Definitely OCZ vertex 2 FTW. It smokes Intel 40GB.

Intel x25-e lifespan write 2PB AND 1.4PB nice i think good already
intel x25-m likespan write 30tb and 60tb not enough for me because i lot write so limited
i doing usage gaming and software too so much write too and a lot install

so i most choose intel x25-e right then intel x25-m

Intel x25-M lifespan too less.

Well, clearly something is wrong or misleading with that spec, as there are a number of people whose Intel G1 and G2 SSDs have reported already exceeding that spec and not suffering any problems.

yah so recommed intel x25-E right big lifespan we can alot install software and games right if a lot install software and games so be will eat write right

eh, Intel X-25V 40GB got TRIM?

I have a weird problem with my new Kingston SSD with my Windows 7 64-bit.

Sent it back to the shop for testing and it tested fine on an Intel platform. Took it back and reran the tests on HD Tune and the problem shows up. BUT, when I jiggled (moved) any application window about, the performance on both the normal benchmark and access time shoots up and stays up as long as I keep jiggling the window. Tried installing the latest AMD drivers for everything, 10.9 on graphics, South Bridge and AHCI and still no change (poor performance when idle and expected performance when a window is jiggling). The North Bridge Filter won't stay installed.

Using CrystalDiskMark 3.0 and HD Tune's File Benchmark, I get the expected normal performance of over 200 MB/s read and 100 MB/s write.

I am all confused now.

Ya. Just wonder how true is the lifespan provided earlier.

Why is there so much rumors about SandFOrce chip being unreliable and have higher failure rate? but dont seem to find any factual article about this.



.... in the verge of buying OCZ Vertex 2...but kinda worried

pls check corsair support forums

esp in here http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=88341

i'm not sure whether its confined to corsair's drives only.. or it effects all sandforce based drives..

I used to have the problem where my F60 cant be detect/keep rebooting itself. But no after i install Steam and some games into the SSD, it seems fine now.. lol..

Guys,
Looking for comments on between the OCZ Vertex 2 and the Corsair F60 given that most shops in Low Yat are selling them at the same price. It would also seem that these 2 have very similar spec. So I am kinda wondering if it now boils down to who can get the firmware right for trouble free install and post sales support.
Any help in suggesting.
Thank in advance...

Corsair F60 i'm using now is fast and good.. but when the first time i use it, it keep coming out BSOD.. but after i install some games and software it seems to work fine now.. waiting for new firmware to be released.

Intel SSD X25-M G2 160GB

hdd manufacturer x der buat ssd ker??? ke x hebat??

Seagate made a Hybrid SSD o.. Momentus XT and Pulsar series..

in years, how long is the lifespan of an SSD?

the manufacturer gives 3 years warranty.. so you should expect at least 3 years lifespan.. but

and iirc patriot gives 10 years on its drives... so typical life should be somewhere between there 10 and 3 years... (just speculation)

but since ssd is quite young in the market... its still hard to say

imo 3 years is ok.
1 more thing, i search google but cant find any info regarding ssd price trends. like u said ssd is quite young in the market. but i dont want to wait 5 years until ssd is dirt cheap, before i can buy ths thing. so i wanna know whether the ssd price will drop significantly early next year or not.

WD have WD SiliconEdge Blue SSD.
