hi sifus.. is this normal? my m4 64gb.



i feel no gain in window loading speed..

You must be doing something wrong not to feel any difference even in loading Windows, in comparison to your previous WD HDD (I assume).
Fresh install of windows?

Have you optimized your SSD yet?

You shouldn't need to optimise your SSD in order to feel the difference. The difference should be as clear as day and night.

My CPU and SSD is older and slower than yours and I can feel the difference.

Flash mobo to latest bios
Flash SSD to latest firmware 0309
Set SATA mode to AHCI
Fresh install windows
Install latest mobo chipset driver.

If still persist, pls change to Intel platform

so i assume my AS ssd bench is normal? Anyway, it's a fresh installed win, mobo n m4 flash to latest bios n firmware dy. Maybe i need some time to get use. Just installed it last nite n hvt really tested it gao gao yet..

Hi to all sifu here, I am newbie on this SSD thing. One question, if I buy SATA III SSD and plug in my notebook SATA II slot, is there any compatibility issue?

I heard that laptop will face problem like blue screen. Is that true?

Thanks in advance.

by rights SATA3 SSD would work on any SATA2 port coz it's backward compatible. blue screen could be other reason, like what happened to those famous SF controlled SSDs.

So, are you saying that there will be no compatibility issue if I use SATA3 SSD on SATA2 port? I'm on planning to buy SSD to replace my old HDD.

I have been using Samsung 830 on sata2 but never had any issue.

lets say if i get an SSD, and i want to migrate my windows 7 onto it, is it possible? PC spec on my sig bar

You can try to use Clone software to clone your previous Windows 7 volume/partition only over.
Software like erm, Acronis TrueImage or equivalent.
This is theoretically works but depends on the system, might not work cause the SSD needs proper driver to boot or possibly other Windows related settings.

Fresh install is always recommended when migrating from hdd to ssd. Why? to avoid certain problem later such bsod,hang, slow, etc...

hey guys,

im using an Acer 1810TZ ultraportable with Pentium Processor and Windows 7 64bit.

Do you think an SSD upgrade will boost any performance? Can my laptop even fit an SSD? It has a 250GB hdd

thnks!

I think this was asked before. The answer is yes and yes.

how great will the improvement be? will it be as fast as the one i had upgraded on my desktop?

Depend on your laptop's motherboard

Is my AS SSD score normal?



My boot time is about 10 secs from BIOS to desktop.

Drive: Crucial M4 128gb (firmware 3009) connected to Intel SATA 6 port (WHITE).

Intel i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz
Asus P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1)
Kingston 4GBx2 DDR3 1333MHz
Nvidia GTX580 sLi

Fresh install Windows 7
Optimized SSD
AHCI mode
Updated Intel Chipset
Latest IRST

pls update IRST driver to enjoy an improvement on write 4k.

is it worth it to buy a sata 3 ssd for my sata 2 system? because the speed will be cut in half right?

sorry..but what does this mean? acer 1810tz is just an ultraportable with pentium processor ..will this bottleneck the SSD?

also, do i have to remove the 250gb hdd to fit the SSD in?
