@ OP I would suggest against the Corsair, and instead recommend the Crucial Adrenaline.
Was one of the easiest components to install into my computer and the software is install/forget.
The Adrenaline is basically a Crucial M4 64GB turned into a cache drive with software so you have the reliability of the Marvell controller.
Turned my Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200rpm from a slowpoke sata II, to a fully saturated sata II HDD (basically equal performance to my Intel 320 series 120gb)
The only thing that it requires is you keep the OS on the HDD for the Software to properly work and they recommend uninstalling the software before you unplug the SSD cache drive from the motherboard, I found even when resetting cmos It doesn't REALLY require you to uninstall the software, it will ask if you wan't to disable or continue and I always just continue since there aren't any issues
. Probably the longest thing I have done all this month was (install OS onto HDD) then once it was installed I installed the software and watched everything on my HDD start running as fast as my sata II ssd.
You can get close to equal performance from a Velociraptor 1TB for nearly twice the cost.. which is why I think a Crucial Adrenaline + HDD is a much more affordable performance boost.
Here is what my HDD + Adrenaline is running at in comparison to my Intel 320 series and my other Crucial M4 64GB (my m4 64GB previously had my OS on it but I felt I could use that space towards better things since I get excellent load times with the HDD+Adrenaline) better load times than when I had OS on the 320 series.
Adrenaline + HDD (1TB)
Intel 320 series SSD (120GB)
Crucial M4 SSD (64GB)
So yes, the regular Crucial M4 is faster than the Crucial Adrenaline + HDD, but that is fine because you are sacrificing 1s better OS load time for 1TB of sata II fully saturated SSD speeds.
