QUOTE(shinzhizu @ Apr 11 2013, 10:45 AM) yeah, i quite agree.coz im using msi card..lol.. might plan to upgrading.. any noticeable incremental if the speed up to 5xxmb? The answer is no  Most of the difference/merit of SSD is the ability to have FAST random read/write speed + latency That's why boot up or application opening on SSD is much faster when compare to SSD I really doubt you have chance to use 500MB/S write short of copying from SATA 3 SSD to SATA 3 SSD Remember HDD max out roughly 100MB/s or so only |

QUOTE(Yagami5159 @ Apr 21 2013, 11:01 PM) All except Plextor, which it drop from RM3xx to RM29x. Still, I'm not quite sure why they're selling that cheap.  Maybe distributor lower margin to penetrate market perhaps?? Can't be reseller selling at very low margin when their margin is low enough |

QUOTE(judesh @ Apr 24 2013, 12:12 PM) Hello Guys....need some advice. Using a 3 yr old Assus EEE PC 1005 with the following specs Atom N280 1.66 + 2GB RAM + Win XP Almost new condition with great battery. Using for MS Office and Outlook email mainly, so sufficient for my needs except Outlook 2003 on company Server seems really slow. Anyway...thinking of breathe some life into it...would replacing with SSD help? Heard not too good with Win XP. Anyway thinking of Plextor M5 Pro 120 since has the brackets and software ....I'm not too technical need easy migration...Or any other choices better for ease of migration. Thanks for the help. For migration,best to just reinstall the OS Err i think time to dump your EEEpc and get something else |

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Apr 23 2013, 09:35 PM) Is A SATA 3Gb/s Platform Still Worth Upgrading With An SSD?Well said in the article, it's the 4K which matters most for real-world performance. Word 4k and latency is what make the SSD feel faster than HDD(In the case of comparing HDD to SSD),not the peak transfer rate Most newbie will take peak transfer rate as everything while it don't mean a jack in average joe real world(PC with SSD and HDD) unless you have a system that use only SATA 6 SSD on SATA 6 interface than yes there are difference to be felt in term of transferring file only |

QUOTE(ralph_d @ Apr 24 2013, 04:58 PM) i see i do not mean that ssd is useless with p35, or "hey no point switching to ssd because only tat much difference", i'm just trying to say it will not perform at it's max transfer speed as advertised, which of course, i know im not on sata3, which it is supposed to be on sata3 but still, booting, alt-tabbing, and all other windows operation is significantly smoother than before, this, no need benchmark s/w also can see one ssd all the way from now on (well, at least the boot drive  ) SSD is addictive Using HDD as boot drive will make you go  |

QUOTE(1024kbps @ May 19 2013, 11:17 PM) Native driver = AHCI driver made by intel. I think you should install Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the software probably will include AHCI driver from Intel as well. Yes,just install RST |
