Guys,

I am currently building a rig for working and some gaming.

I wish to know whether 80GB SSD Intel had the enough juice for all these softwares:

Necessary Software
Windows 7 Home Premium ~ 30GB ? Not sure
Microsoft Office Professional + Project + Visio ~ 1.5 GB
NI LabVIEW 2011 ~ 2GB
Solidworks 2011 ~ 4GB
PTC ProE v5 ~ 5GB
AutoCAD 2011 ~ 5GB
Other misc. apps ~ 10GB
For the software above, already used up 57.5GB, make it 60GB

Left around 20GB, is it enough for gaming apps such as:
Call of Duty
Red Alert 3
Starcraft 2
Battlefield 3
Diablo 3
Some other game with the same genre as above ?

All the pictures, documents, video, music is in HDD. Also wish to ask, what is the current market price for Intel SSD 80GB and 120GB ? is there any other brand that are recommended ?

thats a lot of games... u might wanna leave some space on the ssd though.

Viewnet has Vertex 2 120GB going for RM589. If the firmware is good, I'd buy that over their RM539 Intel 80GB.

My ram 8gb but only 1333.. cpu is i7..
May I know does ram speed matter in the booting time?
If yes den I cant upgrade already, my laptop max support 1333 only..

dun hv one yet, hesitating in getting oem or retail unit

so the bad block in ssd won't spread like a plague as if bad sector in hdd?

No. Bad blocks are due to physical defects which can spread like a sand inside a hdd damaging the platter. SSD got no such thing.

thx 4 replying
hv the same thought too, just need confirmation

guys wta my ssd temp in cpuid hardware monitor is 128 degree celsius.
is this normal? will it burn?

Intel 320 160gb
Host Writes 1.09 TB
Host Reads 1.51 TB

Bought on 19th June 2011

Should I be worried?

Not at all. You only need to worry if you had hit 31TB in four months, but since you only hit 1.09TB in four months, I would not worry in the slightest when it comes to your SSD's write lifespan.

Another way of seeing it is that you need to write 263GB a day to your 160GB SSD. If you write less, you're safe.

no worries needed.. check this forum. the 320 can write more than 600tb and still keep going. and thats only 40gb capacity while yours is 160 that 4 times larger.

May I know does partitioning a SSD into 2 partition will have any negative effects on it? coz I plan to dual boot 2 OS in my system..

hey guys,

currently which model is the most stable? Or are they all the same? I looked through a few pages back and some forumers said Intel's 80gb comes highly recommended.

Also, one thing i realised, the same 120gb can vary differently in terms of price and performance. Are performance and stability equally as important?

Im interested in either 80gb or 120gb. Hope to get most bang for buck.

Thanks!

i wud go for stability. and intel and marvell are good. but since sandforce has already came out with new firmware that is said to have fixed the bsod problems u might wanna check it out also. maybe some of sandforce users with problems before who have tried this firmware can confirm?

No negative effects.

hello sifoss.

my ssd nowdays is getting slower.

it used to boot up the windows in 25seconds , now it took like 40 seconds...any clue guys?

normally i wont even see the blue window welcoming window...but now it kinda stuck there for awhile..

my spec is in my siggy..thank u very much!

this is my speed for my Corsair Force 3 120GB
before the firmware update (v1.3)


after the update(v1.3.3)


i think the performance degradation maybe due to normal day2day use



can give check the health of ur SSD in SMART? using programs like ssdlife
also if u can try benchmarking ur ssd and see is it still ok or not.
check whether ur ssd is trim enable or not.

hello....how am i going to do it?

ssd life is a program?

Added on October 25, 2011, 7:58 pmi have already benchmarked my ssd , it is still the same result as last time which means fast.

my ssd life is 88%.

wonder why it slowed down in booting
