I'm more concerned about my HDD sometimes. The temps are hotter than other brands of the same size.

What model HDD hotter? But if change to SSD the problem solved right?

All the A42 series report high temperatures from the HDD. Problem is bad ventilation. SSD should bring the temp down. I never measured the temps with my SSD yet though.

I thinking to buy A-series laptop with SSD icon_rolleyes.gif but the SSD price sweat.gif
But my brother A42 still got no problem although high temperature of HDD, high temperature but still can operate well, not malfunction yet. tongue.gif

Well, the new A series is different from the previous batch... so the cooling may be different liao  nod.gif

I want the SSD speed only, my brother using old generation i5 and it's the weakest normal voltage i5(430M), the CPU usage never reach 100%(gaming i don't know la), just waiting for the HDD~ whistling.gif

SSD price is dropping lately. Can get a good sized one for quite a low price now. But still when it comes to your data, high heat is bad.

Thinking of 60GB SSD, OCZ is the best brand right? hmm.gif the price about 439~ask you something, if i buy SSD to replace the HDD, how about the HDD and the OS installed in the HDD? icon_question.gif

You need to burn the recovery disc first, then use it on SSD..
or use your own Windows disc...

OCZ is good, but not the best if you ask me. You need to completely reinstall the OS into the SSD using the Windows ISO either thru the DVD or pendrive.

What brand is the best?

Speed is fantastic. I'm using it on the desktop now since I have too much stuff in the laptop to swap it out. tongue.gif

I get a boot time or <30s everytime now.

And my X-25M is an OEM unit so it's much much cheaper.

How much?saw at price list is RM1249 sweat.gif
