Just got the Vaio up and running with the ssd. Photobucket works at lightspeed hehe...think I will order a 256GB Samsung for the Qosmio. Cold boots to desktop in 20 seconds and shuts down in 3 seconds.

Based on what I have seen thus far I'm ready to open up the Toshiba. I have another 60GB OCZ ssd sitting here...think that will do no more than I use this laptop for? Still can't believe how fast I can browse thru my Photobucket albums haha!

Hell, I'm going to throw one in the netbook just for giggles!

Hmm...ssd shows up in bios, but not shown in Windows install screen with the Toshiba. Bad ssd you think?

EDIT: Yep...bad ssd. Swapped the one in the Vaio and proceeding with OS install now. I'll put a 30GB back in the Vaio.

This one is just an old one that was lying on the bench forever...no updates or tweaks whatsoever. Just about finished with the OS install. I put the full Toshiba spread on it for now...I'm sure it will be full of bloatware, but will give me an idea if I want to pursue this. Maybe later buy a larger Samsung and swap to another OS.
