In Vista these two worked as expected but once in W7, they've been acting up since. Since using W7, looking in Nero 9 InfoTool showed the first drive - Read Speed 48x and Write Speed 16x while the second drive showed up as Read Speed 12x and Write Speed N/A. I've flashed them both to the latest...

Heres a nice review on disk drives compared on Windows Vista and Windows 7 As you can see, Windows 7 is much more efficient when it comes to making use of a solid state drive's speed. While under Windows Vista, our X25-M SSD averaged between 171 MB/s to 206 MB's, whereas under Windows 7...
