Try to search at garage sales threads. Look for the forumer by the nickname of ronaldjoe.
I bought it for rm1.55k

I can buy it locally but its too freaking expensive here, honestly i would rather buy 2 cheap 128GB SSD then raid the hell out if it, but sadly im using AMD mobo
But then, its also too much for me as i only utilized 14% of my 256GB SSD lol, and the rest 50% still remain unpartitioned

thats why im still having second thoughts of buying it

cause im not sure if spending for an SSD is worth it

My SSD left 1**mb/60GB. Thinking of upgrading the capacity

Go a head if you got a lot of spare cash, if not, move those useless stuffs to harddisk,
Install your programs on harddisk too, but leave those essential one on SSD,
and clean up your disk, Windows always left a few Gigs of trash on our system disk.

I only installed CS6, Lightroom 4.2 & 5 and anti-virus. Not sure is it the cache hold up most of the storage

May be you should try this http://www.folder-size.com/
There are a few alternative folder analyzer but i have yet to try any of them.

want to ask,
the cheaper ssd is which brand? for 120/128 gb.
currently using intel 330 120gb ssd.
planning to get 1 for new desktop....

Thanks. Will give it a try at night

Plextor M5S 128gb ~RM299

it seems that this thread is kindda useless

does anybody here who has been posting so much about ssd's even know how the p/e ratio to host writes are tabulated?? or is it based on their personal testing??

like for instance samsung 840 pro having a 40gb host write per day.... and p/e ratios of sizes to nand life.??//

so everybody been recommending this and that without knowing this kindda important stuff abt the warranty??

just curious.

Guys,

Newbie here.
Anyone know if that is possible to add mSata/mini PCI-E SSD card to my old Dell Vostro 1520?



Thanks.

Hi ssd sifu's,

is it worth it to have mSata SSD + SSD as primary?..

currently using intel520 240 SSD on laptop..msata slot is empty ..considering to grab 128gb msata ssd..

laptop using now is lenovo y400 latest version :i7 3630qm + gt750m

maybe they refer to reviews online?

personally, i wouldnt comment on things i dont know

and i dont know half of what you mentioned

yeah cause i noticed in the warranty

the calculate the warantty example kingston hyper x 3k
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/sh103s3_en.pdf

say u get 3 years warantty or total host writes of with a (3k P/E Cycles)

120GB: 96TB / 32.768gb per day
240GB: 192TB / 65.536gb per day
480GB: 384TB / 131.072gb per day

p/e cycle means the data written on the block erased and then rewritten will constitute as 1.
so take it as moving data one time to the ssd is equal to 1 p/e cycle.

the 3k p/e cycle is the guaranteed operational cycles of the nand.

so its either 3 years or 3k p/e cycle.

samsung has one also but currently they took out from the spec sheet. it used to be 40gb per day for the 256gb 840 pro n ocz vector was at 20gb per day for a warantty period of 5 but they state 5 p/e cycle. this even more doesnt make sense. y??

so back to corsair neutron gtx. they just state the p/e cycle but not how much as the average host write per day.
theirs is at 3k.

so far kingston and intel are very clear. samsung used to be but they just state it in their warantty about the host write now and removed the 40gb part.

theres three things in ssd warantty
1. Full Years warantty
2. ure Nand P/E cycle
3. Ure host write per day.

why my question is say i do 50gb per day on the nand and then in year 1 i ask for warantty. will the smart attribute show i exceeded the daily host write limit?? while still under the p/e cycle.

hence the question.
need more clarification on the p/e cycle.
and the host write per day.

this sounds like the manufacturers are deliberately concealing the info about their products.

makes newbies on SSDs to be misguided on the lifespan of SSDs. so far i only know 1 way to reduce the SSD's lifespan which is
1) through the amount of read/write youve done the entire time which in this case is the point no .3 in your post
never knew anything about the P/E cycle

at least this proves now that higher warranty period doesnt mean more longer lasting

i also want to know the answer..
assuming both ssd have the same capacity/speed, which is better as boot drive? msata or sata?

you wanna run Raid? or?

Im not sure myself..and intel msata quite pricey..will there be any performance or any improvement having msata ssd and ssd as primary drive?

new y400 got extra slot for SSD?

im the prior one.. dun hav extra space for another ssd
