has anybody here tried the modified OROM on p67/z68 to support raid 0??

It depends right

I was running my Intel X25ms for Seeding/Torrenting at a rate of 50gb Upload/Download ( averaging 75gb on both per day)... I tend to leave always a 50% disk space leftover to maintain a reasonable speeds..

So with the current boards with dual/triple core cpus and ddr2/ddr3 modules all passively cooled inside. How far can this last in a casing which most manufactorers nowadays for the ssd brackets on at the side of the drive bay with no active cooling???

SSD's in note paticular are the 840 pros, M5pro and Neutron GTX.

How long can these controllers last?? Gone are the days wear SSDs are used as booting drives or OS drives. Now its suppose to be a everyday multipurpose drive which the especially the 3 above series are proclaiming.

Right click on ure hdd in My computer. Check the tools tab. And just choose the drives u want to auto defrag. Better turn off defrag entirely and defrag manually any drives u want.

Yeah bro tell me abt it. I feel like tau pauing the whole overclocker.net. All reviewer quoters n newbs. Seems the issue of payola and blind leading the blind getting worst.

On ssd a lot of reviews dont even state the new tech on corsair neutron gtx i/o consistency that rivals enterprise makes. On that note the sandforce still better than marvell , samsung and toshiba nand controllers. Only issue seems to be the degrading factor.

Really thought current pricing now seems cheaper

Used to pay Rm800 for 80gb just a year ++ ago. while now u can get a m5s 128gb for rm299??

Read below. No idea where u got that idea. Hardwares are actually cheaper compared to previous gen offering. On all aspect.. Cpu, mobo, ram, psu, gc, only thing unchanged is casing n fans. N hdd has returned to normal levels but externals now are cheaper than ever.

+1

y?? it was cheaper than the gen before.

its always getting cheaper.

U do know theres a few force 3 versions right.

no servers etc. not to be define as company. they require long term reliability. todays performance same as tommorows

depends on ure ssd's i/o consistency and nand degrade

on commercial units
no.1 is neutron gtx ( heck its almost as good as enterprise units)(pricey and performance not as good as sandforce (with nand) or samsungs or marvel on writes/reads)
no.2 sandforce (but has nand degrade issues)

nah dont worry too much

i run torrents off my ssd about 20gb D and 50gb U a day for the last 2 years on x25m Raid 0 x 3. Estimated life remaining so far at 80 percent and the read/write array on trim just dropped slightly

host writes on
SSD 1. 14.46tb
SSD 2. 13.88tb
SSD 3. 14.25tb

so no worries.

use it till it dies lol.

hmm think u guys dont move much data/unrar etc..

SSD is a must for me. if not WD will bottleneck lol when i unrar a few files while torrenting to reseed to another tracker.

Ok here is the thing WD blacks require active cooling especially the current gen. They run hot.

SSD's now are better than ever and they can handle multi tasking. Hence where on I/O consistency the sandforce beats marvel, samsung. Meaning i would trust my torrent rig with sandforce rather than marvel and samsung controllers. However since the use of nand's sandforce degrades.

The only one top of the line that is very good at this is Neutron GTX which is what corsair is marketing as multi tasking heavy use. Its also good for some light server loads so far. Its enterprise grade on I/O consisntecy and the nand doesnt degrade.

Its no hours dude.
N the life is based on number of writes.

do u see a normalize value..
so nope.
not important.

Hmm but with z68 and above u can use the intel ssd cache tech. So just buy a smaller ssd and a larger hdd and it will do a hybrid like solution with ahci.

hey just want to ask.
i couldnt find an answer to this.

most vendors like samsung/crucial/ocz/kingston/sandisk etc will have a warantty in years but more importantly a p/e cycle and a daily host write.

for corsair neutron gtx its 5 years with p/e cycle of 3000. so whats the daily data limit or full host write limit.

it seems that this thread is kindda useless

does anybody here who has been posting so much about ssd's even know how the p/e ratio to host writes are tabulated?? or is it based on their personal testing??

like for instance samsung 840 pro having a 40gb host write per day.... and p/e ratios of sizes to nand life.??//

so everybody been recommending this and that without knowing this kindda important stuff abt the warranty??

just curious.

yeah cause i noticed in the warranty

the calculate the warantty example kingston hyper x 3k
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/sh103s3_en.pdf

say u get 3 years warantty or total host writes of with a (3k P/E Cycles)

120GB: 96TB / 32.768gb per day
240GB: 192TB / 65.536gb per day
480GB: 384TB / 131.072gb per day

p/e cycle means the data written on the block erased and then rewritten will constitute as 1.
so take it as moving data one time to the ssd is equal to 1 p/e cycle.

the 3k p/e cycle is the guaranteed operational cycles of the nand.

so its either 3 years or 3k p/e cycle.

samsung has one also but currently they took out from the spec sheet. it used to be 40gb per day for the 256gb 840 pro n ocz vector was at 20gb per day for a warantty period of 5 but they state 5 p/e cycle. this even more doesnt make sense. y??

so back to corsair neutron gtx. they just state the p/e cycle but not how much as the average host write per day.
theirs is at 3k.

so far kingston and intel are very clear. samsung used to be but they just state it in their warantty about the host write now and removed the 40gb part.

theres three things in ssd warantty
1. Full Years warantty
2. ure Nand P/E cycle
3. Ure host write per day.

why my question is say i do 50gb per day on the nand and then in year 1 i ask for warantty. will the smart attribute show i exceeded the daily host write limit?? while still under the p/e cycle.

hence the question.
need more clarification on the p/e cycle.
and the host write per day.

new 530 and 535 are coming pretty soon.

dude m5pro extreme is overated..

for me its either u go for
1.Corsair force GS - high read and write - Sandforce
2.Corsair Neutron GTX/Sandisk Extreme II/Seagate 600 Pro - I/O consistency on enterprise grade level - LAMD
3.Samsung 840 pro - Awesome in everyway imaginable - Samsung own in house everything their own.
4.OCZ Vector - Highest Read Performance on 4k - Indilinx
5.Crucial M500 - Good performance go GB value .. day to day. - Marvell.
6.Samsung 840 - TLC - Overall good day to day performance - Samsung ( leader in tlc atm)

i really dont see where the m5pro extreme fits. seriously. and i am against it solely cause it looks like crap and even the box looks like crap.
