Hi All,

Can someone recommend me the FASTEST READ of SSD in the market ?
I need,
- Single Drive (not planning to do RAID)
- Capacity can be small, just install Windows 7 with no games.
- Price not an issue.
- Using SATA 6.0Gbps port (fit to the latest mobo with SATA3 port)
- Write Speed not too critical, but preferred.

Any thing in market / online can buy these ?
thanks

How come say that ? I thought & someone here also saying that the SSD is still more reliable than the BEST HDD now.
Agree ?

Where can buy now the Crucial C300 64GB ? LYP ?
RM600 come with Data Transfer Kit ? Got the model with the Data Transfer Kit one ? How much ?

Oh, I just using for Windows & Software only, mostly need READING speed.
If I want find a FASTEST READ & WRITE, then it will be headache for me, hard to choose & not much model came with both good read & write speed.
That's why I better look for the BEST READING speed is enough, save my headache.

I'm still doubt about the realibility of a SDD over HDD.
Anyway, the drive will sit in my casing, & won't move, so, no worry about dropping & spoil for HDD.
I give myself to use a single HDD/SDD maximum to 4 years, then I will replace it to newer drive. For OS & Data drive too.

Someone here say SSD is more reliable & some say opposite.
So, is there any reliable facts to read about ?

thanks.

agree. Controller also another things to search.... anyway, i rather save my time then...

in my view, i think reliability of SSD is very depending on our power supply which juice the power of SSD,
if the Power is dirty or clog, i think it will spoil the SSD easily. This I based on my experience on our normal Flash Drive usage.
what do u think ?

I planning buy 60GB Corsair SSD (SandForce),
is this good enough in term of speed ?

I'm checking right now, there are many things talking in the forum.
Can you highlight some matters for me to look out for ?

How about
OCZ VERTEX 2 SATA II 2.5" SSD ?
My 2nd choice, is this okay ?

So, the Sandforce in Corsair F60 is slow ?
How about OCZ Vortex 2 ? Who's the distributor & Seller (in Low Yat Plaza) for OCZ Vortex 2 ?

also, Low Yat Plaza I cannot find Crucial SSD ? Got sell in here or not

The TRIM run onto the SSD drive because of SSD is using Flash Based.
May I know is our 64GB Thumb Drive (Flash Based) can run the TRIM to refresh its flash memory inside to improve its performance ?

i thought our thumb drive also has Flash Controller inside.
Initially using my 8GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT is very flash.
I using it very frequent, write, delete, overwrite & write again.
Now feel the thumb drive write slower & slower.

How to really refresh a full thumb drive capacity ?
No format just won't do freshen up.
Any advise ?

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,
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....

Corsair F60

Gigabyte using another controller on another GSATAII port other port are using Intel controller.
Try go to Gigabyte websites download its drivers for the SATA drivers.
all the while u didn't use that GSATAII port rite.
Also possible u didn't format the drive initially so cannot see in windows.

Fresh Windows install Win7 in SSD where connected to the GSATA port also need that Gigabyte driver, make sure copy the driver files into a Flash Drive 1st before install Win7, otherwise Win7 cannot see it initially.
If plug into Intel Controller ports, Win7 should detect it.

U can boot Win7 DVD & format there also can, once in Win7 detect ur HDD, if 1st it can see, then no need GSATAII Drivers,
if cannot see, then select load drivers & point to the Flash Drive with GSATAII drivers in there, once loaded, Win7 Setup sure can see.
Usually I will load the latest drivers Gigabyte provide no matter Win7 setup see it or not, cause I want newer drivers.

For about U can't format in current Win7. Actually you can format it too, u just need load the same drivers within windows 7.
Once the Drivers is loaded, Win7 can see the Unallocated Space from the Disk Management. U know how access Disk Management right ?
In case not, right click My Computer, select MANAGE, then left side select "Disk Management".

If I not wrong, the Gigabyte SATAII Drivers is using JMICRON J36x Chipset, usually I go straight to JMICRON websites download it latest drivers one.
Sometimes gigabyte also didn't update it.

Let us know results okay ?
