Sure. If by some chance I stop moving long enough to look back. Most
likely some shmuck that can't even spell SSD will inherit them when he
cleans out the abandoned home I leave behind.

Well, OK, but don't keep it a secret. How *does* one spell SSD?

Thanks in advance, I need the help :-)

About three hundred at a time.

I'm OK with a small degree of subtlety, but now you've gone way too far
:-)

Your tax advisor should have told you that, since you know how to do
arithmetic, you are exempt from paying that tax.

What tax? A capitol gains tax? I bet I pay more then Romney pays for
what he gains every year.

It that what a ruler pays for having a center of government?

And when I check my Win8 box (Intel SSD) the System Restore is
turned off by default.
So I check back on my Win7 box (OCZ-Vertex3) and that is also off
with a weird folder
icon for a 'missing C: drive'. The settings for this missing drive
are greyed out.

When I try to restore from an earlier time I've no restore points to
access.
I am sure I did not manually turn System Restore off ???

Yes all true! You heard about keeping the swapfile off of the SSD
too, right? And if that is all you got, then to turn the swapfile
off.


What do you mean , ' all true' ? Who disabled System Restore ?

Who disabled System Restore? I dunno, maybe the driver or something. Or
maybe Windows 7 does this for all SSD drives by default, I dunno. And it
has been over 2 years ago that I ran Windows 7 under an SSD. So I don't
recall what it did for System Restore.

System restore works on my Win 7 SSD-equipped machine.

Well, that's about how it went with me. I surely didn't get them all
at once. On an off week or so I might have slipped in a 128GB or the
Crucial Adrenaline but most are the 256GB versions. I even put one in
my Netbook. That one really needed something to bring it up to speed.

Very well. It still has XP but I gave it more ram so it is more than
I expected. The upgrade cost more then the original purchase but fits
nicely mounted on my right and can still fit someone in the passenger
seat. Does a great job as a 10" screen GPS with DeLorme Street Atlas
software installed.

That usually just means that you have SATA3 rather than SATA2.

Actually, I initially connected the SSD to a sata 3 port on my main
board and it either scored 7.3 or 7.5, not sure now. Then more recently
I bought a PCI SATA 6Gbs card and connected the SSD to that, and it is
because of that it scores 7.9
