Ask me about my vore fettish Senior Member 1,838 posts Joined: Jun 2008 From: The Grid	Official SSD Discussion Thread Introduction QUOTE A solid-state drive (SSD) (sometimes improperly referred to as a "solid-state disk" or "electronic disk") is a data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives. SSDs do not employ any moving mechanical components, which distinguishes them from traditional magnetic disks such as hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks, which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read/write heads. Compared with electromechanical disks, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, are silent, and have lower access time and latency, but are, at 2011 market prices, more expensive per unit of storage. The prices have continued to decline in 2012. SSDs share the I/O interface technology developed for hard disk drives, thus permitting simple replacement for most applications. As of 2010, most SSDs use NAND-based flash memory, which retains data without power. For applications requiring fast access, but not necessarily data persistence after power loss, SSDs may be constructed from random-access memory (RAM). Such devices may employ separate power sources, such as batteries, to maintain data after power loss. Hybrid drives combine the features of SSDs and HDDs in the same unit, containing a large hard disk drive and an SSD cache to improve performance of frequently accessed data. These devices may offer near-SSD performance for many applications.

Did you reinstall your OS or just copied your old OS from your 1TB to your SSD? I think you should run your SSD off your X58 board even if it's only SATA II.

The 330 series is still 3 year warranty. Price wise, both the Intel 330 120 GB and Crucial M4 128 GB SSDs are about the same.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN Senior Member 2,451 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: GOD's Land	QUOTE(jchue73 @ Aug 17 2012, 01:50 PM) Did you check what motherboard (and hence if he's using onboard controller) the guy in the video with the Intel 520 SSD was using? Was it on a fresh OS install? What brand is your SATA III card? Did you reinstall your OS or just copied your old OS from your 1TB to your SSD? I think you should run your SSD off your X58 board even if it's only SATA II. Your benchmarks look quite decent and as you can see, the bootup times don't mean a thing. 5 year warranty applies to the more expensive 520 series. The 330 series is still 3 year warranty. Price wise, both the Intel 330 120 GB and Crucial M4 128 GB SSDs are about the same. The guy in the video is using the same brand of motherboard as mine (see my signature) and he is using the ICH10R onboard SATA II port only. Yeah I cloned my existing OSX from my HDD to SSD. Yeah I know that the benchmark showed that the result is quite decent. I should have bought Intel 520... Anyway here is the video I mentioned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ympTJROhlH8...player_embedded

Ask me about my vore fettish Senior Member 1,838 posts Joined: Jun 2008 From: The Grid	Intel’s TRIM Support for RAID Coming to X79 ‘Soon’ QUOTE When Intel finally announced TRIM support for systems using RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 setups, users with multiple SSDs and Intel motherboards couldn’t have been happier. Before this, TRIM was available for SSDs but only when single drives were used outside of a RAID environment. The Rapid Storage Technology (RST) 11.2 driver update was rolled out to the public but the initial positive response was somewhat tempered when enthusiasts realized their X79 systems weren’t supported. Only P67, Z68, Z77, H67, H77, Q67 and Q77 chipsets are certified, which tends to leave some Intel’s highest paying clients (enthusiasts and power users) out in the cold so to speak. Current RSTe drivers specific to X79 do NOT support TRIM on RAID 0, but an updated RST driver version coming soon will add support for X79 based systems, including the TRIM on RAID 0 feature. Note that on client 7-series chipsets (non X79), RST driver version 11.0 and beyond supports TRIM on RAID 0. -Intel http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/storag...ng-soon-to-x79/

I disagree on the bold part, as you could see there are actually many resellers for 520s HERE I got no one else to blame but myself. I didn't do much research on the pricing, let alone reading this thread. I was only referring to czone's pricelist for Vertex3 240GB and came across the same model having a 'sale' at amazon uk around 150 pounds. Then I came to know that the price I paid is similar to what LYN seller's offering at trade zone , and worse, just realized about Vertex 3 failure rate. Fingers crossed. I hope mine is ok. No problem so far. Price of Vertex 3 240GB and Intel 520 240GB doesn't differs much I see.. but both are quite expensive compared to the popular M4. If I knew, I would have bought the 520 instead. lol

