there is nothing to worry about it. ssd will last long enough. by the time u want to upgrade i think the ssd is still working fine. thats y intel dare to upgrade 320 series up to 5 years warranty.

after 1 week waiting time...

nice speed. sata 3 is fast... do u have benchmark with normal setting

wat ya normal speed?

Hi situ here, I planning to get a sad from us.
But I m new to it, now I shortlisted choice is
Ocz vertex3 120gb
Crucial m4 120gb

Others recommadation are welcomed .

Can user here share their experience of these ssds with me ? Are they best bang for buck in term of performance ?

If you are getting it from US, crucial m4 is cheaper and performs almost as fast as vertex3. Not to mention reliability but with the latest firmware maybe the vertex3 is good to go now. Still, I'd go with the crucial m4, especially if you are getting it from US.

from the pic i can see u test the data using 0 fill. can u do another test with default setting?

thank you for you suggestion

btw can i ask if normal daily computing on Mac OS X lion, with mostly document/websurfing/photo editing/gaming/movie

izzit advice to go for SSD? coz i having 4x 1TB drive in RAID now =)

and i oso notice that for m4 it only had 270mb/s write speed as compare to vertex who had 500mb/s write is tat really impact on real world performance? or just some marketing figures?

another thing is tat since u talk about reliability how bad is sandforce compare to marvell? although i know the best reliability lean toward intel.

i'm planning to use ssd sata3 on my sata2 mobo...it is any problem???

no problem.. but u waste ur money bcoz u will only get sata 2 speed.

i'm planning to upgrade to i7..that why i'm thinking better i buy ssd sata3..

default setting is for ssd sata ver 2 rite?

btw... as per request.

no laaa default settings is more to uncompressed data. i can see the speed is also good for uncompressed data.

actually from what i experience its even lower than sata 2 speed. coz sata 3 ssd is made to run full speed on sata 3 and when it is used on sata 2 its lost its capability to even cope with sata 2. in the end u will only get lower than sata 2 speed. if u planning to use sata 2 better buy a sata 2 ssd. cheaper and u will get full sata 2 ssd speed.

You need SATA3 interface to take advantage of the extra bandwidth of those newer generation SSD's That's the whole point of 6GB/s SATA interface.

I just got my SSD may I know what's the software Intel Rapid Storage Technology??

it is a storage controller driver.

feunul:- ur ssd space less den 50% already... it will slow down for sandforce ssd rite?


btw:- here is mine

hi guys.

i am going to buy SSD soon.

so i ask your opinion first

samsung 830 or crucial M4?

64gbx2 raid0 or single 128gb?since at my place the price for single 128gb=2x64gb

U wan trim den no raid.
U wan speed den raid but no trim.

If u running raid, u get slow booting on bios.
