Yes it can be used like a standard hd, you need special brackets though, dirt cheap to.

I say yes if it means a 80% performance increase over standard drives, that sold me alone.

sweet, although i gotta say, 1.5tb for that price is a pretty good deal, but i dont think 500gb will kill be before i can get a second drive, who knows maybe by next summer, they will have a 1tb hybrid drive. or more gb of SSD cashing.

I booted win7 up for the first time on the drive, and WOOw its extremely fast for a 7200rpm drive

sweet, good to hear, im still really hoping i can build my pc!

[Thor.]

AWWWESOOME, i clocked my start times around 5 seconds, thats right no joke, i was almost shocked on how fast this drive is. I mean WOOW. I can't wait to see how quick Crysis runs on it. Not to mention the noise level went down a few octives and its quite, quite enough i could sleep next to it no problem.

I am very please with this drive so far.

I never realized how noisy that pci hd was.

I'm mentioning this again cause that last comment was on a fresh install with nothing installed on it.
