Are you using iTunes with an iPhone/iPad back up? Because usually that pesky mobilesync takes up alot of space without you knowing too.
I once cleared the back up and it was 12GB in size, very surprised.

It was fine before i install SSD, was running on HDD all the time 24/7 no problem, once got this SSD installed, things go haywire. I will go figure out with my voltage.

Here is speed test on Vertex 4 128Gb 1.4RC
I see my speed is being capped down by my mobo...

nice bro

I can say, the SSD seems getting cheaper. I bought Kingston 240GB @ RM 1500 last year, now the price is RM 400 cheaper.

Need some help here:
I took the advice to switch from IDE mode to AHCI mode since im using Vertex 2 (its been a year now only i know AHCI is recommended for SSD setup)
But then my windows wouldnt boot up Its keeps looping during the window logo there !!
I think i did all the necessary step in my BIOS to enable AHCI mode. SO what could b wrong?. Im back now in IDE mode..

Do this when you are in IDE mode:

1) Open Run command ( type regedit)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.

My friend in UK will come back in 1 mths time. Is buying SSD there cheaper & bring back to Msia?

Generally speaking, they are more expensive because of the exchange rate. However if they are best buys/clearance, than maybe it's a different story. You will need to calculate and compare yourself.

Thanks stasio.
I googled and found out the possible problem/solution. It seems that during my first time installation of windows, i must set it at AHCI mode.
No wonder , coz i think when i install my windows its was in IDE mode. But i will also try ur solution first.. THNKSsss

Nope, itunes do have some good audio encoder and cddb, but i dont use itunes anymore
my windows 7 is almost 3 years old already, probably there are lot of junks inside since i changed mobo twice without re-installing windows

definitely gonna take the vertex 4!! ronaldjoe's price is nice~

What about sandisk extreme/ultra? no one use them? Not reliable eh?

New Crucial SSD packaging. Very thin, as thin as the SSD itself. Now made in China. No wonder Crucial prices are so cheap now.

What's wrong with it being cheaper?
The hardware inside is still top notch stuff.

Can always check for review, Overclock3d and Storagereview review-ed this SSD iirc.
When in doubt, buy Crucial SSD

My new SSD Corsair Force GT 60 ,didn't optimized 100% yet.
(Read speed must be 555, Intel® RST 11.5.0.1149)
Next month another one, just to run RAID0 for Win7 x64.
