I got one of the Mushkin Chronos SSDs a few weeks ago and after installing it I am not really noticing any insane load times like everyone talks about. Windows starts up and shuts down a bit faster but my games still seem to all take way too long to load. It may have cut the load time down by a 5 seconds or so but nothing spectacular like everyone raves about after they get an SSD. I've already been through several guides on how to optimize it. The BIOS is set to AHCI, TRIM is enabled, etc. all my games are installed to the SSD and it's hooked up to one of my SATA 3.0 ports.

Another thing, every now and then for no reason at all the DVD drive will spin-up now even with nothing in it or no reason for it to be doing anything, and any game I'm in will pause for a couple of seconds until it stops. Any idea what could be causing this?
