Any bad remarks about the Corsair F60 SSD?
I am planning to get it for my future rig or should I wait for the next generation SSD?

QUOTE(zsnipes @ Sep 27 2010, 11:51 PM) I also want to get this F60 last 2 weeks. Then I googling a bit just before buy, so many bad news about this model, It would still be a few months before I buy it..hope they fix they update the firmware by then mainly because its Firmware problem  Reading from so many sources also like that. I don't know whether it's alrd settle alrd or not. Hopefully fix it fast lah. I also want buy a good SSD. I find this F60 most fits me in terms of performance & budget. How come now those SSD so many issue (eg. Firmware/Controller) one, last time but a simple HDD only need to choose Brands, but now buy a SSD also need to know so many stuff. Tired alrd....   But it still has the Sandforce memory controller..one of the few reasons I didn't want to get the Kingston V series |

QUOTE(everling @ Sep 28 2010, 02:45 AM) Will the RM 3K desktop with an SSD be slower, as fast or faster than the RM 8K desktop with a HDD at launching 50 programs? It may be interesting to see such a youtube clip. Impossible for a regular 3k desktop with a SSD can be slower than a 8k desktop with a HDD..HDD is a bottleneck of the system..if only the bigger capacity SSD is cheap in the market then it would totally boost gaming loading times assuming it is installed on the SSD |

QUOTE(PCHo @ Sep 29 2010, 05:30 PM) Gentlemen...I am new to SSDs...but from what my fren showed me...I believe it is something that I could use. It is really better compared to a regular HDD but state your budget first because some of them priced to give people heart attack..My fren booted his outlook as though it was already running. I am guessing this applies for applications like photoshop too? My 250GB HDD just died on me and I am looking for a replacement ASAP. So wanted to ask if buying a SSD is really that much better compared to conventional HDDs. If yes, what is the mainstream SSD drive now? Please recommend. Thanks! |

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Sep 29 2010, 06:30 PM) Intel X25M G2 80GB I am not sure about that one..the read write speed is about 250/70 only (correct if wrong)Cost just right around your budget I am thinking that he should get the Corsair F60 @ RM650 with a read write of 285/275.. I am still waiting feedback on the Corsair F60 w/ SandForce controller..I am thinking of getting it if got positive response in this thread |

QUOTE(redbull_y2k @ Sep 30 2010, 06:15 PM) I've bought the Corsair F60 last week and so far so good. Booting up windows and loading applications are very fast. Here's my AS-SSD benchmark, Why is it that SSD's never actually reaches its max read write speed? I know for a fact that it does not reach but I just don't know why it doesn't reach max..  |

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Oct 1 2010, 03:34 AM) Well,that is part of the story I'm also waiting for the 3rd generation of Intel SSDs.. One thing you overlook is Random Read/Write  Intel X25M might lost in term of bandwidth but is still quite a fast SSD and price is reasonable for what it is If you can wait through,G3 coming up soon and shall drop the price of SSD quite a bit due to use of 25nm NAND Flash Chip 25nm NAND shall be out sometime in Q4 2010 Just hope by that time it will be a lot cheaper as well..  |

QUOTE(PCHo @ Oct 3 2010, 10:59 PM) Need a bit of advice here... You cannot see it yet most probably because you haven't formatted the drive yet so it won't show at My Computer yet..I plugged it into my pc but I can't see the drive in Windows7 even though in my BIOS the drive is there. I m still running my old 250GB HDD's windows7 btw and haven't got the time to install a fresh copy of Windows7 on my new SSD. I noticed my MOBO having 2 types of SATA sockets. One type is labelled SATAII01, 02...etc. Another is labelled GSATAII01, 02...etc. Where should I plug in my SSD? Anyway, my MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3. Will installing a fresh copy of windows solve my problem? =.=" If not formatted it would just be unallocated space.. Since you already have the SSD take out your HDD and do a clean format..whatever data important data inside your HDD take it out and format it into your D drive.. You could leave it to dual boot but then it is a hassle to go into BIOS every time to set boot priority whether it is the SSD or the HDD.. GSATA is just a SATA with Gigabyte controller and more or less the same with the regular sata with their controller..plug it anywhere you like |
