I decided to join the cool kids and purchase an SSD. An opportunity appears and I decided to take advantage of it. I did a little bit of research and decided to get the Intel X25-M. There are an assortment of 128GB drives available but the little extra to get the 160GB seemed to be worth it.
I must say that I’m really impressed with the speed of the drive but my favorite “feature” is the sound level. There is no noise and I really like that.
Now, the downside to a new driver is installing all the software that you accumulate over the years. It’s amazing. Here’s the list of everything that I just installed:
- AVG
- Ascendo DataVault
- Foxit
- Office 2010
- Outlook Connector
- Office Communicator
- SharedView
- Silverlight 4
- PersonalBrain
- Quicken
- Blackberry Desktop Manager
- blu
- VMWare Workstation
- Windows Home Server Connector
- Windows IM
- Windows Live Writer
- Zune
- Live Meeting
- Hyper-V Manager
- Adobe Digital Edition
- ImgBurn
- Intel SSD Tools
- All the necessary drivers
Yes, there are no development tools in the list. I do all of my development in VMs. It really simplifies things.
