Wow, you stole them! - I bought just one of those very same Seagate drives this past summer at Best Buy for about $75 (on sale)! :eek:
Hey TH, are you running Win10 on the Alienware laptop? ...and which software (driver) is used to setup the RAID 0 configuration?
:thumb:
Probably, but there is some question in my mind as to how much the SATA II interface (3Gb/s) will 'choke' the SSD.
Approximately how much faster should I expect the SSD to be compared to the original 1TB 7200 RPM HDD (on a SATA II interface)?
Ordered my very first SSD, a Samsung Evo 850, because it's replacing the HDD in my Samsung laptop, so I thought it might be more compatible than...
Brian, I fully understand where you are coming from - backup methods certainly are a matter of personal needs. While I always appreciate your...
As long as one has a proper backup plan I don't see how a dedicated data partition provides any benefit. Whereas with a single partition I don't...
Well, my failing 1TB HDD has been operating in UEFI mode ever since the laptop was new. Now that I'll be replacing it with a 500GB SSD is there...
Thanks Krusty - it will be a clean install on a new SSD. Happy new year!
One last question... Will the Win 10 DVD format my new SSD? ...or will I have to use a bootable partitioning utility to format the SSD before I...
Hey Papusan, very cool - thanks a lot! and to all... Happy New Year
Thanks Krusty. Do you believe W10's Defender is good enough protection for a user who does not visit the 'dark side' of the web?

Great; seems like replacing my HDD with an SSD is going to be pretty easy (at least from a hardware standpoint)!
Interesting feedback and (mostly) quite informative. I presume no changes in BIOS/UEFI (on my part) are necessary when switching over to an SSD?...
The HDD in my 2013 Samsung laptop is dying. I've been experiencing CRC errors for a while so I just ran a few HDD diagnostic utilities, all of...
I did notice those requirements Krusty. That's one of the reasons I suggested the possibility that the update method may account for the...
Hmm, getting mixed signals here! Could it be that whether or not Win 8.0 -> Win 10 is doable depends on HOW one attempts to update (i.e., via MS...
Thanks... Btw, is Baidu and the DU Group one and the same (I can't find Baidu Mobil Security on Google Play)?
I really don't understand the above statement - would you please elaborate?
My iPhone 5s was a gonner so I decided to change-up and get a Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android Marshmalllow). Is it advisable to install an antivirus or...
So I can't pick and choose Win 10 updates? ...I sure don't like that. o_O I much prefer more control of my OS, so I guess that means Win 8.1 for...
Yes, I was aware of that... Thanks
Sounds good to me Brian... I just hope it works to upgrade Windows 8.0 to 10. Btw, does that Win10 iso the latest version?
