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

went to gardens and curve to hunt hdd dint notice any ssd or maybe i just dint pay attention on it... still need to pay rm200+ if buy with vouchers ...

normal peoples don't do large file transfer day by day.

so SATA2 bottleneck thingy is a NOT NECESSARY TO CONCERN point for me under home user environment

Meh...some do...somewhere...out there... *_*

Overpriced Rojak items

Gardens/Mid Valley is a bad place to hunt for niche items like SSD lol

Benchmark freaks

ScanDisk Extreme are not even that great...

Hope that PC Fair got the goods I want...*finger crossed*

Are you sure you do over 150GB file transfer per day ah
In that case install only SSD inside your pc for maximum performance than

now is which brand of SSD CHEAP AND GOOD??

Depends on capacity of SSD. Cheapest so far on the market maybe:
Plextor M5S 128gb RM299

Is there any Asus N53SN user here? How to check whether my laptop support Sata 3 or not? I am planning to buy Intel 520 series 120gb SSD.

just asking.
How much will be the expected price of a SSD in, let's say 2 years time?
'm using SSD(kingston v300 120 Gb) now and I fell in love with it.
However, 'm worried about my extreme (very heavy internet user) usage may shorten it's lifespan and need replacement in 2 years or so.
2 years is the usual lifespan of my drive (my experience with HDD 5400rpm).
p/s: can't life without ssd as primary drive.

ur chipset is same as mine.
so, support la.

p/s: ain't an expert.

Ok thanks bro BTW, may i ask what are the very very average lifespan of this SSD ? What do you all mean by the lifespan will shorten if we browse internet alot with it @.@

p/s my HDD (2years) still very healthy So i am wondering if i buy the Intel 520, will it last me 2 years+ at least as well?

I download a buttlots of data ( games , movie & shits) & video streaming a lot.

'm using SSD as my C: drive. so, all my temporary files(win,IDM & browers) in there.

in a nutshell, temporary files/data write on disk & I got lots of temporary data being write(& delete) on daily basis.

You can try set the directory of your download client to your HDD drive, this may help I think because I'm downloading like 2gb of files everyday too.

So you guys are suggesting to put our download files in HDD instead of SSD right? SSD just purely for OS and Temp files?

Yup SSD for only OS, temp files and important programs, but I'm not sure if this helps or not. In theoretically, reduce the write data into the ssd can prolong its life.

me 'bout 10gb per day of downloaded data( streaming & downloads)

10gb is really big lol, I guess my usage cant reach that high due to slow internet speed here.
However, 2gb average is only my download client. Streaming and other temp download files like document are not counted.

I dun wan to plug-in my xternal HD 24/7.

p/s; tried to set the directory of download to SDcard but it's damn slow ( when transferring from temp dir to SDcard).
my lappy got SDcard slot.
