Anybody have experience with the drive? Its 70 buck at the egg right now and I may pick one up and throw it in the optical drive...is 60 gigs big enough? I only need it to hold windows and my browser/wood proccesor/ other neccesities.
Any ideas?

I believe the optical drive is only a 1.5gbps so a 6gbps drive is really going to be a bit of a waste. Plus you are not going to want to install your OS on your secondary drive...
I would put the OCZ you mention in the primary drive and then move your mechanical drive to the secondary slot. -
Alright
sorry thats what I was planning to do, forgot to mention it.
I meant that i would put the ssd in the hd bay, and the 500gb hd in the optical.
anyway...any experience>? -
My experience: Right after format of my 120Gig drive I had 111Gigs available.
Your 60 Gigs is enough. I mean would be enough for me.
I use 47 Gigs (Win7SP1+COD MW3+BF3+Dark Horizon+all other applications I need). Now I have 64 Gigs free. -
Alright thanks.
any experiences with the sata2/sata3 thing? is it performing at which speed (include if you have them please)
I was hearing this drive has bad write speeds. -
SATA 3 speeds, but not without some tweaking. This works for me.

However, I think 60 Gig (V3) drive performs slower. In benchmarks yes, in real life no.Attached Files:

Dude I'm having same if not similar problem with Vertex 3 as well. During the installation of windows 7 is fine, but after I installed windows 7 the restart for the first use took forever to load and during this time the fan was going berserk. So I decided to turn the power off and load it again. Same problem, then again this time it took a shorter time to load and I got in windows. However, the next restart after I installed a driver the same problem happened again, and I can never get back in windows now, always stuck.
Should I contact OCZ about this problem? Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks -
