If you feel your games loading speed is tremendously slow, then yes it's worth the upgrade to get the lightning blink speed, but I don't see any point of that because nowadays games tend to load ahead when you play so you get smoother gameplay (for some games).
Other than that, gaming performance is not affected.

I not very sure whether the sandforce chip issue has been solved.
thats why i buy intel 80gb ssd. though a bit slow on write compared with vertex 2 or corsair force series. if they dont have issue anymore, that is a good buy

well.. so far im using it no problem already la.. no BSOD no restart issue, no SSD detection problem..

ofcos apps/games on SSD will load faster.

thanks for your reply
game loading is not that slow but i save and load game a lot especially when playing rpg.
if can save 2 or 3 second for every load for me it is a lot.

Laptop Users SSD Tweak
Laptop users with Intel Chipsets should read this tweak. The tweak works like a charm

hmmm... stilll can't decide this....

Corsair F60 or Intel X25-M g2 80gb

well F60's slightly cheaper, but i'm unsure of sandforce's stability with the current chatter on its controller
intel x25m 80gb seems like more bang for buck, given the extra 20gb~~~

anyone can help me out here?
thanks

Well..one way or another..it will be a very significant jump from non SSD

Actually, is the SandForce problem solved? I'm thinking to get myself a 60GB Vertex II for OS and applications only, since i have 5 HDD in my rig, i think games and others are enough

Is it a good buy now?

***
Actually what's the real issue of the SandForce controller?

i'm using vertex2 on my MBP.. and so far no issues whatsoever

upgraded from 1.11 to 1.23...

good to hear no problem there.
should buy it before.
coz i too kiasi

Those who use SandForce SSD, mind to tell what's your write speed using CrystalDiskMark 3.0. I get constant 70mb/s for all tests, only when ATTO, it appears normal to what is has been advertised.

Bro, got any differences between both firmware?

according to changelog... there is some changes.. but it didn't matter coz i prefer drives with the most current firmware (1.24 is the current shipping firmware, but i'll update to 1.24 later on, malas to screw open )

in some forums i read.. some say 1.11 got problem.. while other says no prob... some say after upgrade to 1.23 tons of problem.. but on the other hand.. no problems..

usually if the drive no problem.. ppl won complain.. which for me i'm happy with it

what u see typically in forums are the ones that complains coz of certain izzues and the number maybe falls in the industrial standard of defect rate???

Corsair Sandforce is way cheaper if you look around in Garage sales, local distro. Plus I don't think there is much difference even though OCZ has a deal with SF for the firmware stuff. Corsair Force firmware 1.1 used to have BSOD problem when waking up from sleep. Firmware 2.0 supposed to solve it, no problems on mine thus far.


@Hyde`fK
DuraDrive thing is enable by the firmware the preserve the write or something. Perfectly normal to have lower write speeds during benching. It is enabled when too much writing or something rather.
Try running CDM in 0-fill mode and you should get the full speed.

Ok. Thanks alot.
