Just bought yesterday @ rm 310,,end up bought at jayacom because all shop that have intel ssd 330 sell at same price for 120GB version except viewnet at rm314,, at cycom, czone, jayacom, startec they all sell it @ rm 310.
the others shop doesn't have intel ssd afai survey yesterday.

Just migrate my os to intel 330 at my hp mini, my rig currently at my hometown,
My hp mini use Sata 3Gb/s so that the benchmark that i got, is the benchmark ok for sata2? look like too low
Just check at hp mini thread my netbook running AHCI mode and TRIM enable

Any SSD will do, preferably the highest capacity you can get for your budget. You are likely to be bottlenecked by your CPU during the transcoding, so perhaps even a good HDD will do if capacity is important enough. Then again, if your laptop has USB 3.0 or you can install a second HDD, then you can stick with an SSD in your laptop as your primary for your OS and applications.

The read performance is good, but the write performance doesn't look right.

Do you have the Intel toolkit installed? It should be able to help in diagnosing performance issues and how to solve it.

Sure no problem.

Already installed the toolkit and optimize using the optimizer, and no performance issues stated there ,,

Thanks Bro, appreciated.

Hey guys. I'm leaning towards Vertex 4 128GB right now. Same price with Samsung 830. But OCZ offer 5 years warranty. Should i go for Vertex 4 instead? I do heard OCZ released a new firmware. FW 1.5 is it? How was it now? Its my 1st ssd btw so i dont want to have a problematic hardware.

First: Think about storage mode for Vertex 4 before u buy

Second: Vertex 4 use MLC synchronous NAND

Third: i heard a lot of complain about OCZ product failure blah blah blah(i don know how true is that)

This is the reason y i don choose V4 because of the "two" mode and also cannot find at my local shop

ocz failure is based on sandforce chipset or indilinx chipset? dont mix them up and most ssd using MLC Sync. Some brand/model use Async and Toggle.

what is your budget? Intel 520 is 5 years warranty also and intel failure rate is the lowest.

guys is this result good already for an old laptop??

sata 2 port? i guess if sata2 port result like around that for read but your write is abit low, should be around 17xmb and above

ermmm like that how can i get 17xmb for write? any setting that i missed?

tweak and optimization the ssd. use the guide from the 1st page. ahci and trim enable right since your is intel chipset not sure i see correct anot.

My budget is around RM350 only. Intel 520 is way to expensive for me.
I don't really care about the speed, as long it reaches around 480MB++ then it's consider okay. The most important aspect is the reliability. I already narrow my choice for Intel 330 or Samsung 830. But Vertex 4 keeps coming to my head.

OCZ failure is bcoz of Sandforce chip .

with rm350 budget i suggest you go for intel 330 for reliability. Crucial M4 also good know for its reliability read can reach 5xxmb but write is max around 17xmb which im using now. vertex 4 giving 5 years warranty becoz of new chipset indilinx.

Oh okay thanks. I will stick with Samsung 830/Intel 330/Crucial m4. Will pick 1 of them depends on the price.

lol intel 330 is the lowest price now rm310 at lowyat.
