Hi to all - m6500 ssd Q,s

[Buttercream]

Hi all.

All new terain for me but here goes.

I DJ with my precision m6500, do some video editing (have CS5 but prefer studio 15) but mainly looking to record music with either Cubase or Pro tools - haven't decided yet.

I have been aware of the SSD revolution but only from afar, until now. I'm looking for a Msata (mini?) SSD to run windows 7 - i7 etc. The computer has "3" slots for drives but one is a mini SSD slot I believe. Well. Being a subscriber to this site via email I've noticed read/write speeds have gone up considerably, so I'm glad I waited and didn't buy a samsung one a while back.

I've had a look through the site but was wondering whether you can enlighten me as to whats what in the market these days?

My budget isen't hugh but I'm interested in buying a decent card so who better to ask.

by card, i assume you mean a MSATA drive? Les is the man for that, he is the MSATA pro!

Computurd, Darcy.

Noticed Bill knocks about here and there. The Bill!

Anywho. Been looking at the Intel 310 as a possible drive but have a feeling Dell might have something to say about that. Why don't they list drives like the 310 on there website for sale. I read somewhere they were having trouble with there choice for the MiniSata for the Precision, a Samsung unit I believe! Who knows what the situation is, contractual?

I must say, if I have anything to say of meaning, it would be "WOW" what a step forward in development SSD really is. My 5 year old Precision can bang along faster than the latest variation. Great site. Very slick.

Anyway thanks for the pleasant greetings.

From a very nice man.
