just jumped to the ssd bandwagon.

below is my team xtreem 60gb bought from seamonster for 2xx.



my mobo abit ip35-e dont support ahci, so scores might be lower than rated.

very fast compared to my old raptor 10k rpm or even current samsung f3 1tb.

lol even my entry-level SSD is considered fast enough for me compared to traditional HDD. not sure if sata3 vertex 3 can go much faster.

understand where the numbers come from (twice as fast as TRADITIONAL SSD, gen1 or gen2), but take a look at the below scenario:
1. migrate from HDD to SSD (entry level even) - very noticeable difference, my personal experience
2. migrate from entry level SSD to sata3 (example vertex 3) - ???

need somebody to comment on number 2 based on everyday usage.

true, just get a decent 60 or 90gb SSD for OS + apps + few games, the rest store in ur 1tb or 2tb HDD.

post la crystaldiskmark screenie.
at least target for 60gb, mine after install OS + apps + few games, still left 36.1gb.

i remember having a bootspeed.vbs script file to accurately check how long is ur boot time. maybe somebody can share with us the file to run & update wats our actual boot time.

should be enough. games probably can install 2-3 only.

my 60gb team xtreme SSD now seems like dying already. only 4 months old.

if used as primary HDD, windows 7 will hang in few minutes.

if used as secondary HDD, it will get disconnected after few minutes & cannot view in My Computer.
