Hi, I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro from 2010 with a SATA optical drive. I've been meaning to upgrade it to SSD for a while, and I want to pull the trigger now since NewEgg has them on special. I used the crucial.com Mac System Scanner to find a compatible drive, and it gave me ...

In Windows 7, you could always choose to where things download. With Windows 8 though, when using the start menu programs such as the new ''store'', it does not let you. When you install something, it just installs, you click install and that is it. Nothing more. It just downloads to the C drive except I want it to download to the F drive. Does ...

I built my pc a week ago and was able to get windows 7 ultimate for it pretty cheap a few days later, when I first installed it crashed  at 87% when expanding files. It restarted and I could only re install windows, so I did and it crashed a little bit farther down the line. I then formatted the drive through the ...

Hello, I currently own an eMachines EL1352-51 and would like to add a cheap SSD (click here) that I can install linux on. Will this SSD and computer work together?

Hi  I have a solid state drive and two hardrives. I have petioned the ssd and put the operations system on it. I want to combine the rest of the solid state and one of the hard drives into one hardrive. Is there any software that does this but also puts files I use more often on on the ssd (in the background or let's me choose). I want use ...

Hi everyone, I need some suggestions on the best way to re-imaging a two year old 90 GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD that I use a boot drive. As of yesterday, my PC locked up prompting me to do a hard restart which the SSD never recover from (unable to boot into Windows) and after a bunch of test I narrowed it down to either the SSD going bad (Crystaldiskinfo ...

First of all, I'm still newbish and I don't know how to add an HDD to my current system. I purchased this HDD and I currently am running my OS and other programs off of my 120gb SSD. I thought to install another drive all you needed was to plug it in but it won't show up on my motherboard UEFI BIOS screen under the boot priority list. It does show ...

I have a Crucial M4 128gb SSD.  My motherboard is a Asus Maximus III Formula. So, I've had a RAID10 setup for over a year now between four 1.5TB Hitachi HDDs (absolutely amazing performance from them all btw). and have been running my OS from off the SSD.  I install all of my software on the SSD, only using the RAID drives for storage ...

Hello everyone,I'm looking for a laptop with a second hard drive bay so I can install an SSD, but newegg doesn't list the number of hard drive bays.  Does anyone have advice?  Specifically, I'm looking for a 17-inch laptop.  I found a 17-inch over the summer that reviews mention has a second HD bay, but I can't imagine it's the only ...

Is it wise to have a very small SSD with ONLY Windows on it? I'm building my first PC, and I'm curious about storage. I'd like to avoid cluttering programs and files, so capacity is really just for games and some basic programs like Rhapsody and Chrome. Point is, I don't need a ton of storage, but I want the absolute cleanest and fastest solution ...

I am curious if there are any down sides to having two 128GB SSDs instead of 1 256GB SSD. Any advantages aside from the fact that if one goes bad I still have the other? 

I'm building a gaming computer for the first time.  I was wondering if an SSD is really that necessary for putting the OS on?  Am I going to regret not putting the OS on the SSD or can I add it later?
