it depends on your usage really

for casual users who arent speed sensitive, a normal 3 year one like Plextor M5S, Intel 330 etc should be fine

but for those enthusiasts who wants more out of their money, they opt for those higher ends like Intel 520, OCZ Vertex 4, Samsung 840 Pro and so on

but really, the 5 year warranty is good

PS: bear in mind the Intel 335 is 9mm thick instead of 7mm thick. so it may or may not fit inside your notebook

thanks for the tips.

all the while i thought any 2.5 SSD would fit into a notebook chassis.

in the meantime while waiting for the new Y500 series, i was hoping intel could release SSD with bigger capacity, 240G is kinda low and the 480G is crazy expensive

SSD compared to last time, its way cheaper already (based on price to GB ratio)

couple of years back my friend bought his 160GB SSD at RM800-1000

but its still surviving till today, really durable

Does anyone sell Crucial M500 960GB in forum.lowyat or anywhere in Malaysia? Thinking of buying one

Not available yet I think. 480gb version is ready, saw the post from Czone in facebook.

plextor m5s 128gb below RM300 is the best buy now? or abit more get the samsung 840?

840 using TLC NAND, dont think its worth it

Better get MLC NAND SSDs

Plus one, unless you got a lot of cash/adventurous , dont bother with performance SSD if you are just normal user, you cant tell the difference between high end SSD and mainstream one, unless comparing them with benchmark software,
even if you could, they are probably just a few second faster.

Be smart, tweak the msconfig and windows services to disable unused programs to reduce boot time.

makes me feel abit guilty..

im kinda enticed to buy a Samsung 840 Pro.. but im just a casual user

viewnet from lowyat quote me $740 for the 240G intel SSD.

very tempted to purchase since 335 series is kinda out of stock in most of the shop.

my concern is will it fit into my new Lenovo Y500 notebook

Just use msata instead

brought the 520 series already

install and working properly on my Y500 notebook

some people have plenty of time, my advice, you may start to slow down on 9gag
plus, you are too paranoid because thinking that it will slipped, dropped, EM discharged, bla bla and so on . that bay of course it just for a single drive. i am using single drive which is 1TB of size. it just sit there for a year and sometime being ejected out to give a way to another drive to get into it.

if you need more, you may want to use this: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Orico-Har...ml#xtor=RSS-998 that will fit with your "6 drives". look at the left! it has 10! you still have 4 extra!

its brand is orico. it has power button so that you can disconnect the drive via 'safely remove hardware' and power off the bay without having to eject the drive to disconnect the power. there are many bay in the market but they did not have power button. user need to eject the drive to cut off the power.

Where did u buy it?
I'm looking for hdd bay, stacked, like yours. Too many 3.5" hdd laying around. =.=

i just got a new DELL ladtop and i just replaced the HDD with a new Plextor M5S 128GB SSD and did a fresh install of Win 8 on it. I seperate the SSD into 2 partitions of ~ 60GB each. after installing Win8, OS C Drive is ok.
but i have missing D Drive now. what should i do?

You can try allocate it by following this steps:
Right Click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk management

You will see the list of Partition that are available, the other 60gb that not allocated. Right click it to allocate the capacity u want.

Thanks a bunch! problem solved. wonder why when installing Windows 8 didn't help me to format it and assign drive letter to it automatically :S
thanks!

Maybe at the time u divide the partition u forgot to format the other half one before installing win8.
Anyway, good to see the problem solved.

Hi , i have problem after installed window 8 into plextor m5p ssd. When logging to starting page then after few second the report saying "Your PC ran into a problem. This problem caused your PC to restart. If kept come out this messege until third time restart then only stop. I''m not sure what problem. Any help?

To all the sifus here. Is the new Seagate SS Hybrid Hard-Drive worth the money? It's 1TB and the price isn't much different from a Western D Black. Considering it.
