Mushkin, heard they're quite good. or save some money and play the wait game again, intel and micron release 20nm already, expect more SSD release.

the price tag is also gonna flash us right? loool


i got my laptop already..dont really like the 7.2k rpm harddisk.

If your laptop doesn't support USB3.0, larger storage capacity should be a priority, as you won't normally add a second internal storage device to a laptop. Chances are that you will regret much less.

i have 3.0 usb

2 of them

Then anything will do. However, I would personally still prefer a larger capacity, even though I'm using a desktop and have a few TB of spare HDD. It is nice to be able to dump everything onto it.

Then a x18m ssd 160gb + converter goes for rm450.

do u guys think its good?

I've been using one for almost a month already,no problems so far.Definitely worth the price.

the x18m unit?

how about the speed?

will i able to feel the performance boosted if i upgrade from a 7.2k hdd?

Yeah,the X-18M G2 160GB.The difference is like night and day.The PC only takes less than 40s from when I press the power button to a usable desktop.FF4 only takes 2s compared to around 6s for a standard desktop 7200RPM HDD.MS Word 2010 takes 2s from the usual 8s.I can go on and on but you ge the idea,right?It's fast.My usage model favour reads over writes so I'm not affected by the slowness of the G2's write speeds.

hm...

what do the WRITE speed means? :S

40s ?

i heard its like 10 seconds wuu :S

10s from the moment you press the power button to a usable desktop is impossible.
The PC that i'm using,it needs around 10-15s to POST,then 25s to BOOT.
Write is when you install something or copy something over to the SSD.Windows installation time certainly improved,but not by much.IINM it went from 35m to 25m or so.

oh , but overall is a worthy upgrade? cause if its good i will do it

got the intel 320 series 300gb for my mbp on monday. 2 days and no problems so far. really big difference compared to my old mac though. loving it.

Definitely a worthy upgrade.

are u using it in a rig or lappy?

Right now in a laptop,the Dell Studio 1555 to be exact.

wow!


i dont know which SSD to get now , budget around 600.


any recommendation?

F90 possible is better than intel ssd?

The F90 has better writes if the data is compressible,so it is faster.However the Intel is 160GB,the F90 is 90GB,that's a lot of difference especially for a laptop.

someguy told me corsair F series wont fit my laptop, SAGER ,...i d k why.

I don't see why it won't fit since 2.5" HDDs fit.
