An ideal use for this small SSD is as a booster drive for motherboards supporting Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and especially for SATA III-6GB/sec ports. The OCZ 60 GB works great in this capacity.Intel had with a brilliant idea: Use an SSD as an automatic high capacity cache for an associated hard drive, thereby boosting system performance, especially at boot time and when loading frequently used applications. I just built a system based on the ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Motherboard, and it wasn't until I was re-reviewing the MB documentation I ran across the info about Rapid Storage.So, the provisos: If you're installing a new system from scratch, remember to set the motherboard BIOS to use the SATA ports in RAID mode (not SATA or AHCI). But if you're like me and you're adding this SSD to a system you've already built and configured, you don't want to have to go reinstalling Windows 7 all over again. (Info reproduced and adapted from Overclockers. com, original post courtesy of user Eldonko.)1) First, install the RAID drivers (should be on the DVD that came with your motherboard, or downloadable from their website). Or go to the Intel website and get the drivers and Intel RSU software from there.2) Don't connect the caching SSD yet. If you have and followed the instructions to reset the BIOS to RAID, there's a good chance you are experiencing the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) at Windows boot. Go back into the BIOS and switch the drive ports back to SATA or AHCI (whichever you used at Windows installation time). You don't have to open the case back up and disconnect the drive, don't worry about it. (NOTE: The SSD should be connected to the Intel SATA-III port if available, not a Marvell port. Intel Rapid Storage won't work on Marvell.)3) If you didn't already do so, install those RAID drivers now. Reboot to complete the installation.4) Bring Windows 7 up and do what I do: Save a System Restore save-point (Control Panel > System > System Protection > Create button at bottom). Always do this when mucking with Windows internals. Then run Regedit (as administrator). Locate this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Iastorv5)In the details pane, right-click "Start", and Modify. In the Value data box, change it from whatever it is to the value "0" (zero, and without the quotes). This registry change enables the RAID driver in Windows, and tells Windows to load it at boot time. Shut down and if you haven't already done so, connect (or reconnect) your caching SSD, or else just restart.6)On reboot go into the BIOS again, this time changing the SATA ports to RAID mode. Save and restart.7) You will most likely see a RAID configuration screen at initial boot. IGNORE THIS. It's not relevant to what you're doing here.8) Even if you already installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility, you will most likely need to do so again (you can just overwrite the existing install). I think it doesn't register the SSD as available and offer the Accelerate controls until it actually sees a valid RAID-usable drive out there. Reboot again to complete the utility installation.9) Open the utility (available in the SysTray) and enable the Acceleration. Done.One note: A given SSD will only accelerate a single hard drive. To accelerate a second hard drive, you'd need a second SSD... and chances are you'd be out of SATA III / 6 GB ports at that time, but my understanding is it's still an improvement.Hope this is helpful. (Disclaimer: I make no guarantees, assume no liability, and modding a system in this way is best left to experts and professionals.) So far I have indeed noticed pretty decent improvements in overall performance, and I expect this will only get better as the Intel software puts more applications and core system files out on the SSD.

So fast I can't believe it... worked straight out of the box, hooked it up to a sata III port and it starting soaring. WIndows 7 can restart in seconds. Scored a 7.8 on the windows experience index with an asrock p67 fatality professional motherboard. I recommend it to anyone who is reading this if you have a sata III port on your motherboard.

I bought this drive to use primarily as a cache drive using Intel's Rapid Storage Technology, which makes larger hard drives perform almost as well as a SSD. I paired this drive with a 2TB 5400 RPM drive. It was easy to setup and everything was working very very fast. I set the cache size to the maximum 64 GB, and used the remaining 48 GB as a standalone SSD for anything I was actively working on. It all worked great for several months, and then the drive just started disappearing. The standalone partition would disappear from my drive list and looking at the IRST program said my HD wasn't being accelerated any more. Once it stopped showing up at all, even in post, I tried it on another computer and got nothing too, so I called it dead. If that was the end of the story, it would get 1 star, but the OCZ RMA process was painless and I had a new drive in about a week and a half, which is now installed and working, so it's working it's way back up the scale. Had I been using it for storing anything important, I would have been very upset, but in my particular situation, all I lost was some speed for a couple weeks.
