Intel SSD comes with 5 years warranty?

Am I right to say that Intel's 520 series SSD is the BEST in the market now??

Haha Got mixed up maybe cuz both also blue colour logo

Actually I'm looking for a SSD to become my main hard drive where I would be doing all my picture editing works such as Lightroom (first priority) and then Photoshop. My current 7200rpm HDD is a little slow in loading up the full 18 mega pixel RAW pictures and when I'm doing intensive batch editing it can be a little slow.

So the SSD will run my OS and I would put about 32GB worth of pictures into the SSD for editing purposes and when I'm done with it, I'll transfer it to my secondary 1TB HDD and my 2TB backup external drive..

So I'm kinda asking, is the Intel 520 series overkill for my purposes? I'm also looking at the 330 series since the read/write spead do not different by that much. I do know 330 series gives 3 years whereas 520 series gives 5 years of warranty.

And btw, read/write speed affect RAW picture loading in Lightroom 4? Also, time taken to export it to CS6....and then "saving it for the web" which now would take me ages lol

Budget around RM300-400 I guess

their warranty support is as legendary as Dell's lol

I'm going for Intel too

Intel SSD price sudah naik. Now it's RM400+ for 330 series 120GB

Sifu, nak tanya, SSD ini bagus? If compare to Intel 330 series 120GB then how?

Sudah naik price to RM379 according to Cyntrix Tech

How about like Samsung 840 or Sandisk Extreme leh?

Ya, out of stock everywhere...

I keep hearing SSD so gooding, fast and things like "once u go SSD you never look back" kind of thing, I feel have to cuba it man

If Corsair Force 120GB vs Intel 330 series 120GB vs Sandisk Extreme 120GB? Let's just put aside reliability and warranty support aside first

Jayacom sudah naik harga for their 330 series 120GB ohh. And everywhere out of shortage for Intel SSDs

Search for Intel Data Migration Software. Not sure if it can be used for non- Intel SSDs

Any reason not to go with Intel 335 series which is slightly cheaper?

That person is the one who first replied to your question bro

I think you forgot about RELIABILITY and WARRANTY SUPPORT

Hi guys, wanna ask a bit about SSDs. I noticed some SSDs like the Plextor M5Pro, Samsung 840Pro and the OCZ Vertex 4 have high IOPS values compared to Intel's SSDs. Does having much higher IOPS give significant advantage in terms of real world applications?

I'm talking about the things we do everyday like opening various programs such as browser, CS6, LR4, loading camera RAW files, loading game map, etc. How much difference is there between a 50k IOPS vs a 120k IOPS in terms of speed of launching programs or basically the general RESPONSIVENESS of applications in our Operating System?

I'm no benchmark enthusiast or anything, just a simple normal user

Care to share your views! Thanks!

SATA II vs SATA III

Try Radioshack @Borders. IIRC They're selling the Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD at RM43X.

Minimum RM30 has to be spent on books, the rest can spend at Radioshack

Plus, you get freebies like 6 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, 1 complimentary Chatime drink, Borders vouchers and many more

Borders with Radioshack inside: Gardens Mall, The Curve, Tropicana City Mall. Not sure about other cities/states.

The one I saw with the Sandisk SSD is in Gardens Mall. Not sure about other places...

Overpriced Rojak items

Gardens/Mid Valley is a bad place to hunt for niche items like SSD lol

Benchmark freaks