I updated a HWSensor app which installed the new plugins for FakeSMC. I did not regret that I have bought this Intel 330 60GB (got it for RM215). Most of my apps instantly load up especially Photoshop CS6 and MS Office suite.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	Changed strategy. Decided to get 120GB first for my work laptop, then when price cheaper I'll migrate my ssd on my laptop as my desktop , then purchase bigger ssd for my laptop. Bought a USB to SATA converter as well, for future use and troubleshooting tool. Benchmark numbers don't matter as much to me as real world performance. Got the 120GB intel 330 today and will post results later tonight once migration is done. What I really want out of ssd is fast seek times when I search for a specific email within my archived email of over 2 years on my outlook pst file. Which is now over size of 12GB First annoyance: Unable to migrate only one partition to new ssd. They did include a "powerful yet simple" Acronis Data Migration Tool for intel SSDs but it doesnt allow you to be very flexible. Just resize partition and migrate. Cannot delete partition.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	I take back what I said about Acronys. There IS a utility do delete partitions. It's not under the start now button but listed under "more tools" as a separate utility. It's called DriveCleanser. Confusing. Cakapla something like "deletes partitions" under descriptions. Siao. Oh and updated with results : Laptop specs : Dell Latitude E6400 Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 / 2.53 GHz SATA II 3Gbps Controller 2GB DDR2 SDRAM Real world tests summary: From cold boot it hit the desktop screen in 24 seconds, startup programs operational ~30 seconds. Most importantly, seek times for outlook email searches for my email archive of 12GB spanning over 2 years, took a drastic improvement of a maximum of only 2 seconds maximum to search; often giving search results instantaneously. ABSOLUTELY.SICK. All the trouble to get this was worth it! Outlook 2007 took 3 seconds to do first start up from cold boot. 1-2 seconds for subsequent openings. Oh and here's some numbers. I know we aren't pushing this baby to its 6Gbps limit, but hey it doesnt matter to me. This is already awesome. This post has been edited by slickz: Aug 23 2012, 06:47 AM

Yes, it makes "old" notebooks workable again. Note that the 6Gbps limit is only reached during synthetic benchmarks. In real world operation, no difference between SATA II and SATA III and would probably not hit the limit of SATA II even.

Stars deez nuts. Senior Member 4,522 posts Joined: Apr 2006	The Corsair Neutron series isn't really such a bad SSD. If only its price can be lower ($10-$20 lower in fact), I think it could be a good new direction for Corsair. Will be keeping an eye on its reliability and any issues over the next few months though.

Overall I recog it as a big leap upgrade, even surfing web using Safari 6 is a lot faster than Safari 6 in Lion at 500G HDD. I still keep my bootcamp in 500GB HDD, but it is really crawling as compared to ML in SSD. The choice is yours.

Yeah, bought over by SK Hynix already. But LinkA still has their branding over their products, it's not a whole swallow take over where even the name changes. Maybe in a year's time, we'll have Hynix controller on the mainstream market.

For games which are texture heavy where the engine renders everything in real-time (not a pre-load), an SSD will help significantly. These are games like RAGE, GTA4, and Skyrim. For games which loads the whole level on the RAM before the start like the COD or Battlefield games, you'd probably shave a couple of seconds here and there (depending on the level load) over normal HDD. But not a huge difference really.

If you are dealing with big chunks of file then go for the fastest SSD but if you're using it for normal boot drive and open up applications, in real world environment any SSD won't make a difference.

If you count 2 seconds being a difference then yeah... I guess that's the difference, in terms of boot up speed. Setting a script to open all my most used programs when Windows start — Chrome, PS6, Sony Vegas 11, StaxRip, Steam and loading the usual drivers — my Samsung 830 > Agilty 3 by roughly 3~4 seconds, give or take. For games load time, I can't test that as my Agility 3 is only 60GB in size and it's already touching 50GB in space used. So no space for installing games there and compare it with the 830. But I reckon, the difference wouldn't be any more than 2 seconds either way.

Okay, the first main issue for LAMD drives now is that we don't know how reliable it is. Whether if firmware issues will bog the drive down or not in the near future, since it's only been released, we can't get enough feedback yet. I'm not trying to defend Corsair, but the positive thing is that they don't like having any bad track records in their history of products. Corsair learnt their lesson with their Force 3 and Force GT drives, jumping onto the SF bandwagon too quickly. They did their homework for their Performance Pro SSDs, but too bad they cost too much in comparison to other Marvell SSDs and isn't readibly available in most regions. Didn't really took off. So with their new Neutron drives, I think they're really trying to put all of those behind them and hopefully change their face around like how OCZ did with their Vertex 4. Depending on the price, I think if you can secure a good deal then why not? Bringing some in wouldn't be a bad idea.

