Are Intel SSD drives any good?

If I do raid for SSD would it increase performance by a lot?

I might be getting SSD soon.

I am looking for a decent SSD.

My budget is about RM1,000. I am ok if it exceeds the budget by RM100 to Rm200.

Definitely looking for 2.5 inch type ones.

Thanks.

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?

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
depends on the controller, the new SF controller should not a big problem nowaday,
not the previous generation  laugh.gif

Those above are using the new Sandforce controller?

Is there any maintenance I am supposed to do for my SSD?

For instance, like defraging my regular HDD.

Crap, I installed Crysis 2 in my regular HDD instead of SSD.

Still pretty fast after putting Windows 7 in SSD.

Must have cost you over a thousand ringgit. How is the performance from what I watched at youtube. It's dramatically and noticeably fast! The Intel Videos

Nope, it cost around RM880 or so.

My first time using SSD.

Price is reasonable:) Do you experience huge difference?

Huge difference compared to my regular HDD.

Especially with boot up and shut down.

Windows 7 feels more responsive.

My 120gb SSD is almost running out of space, about 10gb left.

What should I move to my other hard drive without disrupting Windows?

Thanks.
