My M4 on one of my rigs, SATA 2 speed.

I have another M4 in a SATA 3 (Z68) rig and like I've said countless times, the difference between them in speed is minimal. So minimal that I don't feel it and I'm one of those nitpicky types that notice something different easily.

The only difference however is when it comes to file transfer rates, mostly when I record real-time videos (60fps, m2ts) then I can see the difference. However I do that on my other work rig which comprises of a 256GB Samsung 830 as my M4 isn't big enough (64GB).

So really, I would like to emphasize once more... DO NOT let your SATA 2 connection hinder your purchase choice of a SATA 3 SSD simply because it "doesn't maximise your speed".

Great post, now someone should put this + SATA3 benchies to the first post (push to next thread version as well) so when we recommend we can just ask them look at first post, easy yes? wink.gif
This post summarize everything about those peoples' doubt to get SATA3 SSD! icon_rolleyes.gif

Possible to install window XP on SSD drive ? sata3 ? how much performance gain and speed gain with window XP ?

Must press F6 during setup to install the AHCI drivers, performance wise I think Windows 7 should have the advantage since it's built with SSD in mind. hmm.gif
Several foreign forum post to read about Windows 7 vs Windows XP on SSD.

1. Random BSOD without any particular reason.
2. Possible of data corruption.
3. Firmware update for count-less time and yet same issue.
4. Give up and try to use other brand SSD.

But Intel Sandforce has been prove stable, AFAIK, but it's still quite new so... "waiting game"?
Anyway it's up to you to choose, but most people here would recommend something stable rather than got frustrated with complaint threads later. wink.gif