Senior Member 892 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: 1' from the Screen	QUOTE(tot31 @ Aug 27 2012, 11:38 PM) I would say Samsung 830 will be a slight faster or you can't feel the difference between them. If you are dealing with big chunks of file then go for the fastest SSD but if you're using it for normal boot drive and open up applications, in real world environment any SSD won't make a difference. QUOTE(SSJBen @ Aug 28 2012, 12:54 AM) If you count 2 seconds being a difference then yeah... I guess that's the difference, in terms of boot up speed. Setting a script to open all my most used programs when Windows start — Chrome, PS6, Sony Vegas 11, StaxRip, Steam and loading the usual drivers — my Samsung 830 > Agilty 3 by roughly 3~4 seconds, give or take. For games load time, I can't test that as my Agility 3 is only 60GB in size and it's already touching 50GB in space used. So no space for installing games there and compare it with the 830. But I reckon, the difference wouldn't be any more than 2 seconds either way. Thank you, sifus. Guess i'll stick to my Agility 3 for now...prolly till SSD drop rock bottom prices then only time for upgrade!

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,591 posts Joined: Feb 2008	If the only reason you want to buy a good SATA 6.0 Gb/s motherboard is to pair it with your SATA 6.0 GB/s SSD, then you probably should not do it. In fact, if you have a better use for your money, then you should not do it. Not only is replacing the motherboard a lot of work, as you need to dismantle your rig to do it, the typical usage performance gain is rather little. If you have budget issues, it would be best to wait until you replace your CPU as well.

Regular Senior Member 1,620 posts Joined: Oct 2010	I'm noob about SSD. While browsing, it seems Intel 330 120 is the cheapest SSD one can buy. But I read something about sandforce issue. Other option are Crucial M4. However, reason I want to go for SSD: 1. Get rid of annoying Diablo III lag 2. Faster windows 7 boot up Budget around RM380. Anyone can recommend value for money with balance performance? Thanks.

Anyone can recommend value for money with balance performance? Thanks. 1. Getting an SSD won't remove your D3 lag. D3 loads its entire level onto your RAM, doesn't stream from HDD/SSD unlike games such as Skyrim or RAGE. 2. Good choice. The Intel 330 is using Sandforce controller, but Intel's firmware has been pretty solid for it thus far. Don't have to worry too much. So I'd still recommend an Intel 330 for your budget, otherwise the Crucial M4 is always a good alternative pick. QUOTE(Isolation @ Sep 3 2012, 12:48 AM) Hey guys, im new to SSD.

I don't expect any significant FPS improvement but faster loading is a welcome improvement, that along with Windows 7 performance. Also, if SSD has nothing to do with Diablo III, then what about that video?

Since that SSD drives are quite good in reading and writing speed, is it good to use it to store Windows pagefile or Linux swap? some says good, some says it'll worsen and shorten the lifespan of the SSD. if it is good, I'm going to buy a small and good SSD for my gaming rig.

Storing pagefile on SSD won't shorten its lifespan by much (if at all, really). But realistically, you're just gonna store 512mb - 1024mb... just for programs that uses pagefile, for stability. Doesn't make a difference really.

Intel = Reliability + 3 Years Warranty.

Go straight a larger capacity if you does not care about bandwidth. RAID0 if you needs the performance that it delivers (twice the bandwidth of one), others such as access time remain the same, Windows might boot up just 1~2 seconds faster.

Hahaha !) Bandwidth "hunger" applications such as video encoding and huge graphics rendering require high storage speed will benefit from RAID0, cause it'll double the bandwidth. Take an example normal Intel 330 is 480MB/s (could be higher), double it will reach more than 900MB/s for sequential read/write speed. Or maybe a high I/O server will benefit from the increased I/O as RAID0 increases that as well. In the end, it's all about bandwidth for RAID0, access time still pretty much unchanged, cause it's so darn fast already.

I'd stick with the Samsung 830 if I were you. RM335 for a Samsung 830 128GB is a very good deal, I don't see why you'd want to save RM20 to get an Intel 330 instead. Considering when (even if you don't need it) the Samsung 830 > Intel 330 in performance.

Plus shipping to malaysia thats only about rm325 more or less, whereas local vendors are selling these, except the intel 330, around rm360-400. So would it be recommended to just ship in from u.s because it sounds like a very good deal? In fact as of right now the OCZ vertex 4 is going for only 99usd from the rrp of 139usd. Also according to corsair's websites it offers 5 year warranty but the garage sale posts only offer 3 years for their neutrons (not the gtx), is that just because we're Malaysia?

