  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Great SSD Deal

Yeah, the SSD is the feature I miss the most from my macbook air. Boot time-5 seconds. Dell with SATA-literally 5 minutes.

What kind of laptop are you putting this into? Tell us what performance/install is like. 128 gb is small for me, but I know they really raise the price once the size gets higher.

I am putting it into a Dell XPS 17. I have 2 500gb hard drives right now, I will use this for the OS and all my programs and use the 1 500 for storage. I will be buying a USB 3.0 external jacket for the other 500 to use it as a back up.
