I usually go right to here www.dvnation.com The people over there are outstanding, and very helpful. Jason over there is one cool guy !

I plugged 1 SSD in my work machine and installed Vista Enterprise on it to just get a feel of how it will perform. Clearly my work machine is not clean by any means.

So it installed as a dual boot setup. Boot time was about 20 seconds and I believe the problem is the dual boot setup. My main C: drive is 2x Raptors in Raid 0 so you can still see a fair amount of HD access

But it was enough to see what these can do. The loading bar on the Vista Startup screen goes around 7 times on a normal boot. With the SSD and even in a dual boot setup went almost 1 time accross the screen. The machine is very, very zippy running on the SSD. But I have no apps and just a fully updated Vista with Nvidia drivers installed on it atm.

Looking at the Raid card I have 4 Multi Lance connections. Each Multi Lance connector has 4 SATA plugs coming out plus 1 Sideband Cable, I believe I will not need the Sideband connection.

I am thinking now that I should have gone for the 16GB SSD's as it would have been cheaper for the full 8 SSD setup. But at the time I was only planning on 1 SSD so I went with 1 32GB. A full Raid of 8 of those would be a bit costly Ha ! But I will most likely end up with 4.

That will leave 2 Multi Lance connectors with nothing to do.