You can ship from Newegg. Intel 330 can be bought for as low as RM310 in LowYat Plaza now btw, not RM360-RM400. The thing with getting from Newegg is, certain manufacturers require that you send your product back to the place of origin for any warranty purposes. Not everyone provides global warranty. The Corsair Neutron comes with 3 years warranty, the Neutron GTX comes with 5 years. No difference from us and the rest of the world.

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. This post has been edited by ketapang: Sep 6 2012, 11:15 PM

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

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~~

This is normal? 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'd suggest a Samsung 830.

On my way Senior Member 665 posts Joined: Mar 2010	hello to all sifus, need your help on buying my ssd. i've been brooding on this for days and come down to intel 520 - sf controller (5yrs) samsung 830 - samsung own controlle? (3yrs?) vertex 4 - indilinx (5yrs) sandisk extreme - sf controller (3yrs) all for 240/256gb i've seen huge lots of review based intel 520, samsung 830 and vertex 4. Not sure about sandisk though. Has anyone had any issue with sandisk? im more incline to sandisk due the price for the ssd is really cheap comparing with intel 520, minus the 5years vertex 4 is still quite pricey so any take on these ssd? your input on this matter is really appreciated

Only ATTO is acceptable because they use compressible data. As for the lower write speed, that seems correct for 60GB SSDs.

hhhoooiii!!! Senior Member 1,412 posts Joined: Jun 2005	hi guys, ever after i switch to ssd(intel 330 120gb), i'm bugged by 1 issue. Sometimes i won't able to boot to windows , it will give me error 0x00000e9 I/O error. I faced this issue a few times already. Previously i solve it by formatting it (yes i know its a dumb move), but sometimes this issue will still come back somehow. Tried to fix the windows startup, doesn't work as well. Recently i found another way to temporarily solve it which is boot without other hard disk(just boot with ssd connected only). Below are my pc spec Win 7 ultimate 64bit 2x4gb ddr3 1333mhz Intel 330 120gb WD Caviar Black 1tb Seagate 160gb dvd-rw rom ATi HD6950 1GB Silverstone strider 560w Hope sifu can help This post has been edited by darude87: Sep 10 2012, 11:28 AM

(its quite a bit considering there are SSD's with 60GB capacity selling for couple of hundreds) fyi, i already deleted the Hybernation function which is supposed to free up some space... when i check under Disk Management (Computer Management) i found: so there's 5 partition EFI System Partition = 200MB Primary Partition = 4GB Recovery Partition = 25GB C Partition = 161GB D Partition = 286GB this gives a total of 476GB which is 36GB losses (and acceptable i guess) my machine is Asus and i've already created the recovery disk (5xDVD) on day 0. my questions: 1) What is the 4GB "Primary Partition" & 25GB Recovery Partition? 2) Can i delete the Recovery Partition & free up expensive 25GB? 3) is it normal to have 30+ GB of losses? i did a bit of googling and found mixed answers. some say u need the recovery partition and some say u dont since already created recovery disks. thanks for reading! help/advise/answers much appreciated!

Manual installation involve only Windows setup disk and not the factory recovery disk. 3) 512,000,000,000 bytes advertised, divide by 1024 (3 times) and you get around 476GB. Still can't understand this? Remember the HDD space lost theory? It's the very same thing. Note: Manual installation also require you to DIY all the drivers and Asus bloat-ware that usually come with the recovery disk. Drivers are easy to find nowadays, as long as you have Internet.

Serves me quite good,purchased yesterday =P 5years warranty is the best part hahahaa The five years warranty isn't a good deal. Three years ago, in September 2009, the first-generation OCZ Vertex 120GB (Indilynx controller, before the SandForce controller) SATA 3.0 Gb/s cost RM 1,599. In 2010, the first-generation Intel SSD X25-M 160GB was going for RM 1,850. Today, an Intel 330 120GB (SandForce controller) SATA 6.0 Gb/s costs only RM 310. In two more years, I expect a 120GB SSD to go under RM 150, perhaps even under RM 100, if the capacity remains available in the market. Three years from now, you might go out and buy a 480GB SSD for maybe less than RM300. Five years from now? Who knows. Or to look at it in another way, the first generation Intel SSD, the X25-M, also had a five year warranty and it was first released in around August 2008. Meaning that these SSDs would start to have their warranties expire next year. If Intel will still have replacement X25-Ms in stock and you own a hypothetical X25-M that fails next year, will you bother going through the RMA process or would you just go and buy a cheap, modern and high-performance SSD? Then again, if you typically have rather old components in your computer, maybe it was a good deal for you.

