guys.. shud i wait next gen release or just upgrade my current Intel x25M g2?

so far i read, vertex 4 is the fastest rite?

all my BT downloads r straight saved to my wd green hdd.. so far so good

btw guys i just received my vertex4 and will post the picture here soon =)

how much u got that v4?
dun forget to share some score later

RM550 for ocz v4

For those chasing performance SSDs to replace their old SSDs, will you please report if you can feel the performance difference? Does it compare to the first time you used an SSD?

Will I have bottlenecks with use Intel 330 SSD on SATA II?

Sata II have limitation of transfering 300mb per second(3GigaBits) not sure i'm correct or wrong thou.

you have check 330 SSD benchmark to know if it's bottleneck. If i remember, i think it's it's 230mb read and 170mb write.

see my post: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2186620/+1220# it's crucial m4 on sata2.

How lightning fast you want your SSD to be? SSD will definitely improve your Windows experience whether it is on SATA II or SATA III. I will definitely buy another SSD for my newly rig but I will definitely not buy another SSD to replace what I'm having now. For SSD, the bottleneck is your HDD. Even a 10,000 rpm HDD can't keep up with the entry level SSD.

so thats why my best choice is vertex4 and i've never used an ssd before. gona test it tonight with only game loading and starting up/scrolling big sized videos

Can but only little, cause i stored most of my raw TIFF scans on SSD, most of them are over 50MB each, loading time is only a little bit faster cause bottleneck-ed by my CPU, 3.7GHz AMD thuban (some image viewer will resample at real time to fit the screen which use cpu resource, and its the resample is not multithreaded!111!!)
Only ATTO can tell the difference LOL
I bought the HyperX 120GB cause it priced same as my old SSDnow(old price almost same, 260++)

Law that means the program of BT and downloads all start in harddisk?? how long u have been doing this?? Thank you.

Added on May 28, 2012, 9:03 pmWaiting ur report. I thought u have using SSD + HDD combination for BT downloading?? SSd for system and BT + program of BT all throw to HDD?

Went from an Intel X25 to a Crucial M4 and Samsung 830.
Have them on SATAII and SATAIII machines, difference? Perhaps. But I think it's only psychological, lol.

Heavier tasks like encoding videos or real-time recording (especially when recording at 60fps) on the other hand, I do see and feel the difference however.


You're not getting full speed, atleast interms of sequential writes and reads.
If you're reading reviews, don't just read how fast the SSD can transfer data, because that's sadly not the whole story.

The reason for SSD being so quick is because of its virtually non-existant access time.
And fortunately for you, even first-gen SSDs are already in this area of no-acess time at all.

Bottleneck? Yes. If all you're gonna do is run ATTO or AS SSD everyday.

If you're actually using the computer, you'll likely not be able to tell the difference between SATA II and SATA III.

I am just planning to upgrade my current HDD to SSD. My motherboard does support SATA III albeit through Marvell controller.

It seems if I use the SATA III, my boot time will be longer because my motherboard needs to boot the controller before can load the system.

What is the price of a 240 GB version of OCZ Vertex 4?

And...how good is it?

the speed aint going anywhere if im still on sata 2 rite?

Possible Max sequential read/write speed for your SSD is 375MB/s for SATA 3GBits/s.
if im correct

btw Marvel controller sucks, you will get sub optimal result if using these controller instead of intel native sata port.

all memories of vertex4 are superb AFTER you UPDATED THE FIRMWARE to v1.4

vertex4 is temporary the fastest ssd on earth and price is cheaper than corsair/intel

bro have u install ur ssd yet? any review?

Well, the problem is I may use the SSD as the primary drive if I have planned to build a new desktop PC. (currently I don't have enough money to buy the components)

Plus, my current PC is in IDE mode and the OS is Windows XP, and there is no way to update the SSD firmware in that mode.
