Awesome thanks!

Now I have a question about heat... do SSDs burn hotter than normal drives? I noticed my laptop was getting a lot warmer than usual today. Also, is there a fan speed control app for Windows that is similar to SMCFanControl for the Mac OS?

Edit: Hmm... found this: "Reduced heat dissipation Hard drives dissipate high levels of failure-inducing heat due to the parts necessary to operate the hard drive (such as the spinning platter). In contrast, SSDs produce little-to-no measurable heat because they have no moving parts, thus helping keep notebooks operating cooler." Here: http://www.crucial.com/promo/index.aspx?prog=ssd
