Just got my first ssd vertex 2 120gb

[cosmo74]

It's been a little over a month since I Installed the new bios for the ssd I did have a start up problem yesterday but it was a minor one that was I was able to recover from. not sure if the ssd had anything to do with it. It might have been due to the batery running out. Thankfully I did not have with to do a clean instal windows was able to recover. I would have to say these new bio's are much better

Thanks for chiming in I've been realy bussy so have not been on the fourm as much but I still love it here
I'm not realy sure I lost the Os 2 times in the first month but since I updated both the ssd and notebook bios I made it past the one month mark I was reading on the asus message board that there seamed to be a problem with the note book book bios and certin platter and ssd drives that caused the os to hang after shut down and then you were not able to recover the os on start up and you had to do a reinstall but asus seamed to fix the problem I think my last start up error was due to the batery dieing out but the system was able to recover so no big deal
