If you want to have 128GB of space, okay. If you want to have extra speed, it's probably not worth the trouble and you're likely to be bottlenecked by your CPU.

hmm.. 1st time heard of that bottleneck issue. can elaborate more on it? currently still got 30+gb on my 64gb m4, don dare to install a single game in it yet.. lol..

Once again, flashing the firmware doesn't affect your data.
However in the event if something went wrong during the flashing process (let's say, power blackout) then the drive could be bricked.

Lucky thing for you is, flashing is so fast that you really only need to pray for 30 seconds that there won't be a power blackout.

notworthy.gif thank you very much.. i did flash before.. but that was when i just got my ssd few months back.. everytime i flash mobo bios, i have to pray hard.. guess i have to pray hard again this time... laugh.gif

Those who use 60gb SSD, how many available memory after you install Window 7 64 bit?

i'm using 64gb m4 and win. 7 ultimate.. after install all the drivers and some programs, left around 30-35gb.. more than enough if you don plan to install games..

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Aug 12 2012, 03:26 AM)
Go back to stock settings and try again?
Don't think it's an SSD issue. More to do with your overclock.
~35GB give or take. Depending on which version of Win 7 you install and whether or not it is already slipstreamed with SP1.

ok.. this morning start up it seems fine now.. thanks..
