If you can wait for the stuff to arrive, you may go ahead. I'll be abit worry when it comes to RMA claim. About the warranty period, i thought all corsair SSD only have 3 year term, check out the link below.

Under tech specs first thing they say is 5 years. But yeah you guys are probably right about the RMA issue, iirc newegg malaysia told me some warranties are even voided if brought out of US. I have to clarify with them first

Corsair , OCZ global warranty end user can send to Taiwan.

Before you buy any item from Newegg, make sure you ask all about the warranty of that item. Because there's an item when it shipped outside US, it will void the warranty. I already asked them (Newegg Malaysia) about Samsung product, they say Samsung didnt state any void of warranty if shipped outside US. And you must know that in order to do RMA, you need to send back the item to US which is quiet a hassle (at least for me). And you need to pay half of the cost for shipping back to US. Idk if I can do RMA through Samsung Malaysia since mine its not local unit.

If you just want to be safe, you better buy here @ local store. But you do need to fork out some money though since the price is quiet higher than offered by Newegg. But look on the bright side, you can 1-to-1 exchange if anything happen to your ssd in a week time & its easier for RMA purpose.

Alright thanks for all the reply guys. I guess it's just RMA issues for ordering newegg. It just sounded so tempting, the neutron for rm330 that comes with 5 year warranty, I had to come clear doubts

I'd probably will wait and see for a while more I'm sure SSD prices will just continue to drop and I'm in no hurry to get one until the end of the year. Also gotta wait for the neutron series reliability reviews

My new SSD drive completely killed the Diablo III stutter! No regrets shelling out the money for this baby!

guys,will ssd speed decrease too much if we use lot of space in our ssd?like using 40gb of total 60gb storage space?

Might want to e-mail corsair and ask about it before you place your payment.

Nice stuff. Mind spoiler it?
Do PM me with details if you want to be add to user list.

Possible, heard someone mention it before.

Speed is what SSD is used for. If you don't put the pagefile in a fast drive, what the use of changing to SSD?

Pagefiles are created once and usually the size remains if you have enough memory. If you're paranoid, make the pagefile size permanent. Pagefiles are mostly read only activity and would not hurt the SSD

Theoretically, no.
In practice, if your TRIM is activated then you probably won't feel the "slowness", so flip to the first page and have a look on what/how about TRIM.
Best practice is always less than 50% of the total capacity, so the SSD has space and time for the TRIM to work efficiently (IMO, correct me on this).
Always buy bigger capacity , it's getting cheaper~~

Just got my Intel SSD 520 120gb yesterday. Did a fresh install of Win 7. Running on Sata 6Gb/s port and AHI mode but my benchmark is so low.
Ran Intel SSD Toolbox and confirmed is running latest firmware.
Any idea what's wrong here?
thanks in advance

Do a benchmark with ATTO. It should be closer to the specs.

I did the test with ATTO. Yes, it looks good but why the other looks so bad and different?
This is normal?

good performance ssd under rm600+- for video encoding..will be using for laptop

Please recommend....is corsair gt OK compare to crucial M4? what about vertex 4?

thank you

Yes. The benchmark is showing 500 MB/s read/write as expected. The reason for the difference is in how the programs benchmark the SSD and how the SSD works.

CrystalDiskMark and AS-SSD uses random data when writing and reading and ATTO uses non-random data for the same tasks. SandForce-based SSDs, including Intel 330 and 520, uses data compression when reading and writing to the SSD. So SandForce-based SSDs perform poorly on incompressible random data but performs very well on compressible non-random data. This is the reason for the difference.

In short, if you want to test if your SSD is working correctly according to specifications, always use ATTO. Or some other benchmarking tool that can use compressible test data.

I installed Intel 520 180G weeks ago in my MBP 2011 running Mountain Lion. Benchmarking using Black Magic, Read speed is 445MB/s, Write is 195MB/s

I guess it is almost the same as yours. Start up & app launching speed is superb.

For video encoding, you'd want something other than a Sandforce controller.
I'd suggest a Samsung 830.

Hello Brother,
Do you know which shop at Lowyat Plaza are selling Intel 330 120G at RM310?
I plan to get one for my desktop. Thanks.
