i'm very sorry it's not 'fastboot' but 'fast startup' in power settings in w8.

That's called Hibernate Boot/Shut-down...which some reported that it'll restart itself when the OS enter the log-in screen.

fast boot and intel rapid start is enable in BIOS .does this skipped the post test ?
so isit kinda hard to get my desktop's boot time to be as fast as my laptop ? what is the general boot time you all have for desktop ?
*
I'm using ASUS P8Z68-V, i'm not quite sure that my motherboard have those two things that you've stated.
All I do know that when it comes to boot up, both PC and laptop are roughly the same (depends on the drivers and specs).

BIOS that used by ASUS Z68 have the issue of showing Double Splash Screens...and the blackout just Ugh... doh.gif
So my overall boot-time from pressing the start button till my log-in screen took about 25~30 seconds.

Any idea how to fix that damn BIOS?

Is it a must to install the firmware for the ssd from the website ?
using plextor m5s

Not really, some said it provides "extra speed" but I say let the AS SSD decide.
By the way, mine was already updated the lastest v1.03 when I bought it from the store, so no update was needed.

Download this:
AS SSD
it'll show the firmware version...and you can run some test to discover how fast your SSD can withstand.

i was hoping you guys who can do some simple benchmarks for us to refer to lol!

from my laptop, plextor m5m msata vs samsung 840 pro 2.5" ssd:

[attachmentid=3405932]

[attachmentid=3405933]

they should share the same everything except for the drives.

One does not simply compare a Marvel Controller SSD with MDX Controller SSD.

Just look at the Specs:

M5M:
Max Sequential Readup to 540 MB/s
Max Sequential Writeup to 430 MB/s

840 Pro:
Sustained Sequential Read540 MB/s
Sustained Sequential Write520 MB/s

yes! you're right! it's not fair right? actually all i am saying is that the current msata ssd is relatively slower than 2.5" ssd from plextor. i don't mean to say that msata is slower than all types of 2.5" ssd's.

(the solid proof that @storm88 is looking for, like you said, is already in the specs of each ssd from plextor biggrin.gif).

all it matters to me is that most recent ssd releases have reduced price/gb, with better performance.
*
You're comparing between Samsung and Plextor is like comparing between Lamborghini and Mitsubishi.
Even the price gap between those two are like USD50+ difference.

Newegg:
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Plextor M5M PX-256M5M mSATA 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

QUOTE(storm88 @ Apr 23 2013, 02:00 PM)
but you COMPARE one of the king in the SSD list, Samsung 840 Pro vs medium range mSATA M5M. it's not making sense at all.

+1

thank u notworthy.gif

You've stated you're currently using hybrid HDD and you're asking the meaning of Hybrid? :/

If you're asking what's the meaning of Hybrid drive:
Wikepedia

Else:

Yes, it's possible to clone your OS and or everything (depends on your SSD capacity). These utility are included only for various brand/capacity which I couldn't remember. Cheers nod.gif

does Intel® HM65 Express Chipset bottleneck kingston v300 ssd?

Unless you connect the drive on a SATA II port, otherwise there's no bottleneck by using the mobo you've stated...well not that I can think of.

Unfortunately, yes...

you're currently ran as Serial ATA...which means, it's SATA II

320GB, 500GB, 640GB 750 GB Serial ATA, at 5400rpm or 7200rpm

Try Radioshack @Borders. IIRC They're selling the Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD at RM43X.

Minimum RM30 has to be spent on books, the rest can spend at Radioshack tongue.gif

Plus, you get freebies like 6 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, 1 complimentary Chatime drink, Borders vouchers and many more tongue.gif
*
Which BORDER bookstore? yawn.gif
The BR1M voucher are still left in my drawer untouched...hope to get another SSD from PC fair or somewhere else.
Anyway...can a Plextor M5S raid 0 with other brand (like crucial) SSD with the same controller?

QUOTE(storm88 @ Apr 26 2013, 04:45 PM)
why ask SATA 2 bottleneck thingy and does it really affect alot?

YES maybe a SATA 2 can't fully utilize the SSD's high speed operation. But does your system always run max on the said speed? NO!

SSD at SATA2 STILL perform pretty much faster than any SATA3 rated harddisk
doh.gif

edit: like what tingkat atas shown. good material
*
Well bottleneck do occurs on file transfer...not much...but still do.

Borders with Radioshack inside: Gardens Mall, The Curve, Tropicana City Mall. Not sure about other cities/states.

The one I saw with the Sandisk SSD is in Gardens Mall. Not sure about other places...

I went to Borders @ Radio Shack in Queenbays mall, Penang. All the things they sold are rojak mix items :| No SSD...

Better hurry, Newegg already increase the price for the M5S 128GB from $99 USD to $109.99 USD.

I'm predict that the Malaysia distributor going to do the same, sooner or later.

Plextor M5S 128GB

Hi, My rig have a SSD installed with windows.They said it is better to reduce amount of writing to the SSD in order to prolong the SSD life. If I want install some rendering software such as Adobe photoshop, lightroom, Premier Pro, Sony Vegas pro etc, it will significantly increase its speeds right? (in terms of launching speed? or rendering speed?)

if I install these software to SSD, will they do some writing to the SSD?

Anyone knows how to move the user's desktop from C: drive to other drive?
*
I'm not sure but I too install my rendering software and my IDE software like visual studio. Was trying to find a answer for whether that the constant read will decrease the life span of my SSD...

Edit: Damn it, sorry for double post.
