I have 2 OCZ Agility 60 GB drives shipping to me in a few days. I picture using one as a boot drive, the other for applications, and a 3rd 1TB traditional hard drive for music, pictures, etc. However, I have read several places that these OCZ Agility drives need some special steps to install properly.
What do I need to do in Windows/BIOS to properly set up these new SSDs?
Answer
Taking your question at face value, you don't need to do anything; the system will just see them as regular hard drives.
It is important to make sure your partitions are aligned correctly to the blocks (Windows Vista and 7 do this by default but XP does NOT, I'll assume you're not using XP though) and it's required to run in AHCI mode for TRIM support - you change this in the BIOS, generally under the SATA configurations. The drives will WORK without doing either of these things though.
