But you will see the harddisk history, how long do the 3.5inches harddisk and 2.5inches harddisk conquer in IT consumer economy. It's not 1 year, not 10 years, but more.

It is true that we cannot predict the future, who knows after 1 year they release even new technology that even smaller than SSD. But you have to see the consumer side ( It will only get popular when the price is right ), if you ask anyone who owns the SSD, I can say not much of people purchase it. Even in US those guys are not even thinking of SSD unless those IT benchmark guys or reviewers.

A lot of consumers purchase harddisk primarily for storage and backup purpose. Since there is RAID technology, it should be easier compare with single harddisk. But those who has alot of budget, they can definitely go for SSD.

I have read the comparison between normal harddisk and SSD. Indeed SSD did provide good reading and writing speed. But guess what, this is only good for those video editing, large ( is very very large ) amount of data transferring, or other high volume of data might be getting benefit. I cannot denied that SSD can increase speed for booting and normal transfer, but with a few second differ, I don't see we need to purchase SSD which is 5 times (or more ) more expensive than normal hhd in order to satisfied for few seconds of performance increase.

Conclusion: See wallet pocket to tell the truth. XD Peace~~~

1. I didn't compare 3.5 or 2.5. just that all are drives that able to save your data and storage in an efficient way.

2. i nvr think SSD is a new product. ( You assume only ). That's is why it has been so many years, but SSD is still not able to rise up in the market, and yet everyone is still thinking of purchasing RM300+ 2TB harddisk.

3. Here is Malaysia. That is how the market is. I'm bought a PC cost RM8k last year. All frens and other relatives said I'm idiot. I do enjoy technology. But guess what. After use it for some time, I really do think it is really waste of money cause with RM3k I can still enjoy using PC. That is life. That is why people still hoping SSD to drop price. Trust me, it will. It is just a matter of time. ( This is what era, even LCD few years ago from 10k drop even RM600 only ).

4. RAID is used to increase storage reliability through redundancy, combining multiple low-cost, less-reliable disk drives components into a logical unit where all drives in the array are interdependent. I never say it is for combining disks. ( You assume it as well ).

5. It is true i do not own SSD. But do you think all reviewers in the whole world are giving wrong information? That is how I get my nice pc after reading review video for 3 months in total. I also know it can make difference for daily computing. But how much. Huge diff? How huge it will be? Could you please elaborate more on this? Cause I really do not think normal consumer really need to spend 1k on harddisk right now just can make difference for daily computing. ( Except for organization thats for sure ). If purchasing SSD is just to speed up games, processing daily photo, video editing, gaming ( Thats what all normal consumer do ). I think it's not worth it.

6. In fact, I'm not planning to buy at the moment . ( and no one is forcing me too lolz ) You pay what you get. Thats all I can say.

7. I feel it does not necessary to do so cause all my frens don't have SSD. With my current pc spec. I'm really happy with it

I have alot of feeling about this since I bought RM8k PC. It is not that I wan to make myself bangga. Just to let you know. Here is Malaysia. If really want to make everyone able to get SSD. It's either make Malaysia economy better or wait till SSD drop price. Man.. writing this is like flamming already.. I apologise if there is any offend. PEACE~~

P/S: Lolz, after finish this post, i only find out is you. Yesterday afternoon we chat about acceletro 5870 lolz.

How do u check whether this ssd is 34nm version? Thanks.

Guys... I'm a bit noob in the Gen 3 SSD news. So if anyone roughly know the answer, pls let me know.

When will the Gen 3 SSD release? Cause I'm planning to get it along with the Sata 3 PCIE convertor. Thanks.

And some people mentioned the price will be skyrocket, but some said the price is almost same as gen 2... Which one should i believe?

Do you have any idea when will it release? And also it seems like I'm unable to get PCIE sata 3 card anywhere T__T

Ok... Time for me to get Gen 2..... With that kind of price for Gen 3, i think its sufficient with Gen 2 speed. :S

I realize that even you dont want to install game in SSD, yet it will still force you to. I have 60GB SSD drives, but spend like 8gb on games. Why? Cause those DLCs, facepack etc are force to install in my documents.

Thats true.. And just by putting those facepack and installing Adobe Ultimate edition, already spent so much space.

O guys, I dont know u all know about AHCI , I heard that if your SSD does not run under AHCI, the ssd speed will decrease like normal hdd. So have to enable AHCI.... At first I thought my SSD got problem. And I google it. Enable the AHCI. From 50second boot up to 19 second boot up! I cant even able to see the window 7 logo coming out XD

My IDE mode result is even worse than you.... During IDE mode, the AS SSD mark only score 100. After turn on AHCI mode, it rose up to 300, its 3 times faster =___=

You need to enable AHCI under the windows registry first. Then you can only enable AHCI under the bios. If bios does not have AHCI, then you might to either update your bios or install Intel Matrix Storage or AHCI driver downloaded from your respective motherboard brand website.

Check in your msconfig http://windows7themes.net/how-to-speed-up-...ows-7-boot.html. Whether u set the lowest or not. Hope this might help

The new Gen 3 SSD prices do have pretty nice prices. Its kinda shock that you are able to get it at 150++ US dollar or more.
