ok i will check whether mine is 1st batch or not and thx for the info.

You can install Intel SSD Toolbox, it'll tell whether it's G1 or G2 and do the TRIM for you with a click of a button

SSD thread is so cold....

btw after long use of this SSD it really slows down noticeably compared to fresh out of box.

Depends on what controller your SSD uses and what is your operating system. Both components need to support TRIM in order to minimise performance degradation.

which brand ssd is the best choice ?

i'm using the intel G2 80gb. so far so good

me too...

How fast is your booting time with SSD... I do find it quite irritating to wait for windows to finish boot up, especially if your taskbar has quite a lot of program.

u using ssd ?
after boot into windows it takes 5 secs ready-to-use for me.

komag i tot i was hacked ..dam u lol ..

anyway while trying to understand more bout ssd, i stumbled upon pcie interface. ocz has made a revo but it is silent in the market coz ppl r stil skeptic about ssd.

but as nand begin to shrink nm and prices fall, and people are hitting sata3 limit, perhaps pcie will kick in. but it will take another 10 more years. too slow.

the thing about revox2 is that it has already surpased sata3. but x2 price remain unknown whether it will replace x1 with the same price. currently its about .. 400usd for 120gb, not too expensive.

im gonna check if suppliers around LY brings in such model. but its 99.99% unlikely and has to be ordered.

I planning buy 60GB Corsair SSD (SandForce),
is this good enough in term of speed ?

corsair F series currently may have issues with certain pc conf...

pls check in corsiar forums first prior purchasing..

I'm checking right now, there are many things talking in the forum.
Can you highlight some matters for me to look out for ?

How about
OCZ VERTEX 2 SATA II 2.5" SSD ?
My 2nd choice, is this okay ?

Already aim to buy ssd since last year but the price still like a luxury item to me. Want to make it as my main storage, installing windows and all program. Based on my current usage, I need at least 80gb to install anything I want and have a peace in my mind for another couple of year. So now, still waiting 80gb to reach rm300.

I think there is a good possibility that you will have to wait another year before the price drops to your target range. The Intel G3 80GB is expected to to be about RM 400 by the end of this year.

RM400? Seriously, I really have no idea why people always cannot be more realistic over the price. If we want to use the latest technology, prepare to pay a bit more. If budget does not permit, either we wait for this "new" technology to become old or go for conventional platter drives. Anyway, all the best in thinking that new SSD's would be as cheap as RM400 because by then, the Kingston would be RM200 a piece and I'd rather get 4 of those to RAID-0 than a piece of G3 80GB.

i remember low capacity sandforce drives is really slow? they might have fixed it but when it first came out its bout 1/2 of the 120g models...

So, the Sandforce in Corsair F60 is slow ?
How about OCZ Vortex 2 ? Who's the distributor & Seller (in Low Yat Plaza) for OCZ Vortex 2 ?

also, Low Yat Plaza I cannot find Crucial SSD ? Got sell in here or not

Yeah. It's the reason I'm satisfied with my cheap 128 GB Kingston. I have an SSD and plenty of space to work with. As for Kingston getting a similar price drop, I am not expecting it to be any time close to Intel's release. There aren't many 25nm NAND manufacturers.


Possibly. You know how RAID-0 is fast? SSDs is like that internally. The more NAND chips you have, the more it can store and read the data in parallel.
