Those are the caps for the coaxial cable they included in the package.

SLI with another of the same, of course

I, and several other forumgoers, flashed under AHCI with no issues.

I'm stutter free on my single 160GB G2.

I flashed AHCI, no problems.

The october firmware bricked drives (including mine), the just-release firmware works great. I've seen no reports of bricking. I am not sure which firmware comes with a recently purchased SSD. Just download the new firmware and attempt to flash it; it will update if needed.

Win7 pretty much figures out for you, nothing special to do, assuming you are doing a clean install. Use AHCI or IDE in your BIOS to make sure TRIM works.

If the trick is bricking, then yes. I changed to IDE mode and bricked quite nicely.
