Hi Mariano,I guess the horror stories would be relevant if you happen to have a motherboard that's not compatible. In fact from my experience, most hardware incompatibility is a horror story, but thanks to the Internet, most hardware manufacturers now offer compatibility guides through their websites.What's really interesting with the PCIe-based SSD drives in particular, is that they make full use of the bandwidth and deliver higher than SATA III performance on a SATA II equipped motherboard.As far as stability is concerned, I haven't had any problems. The installation was straight forward, the drive was instantly recognized during bootup using a USB Win 7x64 Installer, all I needed to do is supply the specific driver on a separate USB stick.PCI Express has been around for quite some time, in my opinion these drives are absolutely ideal. I think as pricing drops, as was the case after the CD-ROM first hit the market back in the 90s, this technology will be adopted more and more, especially by niche consumer groups such as gamers and simulation enthusiasts.Jerome

Jerome, can I ask you to please run a simple test?Download Process ExplorerStart a flight in FSX, open PE and double click in the fsx.exe process row and monitor "Read Bytes Delta": what kind of read values do you see there please?

I saw the 1,700 didn't believe it lol

I can't believe it, too. You can have 240G here for €560, that's about $750. I think you might have seen the 480GByte card.
