QUOTE(owikh84 @ Feb 23 2012, 03:31 PM) The 520 uses SF controller which old revisons had been famous for BSOD. The M4 uses Marvell controller and shares NAND memory with Intel drives except for 520. Samsung 830 uses it's own controller and NAND memory. Both are very reliable from record. Go with whichever is cheaper, the M4  520 uses different firmware than standard SF and gone through intel validation But price/performance ratio wise, M4 would win. Unless owikh84 starts selling OEM Intel 520 SSDs . If it ever happens anyway:P This post has been edited by kaiserreich: Feb 23 2012, 07:54 PM |

QUOTE(everling @ Mar 7 2012, 04:07 PM) I'm surprised that OCZ would choose to replace their flagship SF-based product with an unproven Indilinx controller. I would have thought they'd replaced the Agility controller with their own. Or maybe perhaps OCZ will create a new branding line for premium SF-based SSDs? OCZ bought over Inidilix, of course want to promote own product as Flagship lah. Takkan want treat it as a stepchild? And if you do recall, I'm sure you do, Indilix was once the King before SF came out. This post has been edited by kaiserreich: Mar 7 2012, 06:46 PM |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Apr 6 2012, 11:18 PM) I doubt the 330 will be faster than the M4. I believe they'll both be similar in pricing as well. As of right now, we still don't know if the 330 is using a Sandforce controller or not. Judging by the read/write speeds alone, it's a little bit odd that it is slower than other cheap SF alternatives, perhaps the firmware is offsetting it? The 330 should arrive in Malaysia shortly after the launch in the US, could be anytime between 2-3 weeks after. Probably a tweaked 320 controller with SATA3 enabled. We can find out when it arrives i guess |

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Apr 13 2012, 11:41 PM) Massive price drop was due to it being phased out...Intel 320 is dead Where da massive price drops? Intel 330 looks quite alright compared to the M4, which is its competitor, just lacking in Random read speed compared to the m4. Based on Anandtech's early snippet anyway. |

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Apr 16 2012, 04:46 PM) Yup Intel 330 day released. We will bench it against Crucial M4 later tonight.
Both comes with 3 yrs warranty. Intel Controller vs Marvell Controller. Crucial is RM 50-60 more.
Based on the data provided by anandtech, the Intel 330 should be a decent buy at RM4xx. I wonder if there will be a price war next, since the m4 has been so popular. This post has been edited by kaiserreich: Apr 16 2012, 06:08 PM |

QUOTE(gn9746203 @ May 19 2012, 01:55 PM) i got no money bro  ... i guess my write speed is fine according to crucial website but the read is not close to 500  and... in sata 3  Try to play a song in the background or something. That improves your benchmarking read speed, at least for mine. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ May 19 2012, 04:10 PM) Yes possible. You need to find a caddy for the 1555 though, like this: http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?ma...products_id=282Cheating~  Yes but that works. Playing a HD video using MPEG-2 encode is even better! LOL!  Intel 330 120GB is RM450 only. I suggest getting 330 instead. Even cheaper at PCDepot 60GB RM269 120GB RM439 |
