SSD Drive Project

As of yet I am holding out on buying an SSD but I don't know how much longer I can hang on. So far the price/size issue has held me at bay but one of these days I will cave and my impulse buying will get the best of me. So I am starting to gather information.

Ed Bott has some basic info here on step by step install.
Sandforce seems to be a big deal so look for it.
Moving the profile to another drive is wise. (It would seem one would want some programs on the ssd so they load faster) Why move? To preserve space (among other things) on the smaller SSD drive.

One problem I have is my first install will be on an envida chipset and they do not play well together. Using the drivers from Microsoft is probably the answer.

Still holding out. Prices are below $2 per GB but I want it closer to $1, then I will get 120GB.

Curl, Wget, Winget & Powershell Install or Download Commands

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
