QUOTE(Zibel @ Nov 14 2011, 12:05 AM) What's the point in using atto it's so unrealistic as it just writes zero's to the drive. Who buys a drive just to write zero's to it? FWIW, not a lot IMO as you'll not get these speeds in real life. [attachmentid=2534386] becoz thats what u get with sandforce... it will only shine with compressible data... and ocz uses atto to get those specs on printed on the box if u read clearly look at the product sheet carefully http://www.ocztechnology.com/res/manuals/O...oduct_sheet.pdfclearly said QUOTE 1 Maximum Sequential Speeds are determined using ATTO so if u didnt want to deal more with compressible data then u shudnt have bought sandforce.. just get marvell or intel, This post has been edited by iaknesnah: Nov 14 2011, 09:04 AM

QUOTE(Zibel @ Nov 14 2011, 02:39 PM) As I already explained to you, it's a pointless test for real world performance and if you already understand that then why ask for it. becoz people always confuse how OCZ got that speed from and keep on asking y is their ssd not getting the correct speed like advertised LOL  . QUOTE(Zibel @ Nov 14 2011, 02:39 PM) As I already explained to you, it's a pointless test for real world performance and if you already understand that then why ask for it. and how did u come out with that statement?? it is not a pointless test at all if u really understand. i uses compressible data to test the ssd unlike crystaldisk where u can set it to which ever data u want to test

QUOTE(zzzxtreme @ Nov 21 2011, 05:11 PM) hi guys i need to load programs quickly, visual studio, sql server, VMWare, compliing , etc... what do u think of intel 320 ? 120GB for RM620 (dunno got increase or not) with 5 year warranty. is this the best value/performance/reliability ? Added on November 21, 2011, 5:12 pmanother question, it seems that Intel 320 can "make windows XP Support TRIM". does it really work? I really rather have WinXP if using windows xp, u need the ssd toolbox and run the optimizer once a week.

QUOTE(kuekwee @ Nov 22 2011, 12:19 PM) before i flash firmware a lot of blue screen now is getting lesser. i think still not stable to run on window sandforce QUOTE(zzzxtreme @ Nov 22 2011, 04:51 PM) thanks, so everyone agrees in terms of reliability/warranty/value - intel 320 is unbeatable? Added on November 22, 2011, 4:51 pmand do I have to install XP in AHCI mode to use the SSD Toolbox ? i wudnt say unbeatable... if u have sata 3 port with a good sata controller u can opt for M4 with better performance. but intel 320 is suffice for boot drive and i'm liking it so far... yes u need to install in ahci mode to make use of its performance.

QUOTE(everling @ Nov 24 2011, 03:10 PM) And it is at a nice price too. RM1,179 for a 256GB. And it even gives you 238GiB for storage instead of setting aside a lot of spare area, which is very nice. I hope the "beta testing" goes well, as I am interested in buying one of these. yes the price shud be better since indilinx is owned by OCZ. thay dont have to buy those expensive sandforce controller and just use their own. hope this one is better than sandforce i mean with less problems

QUOTE(zs3889 @ Nov 26 2011, 01:24 AM) there is a deal going on this website, which ends by the end of the day. the price is $149.99, but it gives a $79.99 mail in rebate, which makes it $70.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...&Tpk=20-167-047i know its super worth it but this is my first ssd and i dont quite know which brand too choose. so far based on customer reviews on these stores, crucial has the best rating, is intel on par with crucial? in terms on quality and reliability. thanks intel has better return rate reputation than crucial base on this source in fact it the best among all ssd manufacturers.

QUOTE(zzzz52 @ Nov 26 2011, 10:42 PM) As requested. For my intel G2 80gb vs 160gb SSD. It seems that the 160gb part is having a problem. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « AS SSD:  80gb  160gb Crystalmark: 5x 100MB  80gb  160gb 1x 100mb  80gb  160gb 1x 50mb  80gb  160gb Even though for the 5x 100mb test is almost similar for both ssd, but i can notice during the test that for 160gb ssd the reading would drop to around 3MB/s during the 3 or 4 test point. strange your results are all over the place... you should open up a thread in intel ssd forum and see the feedback from their representative. here is the link http://communities.intel.com/community/tec...iew=discussions
