Corsair Performance 3 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-P3128GB2-BRKT

Pros: This drive hauls the mail! Single P3-128 ATTO bench: 219 M/s max write - 431 M/s max read.

Cons: Kinda expensive, but (insert old timey financial advice).

Overall Review: Make sure your drive is properly formatted, aligned, and AHCI is enabled in BIOS before installing OS.

works with Windows 7 64bit

HighPoint RocketRAID 1720 PCI SATA II (3.0Gb/s) RAID Controller Card
HighPoint RocketRAID 1720 PCI SATA II (3.0Gb/s) RAID Controller Card

Pros: Despite what other reviews say, this card does work with Windows 7 64bit. Got the correct drivers from HighPoint's website as well as ver. 1.1 BIOS. Building a RAID 1 array was easy from the BIOS console and windows picked it up right away. Loaded my data back on to the array from my offline backup disk and away she went. Great little hardware-based RAID card.

Cons: none so far.

Speedy
