Message: [QUOTE="Mike S, post: 14176158"] I bought a dv7 pavilion with a 320.0 GB SATA-300 7200.0 rpm hard drive, and I'm reading about SSD drives to see if the price will justify the improvement in speed. A buddy of mine recommended that I get an SSD that uses a sanforce controller, and avoid indelinix controllers because they've had some problems. I read that the Cruzial v4 256GB SSD uses a Phison controller which is significantly slower than other same sized drives. Does anyone here have any recommendations on which driver to go with for SATA II? Also, will I have any problems cloning my 320 GB hdd to a 256 GB SSD? I have less than 200 GB of files, including the hidden restore partition. In the past IIRC the target drive had to be at least as big as the source drive, is that the case when cloning an hdd to an SSD? TIA, Mike [/QUOTE]
