Is Macrium Reflect FREE Edition suitable for backing up and restoring M4 ?

Last time I use ATIH 2011 to restore my G.Skill SSD, it will give me BSOD or hang.

I use USB stick and clonezilla/gparted

Erm, I meant backup not cloning from HDD to SSD.

If it is for backup, do you have a guide for it?

Thanks!

vertex 3 and agility 3. which is better? or stable?

need some advise.

Vertex 3 is faster, using Synchronous NAND
Agility 3 is using Asynchronous NAND (cheaper and slightly slower)
Most people will not notice the diff in speed between this two SSDs
Both are stable

Prices of SSDs is dropping

Advice on Strontium SSD

Can someone please advice on the Gamma and Python SSD's from Strontium. I have been following them for some time and need some opinion on the product from you guys. Can someone please help. I have tried their memory modules and so far its giving me good results. But never tried the SSD. I have read in forums here people not sure on their SSD's. Can someone help me?
