I still remember how I got my RAzer Black Widow Ultimate with much cheaper price (compare to Singapore) in LYN last year, I think next time I should ALWAYS hold on until go back LYN

OMFG, too tempting dy..

plan to get SSD next may, but ...

if u want 240G with this price, JUST DO IT

But Intel already stated that later will come out with 120, and 480 version for this series.

i bought my 180gb intel 330 for RM410 only @ lowyat viewnet

just ask for best price

hey, should i bought 120gb ssd or 180gb ssd? the ssd will just for os and bf3.

hmmm, went to lowyat loooking for the intel 520 480gb, none of the shops have stock. Guess garage sales is the way to go.

if you have budget, go for larger size

tight budget, smaller size

the thing is I only plan to reformat and move my PC to win8 on May. Will be putting win8 on my lappy one of these days first. so, if I get now also... no point lol

lets see the price of 240.256gb during that time from samsung and intel

an info to those planning to install or already installed windows 8 on SSD, sorry if posted before

STORAHCI had replaced MSAHCI starting from windows 8. so if you wanna check whether your AHCI is enabled and working under regedit, look for the value under STORAHCI. you won't be able to find MSAHCI

Has anyone heard of upcoming Intel DC S3700 SSD?

From what I heard it features the original controller designed by Intel.

Here's the 200 GB version review:

Good performance, for enterprise anyway, but for consumer stand point, the price tag come first. USD4xx for only 200GB of space almost feels like back to few years back where the SSD just started to bloom.

Ooh this thread is soooo tempting, after reading many many posts from you all.. I decided to buy intel 330 180GB very soon,
Going to do fresh install as many of you recommended, but jz wondering, is there anyone tried cloning windows from hdd to ssd then install again windows in ssd, this method will make windows optimise itself for ssd onot? Hahaha

fresh install is always the best option

but before that do remember to enable AHCI in your motherboard bios 1st

Well, that's because the NAND flash that Intel uses on this SSD is their own eMLC (stands for "enterprise Multi-Level Cell") NAND. If I remember, Intel 710 is even expensive than this SSD.

Always good to do a fresh install. While I admit reinstalling/updating all the softwares is a PITA!

if not mistaken i guess my AHCI is enabled in bios d..will check again.. will go and read why AHCI is a must oso

yes.. seriously.. especially we accumulated soooo many programs and settings over the years.. @@

so the current cream of the crop is this 3 ssd processors i believe

LAMD, Everest2(marvell?) and the one used in samsung 840

what interest me most now is the samsung840 series.. very fast and i believe the lowest active/idle power usage.

and sandforce has the widest availability ?? alot of ssd manufacturers adopts sandforce.

and one more thing, editing the value directly in storahci no longer works. U need to edit the value or simply delete entire "StartOverride" folder under storahci before go to bios screen.

intel 330 series 120gb now pricing at rm299
should be a very very good deal

I'm looking for 240GB version of SSD. Any brand/model recommendation?

I found Intel 335 series 240gb for RM 599.

Budget range less than rm 650.

Where to buy or buy with the kit, hard disk cloning tools. In which i don't have to reinstall OS.

Thanks
