thanks bro.. so i'll just format the other partition & install windows normally..    icon_rolleyes.gif

during the windows installation, please read the on screen instruction carefully. it will state that windows will create additional partition for system reserved partition. as been told earlier, this is normal and do not delete the system reserved partition, else you might get in trouble in the future.

just wondering...

a friend of mine said that SSD will die faster if we copy & paste files from SSD to removable HD/FD or delete & restore files too much.
basically, he said the more we write on the SSD, the faster it dies(compared to HDD).

it is true ?

p/s: 'm just another noob

of course SSD will die faster the more you write on it. same goes to traditional hard disk. estimate if you write everyday around 35-50gb, your SSD still could last 10 years. is it not enough for you? probably in 5 years time you already change your SSD to new bigger capacity or buy new computer already.

Glad to hear that your SSD is back to life.

I thought Crucial was quite stable already? Was considering the m4 for a Macbook, but decided to take a risk with the Vertex 4.
*
Crucial was stable but the latest firmware had issue with UEFI mobo. just stay with 2nd latest firmware and you are good to go. i think vertex 4 was a good choice either. other brand you can consider is intel, corsair and samsung.

Have you update to the latest Intel AHCI driver? what is your sata speed? seem like sata2. also install Intel RST and the provided Intel SSD Optimization software.

Can I know which SSD you guys will choose:

1. Intel 330 180GB
2. OCZ Vertex 4 120GB

Both of them are USD99.99, buying from US.
*
Personally, i don't recommend buying from US as if i'm not mistaken there is no international warranty for SSD. last time plan to get Samsung SSD 128GB from US for $89.99 around RM279. it's a good deal but scared if anything happen had to send back the item to US for warranty. Unless buying additional SSD, i might buy from US.

if you need more capacity, take the Intel. you don't need to bother about the benchmark so much as you will not utilize your SSD to the max during daily usage. just make sure your mobo support sata3 - 6gbps and you are good to go.

No leh...though my mobo is old but it supports SATA2/3...

Mine is ASUS M4N78...

Your mobo seems to have sata 2. have install sata driver? Which OS did you use? Do that note that smaller SSD size have slower speed. what is your boot time? how many sec? try to check if there is updated bios for your mobo and flash it. if problem still persist, try other sata port since you have 5 sata ports. if still no different, buy sata 3 card. tongue.gif
