    Has anybody swapped the HD out in the M11X R2? Is has that little SATA connector that you put in the HD before you lay it down in the computer. Would that impact speeds at all? I was curious because I moved a SSD from one computer to this one and my avg speeds dropped from about 200MB/sec to 150MB/sec on HDTUNE. The only thing I did with the SSD was delete and recreate the partition with the Windows 7 Installer.

    Different system altogether with CPU, Chipset and Memory? That could explain.
