You can use RST 9.6.0.1014 or Native MS Ddriver for the flash & go back up to 10.0.0.1046 after the flash if you wish.

Without running AHCI, TRIM would not be working.
SSD would slow down over a period of time.

Depending on your controller on the mobo chipset, there are different version of sata/AHCI driver
What mobo are you using? AMD or Intel?
Gila speed fr OCZ

haha, imagine using this item to boot windows.

Have a question here. Between the Corsair Force SSD and Intel X25 gen-2 SSD, which is more value for money? Planning to get a ssd to boost my pc's performance, please give some advice. Tq.

corsair force series may have some random problems/complains from what i can see from corsair's forums and also computer shops

i'm using intel x25m and so far no problems for me yet.. and its almost a year liao IIRC

currently in the Garage Sale, there're afew forummers , selling the intel x25 G2 160gb at very attractive prices ...I got mine frm one of the guys here...the price per gig is approx rm5.30-ish....which i think is value for money...

Corsair is faster, but still buggy.
Intel X25-Ms work perfectly & still kicking in my rig.
RM850 for 160GB is cheap & sold like pisang goreng
raid0 doubles the performance

Bro, does TRIM support RAIDO

No, TRIM is removed once any RAID Configuration is installed
More infos

bought a 40gb ssd intel today, may raid 0 when got $$$

My bro bought 1 from u.
Making me wanna puke.
So tempting

can share the experience of using 40gb ssd intel?

quite tempting to get 1 as the price has drop a lot...

bought a Vertex2 for my MBP

noticed that the firmware upgrade size is abt 90MB...

i was beginning to wonder the SSD processor itself is a computer which handles flash management and RW requests from the host OS via some linux/vxworks/uOS

eg.. something like dd-wrt on artheros 9k series NPU

thats y its called ssd processor not ssd controller

Hi guys,

Just wanna post this new benchmark for Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB. I just purchase it from a bulk. Current price is RM600 but I bought it for RM570.



What do you guys think about its performance? It's actually SATA 3 but I only have SATA 2 computer.

Planning to go 1 more SSD for my desktop.
Laptop use SSD Desktop use HDD, too unfair to my desktop

I have budget that is up to X25-M 80GB, which im using now.
But I wud like to try new world.

Raid 0 X25-V 40GB ? Or Single OEM 160GB X25-MG2 ?
Intel brand.

Any other brand that is good ?
I need some advices.

i'm currently using am2 board (asus m2n-e) which i think is only using sata 1.5gbps and my OS is window 7 64bit..

my questions are:
1. does my mobo support SSD? is SSD backward compatible?
2. if it does, does the older sata makes the SSD lost its performance significantly?

thanks

SATA1 = 150MB/s max theoretically so you'll see significant drop in read, while Intel's write still within the margin, sandforce types will see drops as well, huge bottleneck and waste of $$ so it's recommend with much newer system to fully utilize SSD technology.
If you don't mind the speed, access time will greatly helps you in loading time, which can improve OS, application and IO intensive loading latency.

Asus M2N-E should be using sata 2 interface.

thanks saturn85..it seems that my mobo does support sata2..yeay!!

and thanks @wildwestgoh..i learnt something new today from u

haha, you can always check the motherboard spec on the manual and on their website.