Since i'm still using the so called "old i7 920 with 4.2ghz" i'm contented with such a ssd. Eventually i don't really care about the pricing of those,since i know that the expand of the SSD would be much. But do you know that,during the time that you already had problems and warranty,that time they have a better capacity of SSD,they would replace a newer drive. Why? 5 years warranty i don't really care lol. Good deal or not,not my problem,as long as i am happy with the SSD. Eventually, don't forget that you have mentioned that "warranty starts to expire next year" is not a valid sentence. Why? Cards who gives 5 years warranty such as ZOTAC, is still valid, Why?, even though the market doesn't sell GTX295 anymore,they will replace with a newer card. Which do you think it's a better deal then? QUOTE(jepertine90 @ Sep 15 2012, 05:57 PM) well i just care about the reliability of the sdd.. intel is the way to go.. True,i've heard alot of things about intel, still it's SF controller for 330 and 520. So not really sure. Heard about reliability of crucial m4 as well.. hmm

Why? Cards who gives 5 years warranty such as ZOTAC, is still valid, Why?, even though the market doesn't sell GTX295 anymore,they will replace with a newer card. Which do you think it's a better deal then? True,i've heard alot of things about intel, still it's SF controller for 330 and 520. So not really sure. Heard about reliability of crucial m4 as well.. hmm Even in that case, the cheaper and shorter warranty item is still the better deal, because you get the option to replace ageing hardware sooner. With a five year warranty, you'll have to keep using it for two years longer in order to maximise your 'investment'. Whereas with a three year warranty, you can keep on using your SSD until it dies of old age or you can replace it with a newer model of your choice if you need more capacity or speed. QUOTE(ukimaro @ Sep 16 2012, 08:40 PM) Hey guys may I know whether an ssd deliver most of it's performance combining with an old am3 socket board that only has sata 2 ports? Thanks Yes, it will still deliver most of its performance. The primary advantage of SSDs is in its access time, and consequently the very high random read/write speeds, not the even higher sequential read/write speeds. SATA 3.0 Gb/s will not bottleneck this very high random read/write speeds as they are still less than 250 MB/s. QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Sep 16 2012, 08:56 PM) Hey guys,im using a lenovo y580 notebook.

And how many gb should i get?probably gona just load in my os,a few games and a few programmes.. I would recommend the Intel 330 series for a good balance between cost, capacity, reliability, availability and ease of warranty. Since you are keeping your HDD in the ODD bay, a 60 GB SSD will be enough if your budget is very tight. Otherwise I would recommend either a 120 GB or 180 GB for more flexibility and much better bang for buck. The 120 GB has 100% more capacity but costs only ~54% more than the 60 GB.

(in year 2012) It depends on how big your applications and games get. Laptop HDDs tend to be under-performers (because they need to reduce power consumption and heat generated) so I would prefer to store them on the SSD. The 120 GB would be a better buy for most people because of this and it does simplify things by quite a bit - you don't have to worry about the cramped storage space in a 60 GB SSD, unless all your applications, games and future usage will comfortably fit within 55 GiB. I say 55 GiB because 60 GB = 60,000,000,000 bytes = 55.87 GiB. Windows internally uses GiB despite using the GB label. This is the reason your 500 GB HDD has only 465.66 GiB of actual capacity. As for near future price drops, I don't know. I haven't kept up-to-date on the manufacturer road maps. This post has been edited by everling: Sep 17 2012, 02:23 PM

As long as it doesn't go above 55c for long periods of time (and by this, I mean days) then there shouldn't be any problems at all. If possible, you can wait until the end of the year (Nov-Dec) for another rather substansial price drop by most manufacturers. 120/128GB SSDs under RM300 is a given.

