Just want to share my experience of SSD. I have one OCZ Agility 3 on my desktop and one OCZ Vertex 2 on my laptop.  It's really fast, boot up time cut more than 50%. MacBookPro restart took me about 25sec, Win 7 not calculated yet.

IF you have SATA 3, go for SATA 3 version.  OCZ Agility 3 60GB is the slowest but yet can achieve 440MB/s.  My Vertez 2 can get 280MB/s.  The only problem is OCZ have no flash update for mac, and it does not support Primary Drive update.. This is what drive me crazy. 

If you can live with current speed then no point spend so much premium, if you can afford and want speed go ahead.  My SSD is install for my work not for house pc.  You can wait a bit long for home pc.

but then sata3 interface ssd is more expensive right ?

just bought 3rd piece of X25MG2 80GB, for my laptop tongue.gif

I only believe in Intel , but seems like Intel 320 series giving problem.

but intel write is slow than other. OCZ and Corsair is fast in both read/write.  OCZ (bad in flash update, personal experience)

Now, copy something from your drive the own drive,

see can reach that stated speed or not

or you use another HDD copy something into ur SSD. laugh.gif

You do realise that a performance test of copying files from a HDD to your SSD will be bottlenecked by your HDD's performance and won't properly test your SSD's performance?
*
That is my point.

How will you reach 4xx MB/s write speed ?

you need another drive which can do 4xxMB/s as well.

I'm looking to purchase a SSD for my computer. Mainly used for daily usage and also photo editing (lightroom and photoshop, been hearing a lot of using SSD as photoshop's scratch disk improves performance)

Any recommended SSD for starters? I have been looking in the garage sales, seems most SSD are in 2.5 and some 1.8 factors? In that case how can I install on my pc? I'm using a CM690.
*
2.5 inch is normal

1.8 inch have to buy converter to 2.5 inch.

u can mount on cm690 with 2.5 -> 3.5inch bay converter smile.gif

for 80/160GB go for X25M-G2 wink.gif

Intel 320 having some issue is that the drive detect it as 8MB after a "power failure" issue when shut down.
I'm not too sure what's the problem though.

Avoid Vertex 2 lah in before people greedy see the write speed so high but unreliable

Gee, was actually considering Vertex 2.

X25M-G2 is the older version of the 320?
*
yup, X25MG2 is the older version of 320,

depends on model lah, Intel SSD where got slow. In fact people hardly notice the write speed.

coz we often open program instead of saving files


QUOTE(nabielz @ Aug 13 2011, 08:21 PM)
not really much.
320 serious got serious problem.
x-25M are most reliable  ssd biggrin.gif

yeah x25mg2 the most reliable. smile.gif

I just noticed, the 320 is cheaper than the X25MG2? =O

Is the X25MG2 still in production or already EOL?
*
I think it's EOL already but they still giving support for it.

320 series was released to brush up X25M G2 series

So far the 320 Series only 1 reported case, I don't think should worry about it.

Yet the old SandForce controller giving a lot problem a lot people still go for it haha laugh.gif

QUOTE(kianweic @ Aug 13 2011, 11:02 PM)
Intel 510 series, 120gb is RM899.

Mushkin Chronos DLX 120gb is RM949

OCZ Agility 3 120gb is RM899

According to C-Zone's price list.

Is Mushkin any good?
*
depends on the controller, the new SF controller should not a big problem nowaday,
not the previous generation laugh.gif

Fair enough.

It also wholly depend on the end-user like myself. Basically I only have Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, MSN, Winamp, Winrar, Lime Wire, Steam & Team Fortress II installed in my PC. After all, a high performance SSD is what required.

You enlighten me with the information provided. Thank you:)
*
these applications even a budget ssd will do well lah.
until now i don't see any point getting a " super fast " ssd than a reasonably fast with large capacity,
because intel ssd is fast enough.
