>Hi Charles,

>Replacing the primary drive in my Lenovo T500 with an SDD drive over 12 months ago has been the best hardware upgrade I have ever made. Cold boot times went from over 3 minutes to useable to less than 20 seconds. VS2010 performance is no longer an issue.

>I moved the existing HDD to a caddy in the ultraslim bay and installed an Intel SSD as the primary drive. I did a fresh install of W7 64bit on the SSD and can now boot to either drive if required via a function key on startup.

>A caveat though - make sure you have adequate backups. SSDs seem more prone to failure than HDDs - see

>Mine failed after 13 months and was replaced under warranty. Reinstalling, restoring and reconfiguring was a pain but once you get used to the performance you wouldn't go back,

Do you use TFS on a remote server or VS2010 local?
