Let's put it this way.. technically, the way they work is totally different.

To the mainboard/CPU, it is just a storage device and makes no difference to them (some H/W or OS may apply optimised settings for SSD or HDD thou, like defrag etc..). or, in very over simplified term, the CPU doesn't know whether it is SSD or HDD, to them, it is a storage device. period.

That means if I can survive within 120gb, I can simply install an ssd and make use of ext hdds, yea?

Set to AHCI mode in BIOS before doing your Windows 7 installation. Turn off disk defrag after you finish installing Windows.

Hi,

I am using the OCZ Synapse Cache 128 GB SSD.

I encountered the following message when trying to install the "Dataplex" programme:

"No qualified SSD cache detected"

Has anyone encounter this before?

Thanks!

What happen if i never set to ACHI mode and simply install my OS to my SSD and set it as boot drive?

 

[Luffy Pirate King]

Btw, any helpful bros can help me out? What to do next after installing my OS into the ssd? Any tweaks or settings? I disable defrag liao after reading the previous replies. Whats next?