Thanks in advance The RAID0 with another Agility 3 will be faster in this case, much faster in fact. But if you aren't going to use it for the applications that utilizes that much sequential speed, then I'd suggest you don't bother at all. More over, you only have 60GB of space... and most applications that needs the speed requires a much larger amount of space. And finally, no — you aren't going to feel much of a difference in normal usage between RAID0 and the Vertex 4.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,496 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(everling @ Sep 15 2012, 05:33 PM) Or to look at it in another way, the first generation Intel SSD, the X25-M, also had a five year warranty and it was first released in around August 2008. Meaning that these SSDs would start to have their warranties expire next year. If Intel will still have replacement X25-Ms in stock and you own a hypothetical X25-M that fails next year, will you bother going through the RMA process or would you just go and buy a cheap, modern and high-performance SSD? If you could afford it and had to have the latest and greatest at that time, I guess the price could be justified. Don't think Intel still has the X25-M in stock to give you a replacement drive. You'd probably get a 330 or 320 replacement which is quite good lah. QUOTE(everling @ Sep 15 2012, 05:33 PM) Then again, if you typically have rather old components in your computer, maybe it was a good deal for you. Yes, you got a point. 5 years in the computer world is AGES. QUOTE(everling @ Sep 17 2012, 01:47 PM) Even in that case, the cheaper and shorter warranty item is still the better deal, because you get the option to replace ageing hardware sooner. With a five year warranty, you'll have to keep using it for two years longer in order to maximise your 'investment'. Whereas with a three year warranty, you can keep on using your SSD until it dies of old age or you can replace it with a newer model of your choice if you need more capacity or speed. Depends on how much that extra two years of warranty cost. If it's too much extra, I would just take the 3 year warranty and be done with it. A little side track, all this talk about extended warranty reminds me of an incident I encountered... I got an Acer 1410 laptop in late 2009 and paid extra two years warranty from Harvey Norman (total 3 years). Then as recent as 2 months ago, the motherboard kaput just before the 3 years warranty was up. Called HN and sent it in for them to take a look and thought they would write it off and give me a new replacement... But then they managed to get Acer to replace the motherboard. So it's back to original now and I can say that I'm happy to be covered but even though a little bitter sweat that I could not get a new Sandy Bridge laptop as replacement. Oh, to get this back on topic, I have a 128GB Crucial M4 in that Acer. QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Sep 17 2012, 01:53 PM) Is 60gb enough to pair with my 500gb hdd?

Or... set it as a drive to install games only (assuming he plays games that is). 60GB alone without any OS should be more than enough for 4 or 5 games at a time. More even, depending on what is installed.

Btw around 80+ ssd i sold only RMAed 1 unit... that is Vertex 4 128gb..but not because controller faulty, buyer fried his PC kena thunder or something.. with other component also. For OCZ / Corsair will take 2 weeks for RMA...if Samsung maybe 3 weeks to 1 month.

Regular Senior Member 1,447 posts Joined: Mar 2006	I got myself an Intel 330 i install it into my x51 and make it the first boot drive since i want to boot win 7 on it. So the first few days of the install everything is fine. Run fast and smooth. But then a week later i start experiencing the window 7 when browsing internet will freeze for few second than back to normal. So check online and saw some ppl said it was due to the hdd power down. I did some diagnostics myself. Notice that when i pull out the SATA cable for my secondary hdd (the original 1TB hdd in x51) they were no freezing problem. Read online that it was because the Windows having the memory paging thing that make used of all the available hdd causing the problem. So i did the setting, the freezing situation did seem to be abit better than before, now only freeze once in awhile. But still i think it is really weird to have such problem. I could get freeze during playing a game for 5 - 10 sec than resume back. And the game wasnt even install in the SSD but on my secondary hdd. Pro sifu here, can you guys give me some guidance on what is the problem.

Usually so called "green" HDDs does this to "consume" power, that's why you are experiencing the sudden freezing. Just turn off all your power consumption options, by that I also mean disable hibernating, don't turn off HDD, no auto standby, etc. You're running a desktop, not a laptop. So, no need for any power savings. It makes no sense as the consumption is too little to be saving you any electric bills.

But damn it wasnt. Check lots of forum online today, will try the disable hdd into hibernation again.

At first planning to buy Intel 320 for it's relative cheapness (with reliability) before Crucial but this; 8MB Bug AFTER Firmware Update Changed my decision altogether. :/ Y'know, with the sudden up's and down's of Kota Kinabalu's unreliable electricity grid, having a 8MB afterwards is an uhh, unpleasing experience indeed. Consumer based SSD is still at it's infancy, but the temptation of speedy apps, oh! Oh ya Crucial gonna release a new firmware for their SSD later this week, just a thumbs up.

Read/Write performance still important if your are transferring large files across devices. Access time is pretty much what SSDs are all about but the difference with 320 and 330 series is not very far in real world performance
