i know it's smaller. i just wanna know speed different compare with normal SSD

my plextor m5s all ok right? sata 3 port and sata 3 cable

Yeap, same as mine, did you fix the auto shutdown and the mouse/keyboard hang issue?

When I benchmark my friend's M5S I get lower read about 490mb/s and 220mb/s write.

It's normal, apply the benchmark again you might get yourself 510mb/s.

hahah nice trick huhu

i got 265/200 when using sata II port at mobo.

May i know the difference between mSata and Sata SSD?
Performance wise any different?

If for CPU, would it better to use Sata instead of mSata?

size - go google. mstata ssd most for lappy as cache drive

desktop ssd >msata ssd

desktop better use ssd, mobo also can use msata if got options.

If your motherboard has mSata slot it would be benefit as OS drive, then your HDD, SSHD, SSD can be as your storage

Yes. I'm using this mSata SSD as OS drive only.
Will have another HDD for other storage.

Do u mean if i want to use SSD as my OS drive, i would need to get mSATA SSD?

If you have mSata slot then get mSata as os drive
If you don't have mSata slot then use SSD as os drive

Erm, I'm new to SSD, budget around RM350
Checked the read/write speed these 3 like more worth..

Intel 330 120 GB RM 370
120GB : Read/Write = 500/450MB/s

Kingston V300 120GB RRP RM 320
120GB Value: Read/Write = 450/450MB/s

Sandisk Extreme 120 GB RM 385
120GB : Read/Write = 550/510MB/s

But these 3 using SandForce and SandForce sounds not so good after reading this thread...
Need advice man! HELP

Ok, since you have been reading this thread, I'm guessing you also know that Plextor M5S are currently reliable and best buy for now (look carefully).

As for the 3 SSD you've mentioned, besides of Intel 330 that already discontinued in some countries, the rest I think it's okay. Sandforce controller were bad in the previous SSD but now they have been some improvements ( hope so ). But lets face it, not everybody willing to gamble right?

In the end, despite all the improvements that SandForce had made, I'm still sticking with Marvell, knowing that I prefer reliability rather than performance, and not much of a benchmark enthusiast.

bro, look carefully means imitation or you mean it takes some time to get a better price?

Find a better price, some seller in Penang already increase the price ... Though I think there's still someone in LYN still selling as introductory price, that's why I said look carefully.

Hardware price are gonna increase in July , Forum sellers like lingloong and IdealTech has post the news on Facebook regarding this.

Newbie here, i has a question to ask:

Since my laptop OS was installed into 24GB SSD (limited space), issit possible to install programs to HDD partition.

Should be no problem. But the program will loading/start-up bit slower compare if install to SSD. Thats all...
