different SSD, seems to be the trend lately with SSDs.
