I've been very happy with it but it's now stopped working. I contacted the…

SSD replacing hard drive, worth it?
I have to re-install Windows as all my dodgy installing / uninstalling of various programs has made it slow. There are a few offers around for 64gb/SSD drives for £60-£70 and just wondered if it really did speed things up? Any experiences or better prices? Thanks. Steve

Although this usually ought to mean the APN is wrong, in fact the same modems work fine on XP using the same APN. Anyone got their E160s working on Win7?
