Seems like most people only post when something is wrong, so people coming to the forums see more of the bad experiences. I know SSDs have their issues, but my experience has been flawless. Everything has worked exactly like with an HDD. Performance has been stellar, both in terms of benchmarks and real world performance. I am running Win 7 x64 Build 7100. I have run Wiper once after deleting about 15 GB off the drive. I experimented with AHCI, but read that it wasn't intended for SSDs and the in benchmarks it slowed down the SSD on the write side. I did most of the tweaks on this forum, but not real sure how much of a difference they made (probably not noticeable).

My motherboard is the EVGA 680i SLI (122-CK-NF68). I can provide more specifications if they seem relevant.
