Upgraded my PC

Well newegg came around with a deal I couldnt pass up. They have the Corsair Force Series 3 SATAIII 240GB SSD $70 off plus a $30 male in rebate which makes it a grand total of 199.99 with free shipping. So I went ahead and purchased 2 of them. 480GBs worth of SSD for $399.98 is a great deal IMO. I am looking at running them in RAID 0 +1. Havent decided 100% yet. I am very anxious to get these babies installed and running. Thanks to Bikerdog I also have the sata 6gb upgrade on my Corsair 800D so I am fully prepped for these bad boys!

Initially I was going to get a 90GB SSD plus one of the 240s but for $70 more I could get two of the 240s....... Only made sense to get 2x 240s!!

That brings me to 9 components in my PC that are Corsair.
Corsair 800D
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 16GB 4x4gb sticks
Corsair AX1200
Corsair Force Series 3 240GB SSD x2
Corsair Flash Voyager GT 32 GB USB flash drive with Corsair Lanyard.
Corsair 140mm fans x3

id run them in raid 0 then set windows to run its backup every night. if one drive dies then you still have all your data and you get the wicked speed.

Also, Corsair ROCKS!

I wouldnt worry about them dying as they are SSDs so i would run RAID 0

Here is a Newegg review I did for the 800D casw, which is a testeament to their product support.

All the Pros that everyone else has listed, and one more.

I have literally purchased many thousands of dollars of Corsair products and have always been pleased with the quality. Recently, the Power button on the Corsair 800D case I purchsed in August of 2010, lost its ability to spring back as the lower portion broke free from its mounting spot.

So I checked the Corsair store and saw that I could buy the entire front bezel for $45. Not wanting to pay for a complete front when I only needed a small plastic part worth $0.50 or less, I wrote to the customer support department. I got an auto reply right away, and a reply the next day from a real person.

I answered one more simple question, and they replied that same day and gave me a code so I could purchase the entire front bezel for $0.00....YEP...absolutely free.

That folks, is good customer support and an excellant customer retention strategy.

I highly recommend Corsair products!

Thats awesome support!

I have RMA'd a few items of theirs and their Customer Support is always a pleasure to deal with. My initial mobo was bad and after a very lengthy dispute with ASUS I finally received it almost 2 months later. Installed everything and found out one ram was dead out of my 16gb kit. Newegg wouldnt do the RMA because I had the RAM more than 30 days so off to Corsair I went. Submitted a case for RMA and with in 24 hours I had my RMA number and away went the old RAM. About a week later I had gotten my new RAM. It was so simple I couldnt believe it. ASUS could take a note or two from Corsair!!

Ok, so I gots the SSDs and I RAID 0 them for 446GB of blazing fast speed!! Still working out all the little things and re configuring my BF3 controls..........

I cant get over the boot speeds.... I rarely get to see the windows 7 little splash screen with the 4 colors. It almost instantly boots up to my desktop from the time I see my Marvel Controller.

Thats amazing how fast your computer is.. I remember when I got my Force 60GB 2 years ago how you see the 4 colors until then come together(about 2-3 seconds) then the desktop immediately shows.. I have a password on my computer, but I've set it to auto login..

SSDs FTW

WEI Score

That was before all my driver updates also. Dunno if it will change but Im happy with it!
