I have a Crucial M4 128 that is about 40% filled with the OS and programs. Then a Raptor 300GB for data. It works great. This is my second SSD I use W7 64 bit. Before, I had an Intel 35GB SSD with a 72GB Raptor setup.

We put the older SSD and Raptor in my son's computer running WXP 32 bit.

These SSD's work great. DO NOT DEFRAG THEM!
