You mean something more current? You're then looking at RM400++ for a 120GB SSD.

Most SSDs should be fine now, including modern SandForce-based SSDs, but there is a standing recommendation to go either Crucial M4 or Intel. For the Crucial M4, you'll need to buy via some of the traders here as they aren't sold in retail stores. Intel's 330 Series are also SandForce-based SSDs, but they have been validated quite thoroughly by Intel. I have even bought a 330 myself and it worked fine in a variety of machines.

i think i will skip getting it then.. i don't want to risk it.. it is a hassle and waste of time n money.
i may just go for intel 330 or m4 for future proof i guess..

Did you install Win 7 in Ahci mode ?
X79 use RSTe drivers (3.x.x.xxxx).

X79 chipsets are using Intel RST Enterprise drivers. Did you download them or you are using the normal Intel RST?

Refer to the 1st post for SSD Optimization.

Just making sure as you didn't explicitly answered the question. Did you made sure that your SSD was already in AHCI mode and then installed Windows 7?

Yes,I can comfort i set at AHCI mode before i install a windows.

The version 11.0.0.1032 is the normal Intel RST.
You should be looking for the Intel RST Enterprise drivers.

The different versions of Win 7 has no effect on the X79 chipset.

when i burn data from thumbdrive to dvd, i see that my hdd activity light is always blinking/on.

is that caching of data to hdd going on there? will it reduce the lifespan or affect the performance of ssd in the long run?
