Kingston SSDNow V+ Series SNVP325-S2/64GB

I install the drivers and some utilities from the ASUS disk, not sure of this affected the performance of the SSD.

How do you get the turboboost drive button to work again..or how do you know it is working once you push it.

FYI someone already upgraded the blu-ray drive to a Sony blu-ray writer combo without any issues. He was able to swap the bezel over.

Crappy cell phone pics are up in the owner's lounge.

how come there's a huge difference ?
by the way, what kind of caddy did you use when you were installing the ssd?

[sac130e]

Used original caddy...wil install 500gb drive at later date.
Yea..went from 5.9 to 6.9 with the SSD..Not sure if installing Intel drivers vs the microsoft ones were a factor. The boot up and shutdown are really fast..and that a big bonus..

Any one know how to get the turboboost to work..I tried installing the Intel turbo boost driver and get a message stating this system doesn't meet the requirements...???

Also, how do you get ito the bios at bootup..so quick don't have time to react.

thx

I am wandering if the Intel SSD drives are better in performance than the Kingston. I know the evansen guy, got a 7.7 on his Intel SSD.

How do you enable TRIM..thought that was automatic with W7..?
Still trying to get the TurboBoost button to work, but everytime I try and install the Intel Turbo Driver, get the message that my system is below specs for this install...any ideas on this?

I get that same message, so I didn't install it. I am pretty sure the ATK or ATKEY software from Asus is what enable the physical turbo button on the laptop. Also could need controldeck and power4gear in combination to get the button to work.

I agree 100% on big negative for Newegg shipping! The laptop should have been double boxed and the SSD in an envelope is sad also.
