3 Seagate system hdd crashed my system in a year.
I am doing a lot BD iso and conversion. To me data reliability is of utmost importance. I am hoping SSD is my answer for now. (at least for now) For normal user, performance gain is not significantly noticeable. System and programs would just load like as if they are on steroid. QUOTE Even window boot time, a few seconds delay isnt gonna kill me. HDD do not boot windows 10-30min slower than SSD. May be you need is different from me, but for user like me, I wont be noticing any much different from SSD. it really depends on the user need, some people might find SSD useful, some like me dont. Added on September 23, 2010, 12:08 am QUOTE I think it's fine as long as we share the correct information smile.gif It's common over here that some people advice without knowing what they are talking about sometimes. When we RAID, we lose the TRIM feature so eventually things might go slow (which I also notice in my case). One of these days I have to do something about it, waste of time ain't it? biggrin.gif Boss, isn't there Intel SSD tool that can help to clean and realign data for Intel SSD?

QUOTE(hosealwh @ Sep 23 2010, 01:58 PM) Then consumer grade of SSD and even HDD don't suit you. You need to pay more for enterprise grade drives. It's a matter of $$$ Vs Performance.Also, SSD upgrade is perhaps better than even ram upgrade. Some might say 10 sec program loading reduce to 5 sec loading like not significant but hey if you open programs day to day, how many seconds you have saved? Especially you are in a rush to do something, what would you feel when something response slow like a snail? It got nothing to do with 10 sec or 5 sec. It's the overall experience, everything become snappier and responsive. My proc already costed me 1k. Intel proc would cost even more. Some ppl won't mind spending the extra on SSD. |

QUOTE(hosealwh @ Sep 24 2010, 05:49 PM) +1 +1. For comments should be based on personal experience and not quoting from others. Typically, people keep complaining about SSD's reliability and price but do not actually own a SSD drive. Get 1 and it will change your mind. To show the performance difference, here is the benchmark screenshot of my own entry level SSD and F3 1TB: [attachmentid=1798267][attachmentid=1798268] Please don't compare to the internet reviews as I just wanted to show my own experience of the performance difference. Added on September 24, 2010, 5:57 pm  Please look at the date of the article and it is very vague. Technology is moving fast and nowadays flash memory has a much higher write cycles already. |

QUOTE(munak991 @ Sep 25 2010, 05:53 AM) 2 words Its expensive Expensive is a relative term. I say it's cheap. LOLi always wanted to raid a HDD but if i raid 2 HDD i would go for a SSD and the capacity of a SSD is very small, so end up i buy 1 HDD QUOTE(Kiding @ Sep 24 2010, 05:09 PM) OCZ Vertex 2 120GB selling at US$240 in Amazon  or RM 6.3 per GB. can't resist itI'm considered to buy it, anyone wanna join? QUOTE(dtdw @ Sep 25 2010, 12:48 PM) the one who quoted 7.5 per gb. hmm that's if u do direct conversion using xe.com I suppose. it's imposible to get that rate. This is the cost to reach Bolehland. I am happy to take 2 new units of Vertex 2 for RAID at RM6.3/GB. You sell to me. Added on September 25, 2010, 8:43 pmPrice and model aside... When is the manufacturers gonna release firmware or driver that support TRIM on raid set up? This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Sep 25 2010, 08:43 PM |

QUOTE(dma0991 @ Sep 29 2010, 08:16 PM) I am not sure about that one..the read write speed is about 250/70 only (correct if wrong) Get Corsair or OCZ if you are onto Sandforce controller ssd. They have good throughput.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(chenhui87 @ Oct 20 2010, 02:54 AM) waiting for new intel ssd 80gb for rm600 new~~~haha~possible? Possible in near futureQUOTE(saturn85 @ Oct 22 2010, 04:53 PM) i think ssd still superior than the hybrid hdd. Hybrid hdd still wins in terms of price and capacity for laptop use. At least it won't burned a deep pocket. A 256GB ssd is still not pocket friendly at least.  So now say, 120GB ssd is not sufficient for laptop with normal data storage. While 120GB would be more than sufficient for desktop usage with only the system files, other data are stored in other HDDs in desktop with xxTBs of capacities. For storage -> hdd wins For speed -> ssd wins For reliability -> ssd wins So it would depends on individual usage pattern. |

QUOTE(Riddhy @ Oct 28 2010, 10:53 PM) hey guys i m currently using ocz vertex 2 60 gb as a boot and 2+yr old western digital scorpio 320gb as a storage drive in my laptop. With SSD, win7 installation should be 10+ min.Boot time is longer after i installed the ssd why is that? also i did a clean install of windows by dvd drive installation took around 25~30 mins?? i am running in ahci modei enabled in bios my chipset is pm965 it supports sata 2 so why am i not seeing any gain? do i need to update any firmware? Please check your ssd firmware, latest is 1.11 ver. What AHCI driver did you use? Some is crappy. Added on October 29, 2010, 6:04 am QUOTE(wiraone @ Oct 28 2010, 08:08 PM) I would say that I'm totally agree with you on this one. As per my requirement, I don't really want a speedy SSD, what I want is a replacement storage for my carpc. 64GB is I believe good enough since from the 320GB HD that I've right now, only 20GB is used up and the reason why I wanted an SSD is because I've previously had HDD failed on me and the current one showing the same symptom. With no-moving part in SSD, it will surely helps me a lot. +1Same case applies to me. My HTPC failed 3 times in a year bcoz of crappy hdds from Seagate. I just need peace of mind. Added on October 29, 2010, 6:09 am QUOTE(Casval_Hyakushiki @ Aug 23 2010, 02:10 PM) Video that I found on YouTube shows the comparison of Windows 7 start-up time with boot drive using the SSD and HDD.. I just saw this. This video is quite entertaining. LOLzI've been thinking about replacing the HDD boot drive on my PC with SSD.. But SSD's price is quite expensive, makes me have to think again.. Ouch..  This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Oct 29 2010, 06:09 AM |
