Thinkpad X40 SSD setup

#1 Post by sprtnbsblplya » Sat Dec 13, 2008 3:56 pm

I built an X40 SSD following the instructions from Thinkpads.com, http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... &start=120.
No sooner did I get XP SP3 installed and my PS3 died on me. I would much rather have a working PS3 than an SSD in my seldom used laptop.

I have great feedback on eBay under sprtnbsblplya.
I accept PayPal, money orders, and will accept cash if you're a local Seattle, WA buyer. Will ship USPS 1st class mail. $75 please.

Mod edit img tags broken - We do not allow inline pics without a warning in the subject line, and we don't allow large pics. See the for sale and advert guidelines sticky at the top of this forum.

How are hibernate times (both saving and restoring) with this setup? Faster, slower, the same as the hard drive?

Do you loose anything by not have the HDD cache? Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't test hibernate times on it. Didn't really do any testing on it to be honest, just installed windows.
