SSD Tech Question?

[Dougal 165]

To make full use of SSD drives, do I need to replace my data cables?  I'm just using those that came with the mobo.

ta!

Any SATA Cable is fine - they're all the same.

Talking of which, is there a heads-up/guide in this Hardware Forum of how to run the OS and FSX off the SSD drives and place scenery files elsewhere on a traditional IDE/SATA hard drive. Asking because I have a Samsung 840 PRO 256Gb SSD purchased here and another similar one just purchased from my recent trip to the US, so really want to maximise using these 2 SSD drives that have come very highly rated.

 

Any pointers, tips, etc would be much appreciated.

 

I tried to clone the existing Windows 7 OS and the FSX currently sitting in a SATA HDD using the Samsung software, but I don't think I quite pulled it off.
