QUOTE(little_orc @ Mar 8 2013, 02:16 PM) I'm using an old amd mobo gigabyte 890gpa-ud3h now, is this mobo support newer version SSD like samsung 840 pro? I couldn't find any review or details in the gigabyte website:( New SSD are still backward compatible. But it will not be fully utilized due to limited bandwidth by sata 3.0gb/s port.Doesn't want to spend another thousand ringgit to upgrade proc + mobo |

QUOTE(infrasonic @ Mar 27 2013, 04:11 PM) err...any idea how fast can i boot up my pc if i add ssd to my rig? There's a simple tip to reduce the boot time slightly by canceling most of the startup programs and some services.currently it takes like 1min+ after i installed many things on it, used to be less than 1 min when i first formatted it.. 1. Click Window logo icon 2. type "msconfig" 3. click services 4. click hide all microsoft services 5. manually disable some the services that not in use (if unsure, just dun bother it and skip to the next step) 6. click startup and disable those programs that u dun want them to load in starting window. |

QUOTE(infrasonic @ Mar 27 2013, 07:37 PM) seriously? Hope that might help you for the moment before getting a ssd size doesn't matter right? just the speed.. if say i just install os and some software i always use in ssd, others i rarely use i put in hdd so i get ssd that's less than 100gb (cant afford too big de..), will i still get the same boot time? haha, only managed to stop 2 programs.. Well the speed of ssd less than 10 sec i seriously doubt too. My boot time is only around 30sec, from the moment of pressing power button till I see my window with everything loaded. all ssd size at 2.5" mostly, except msata. As long as u dont get old gen ssd then the speed will be significantly faster than HDD. |

QUOTE(Holyjolly @ Apr 7 2013, 01:40 AM) Owh. sorry i am new to SSD family. so which BIOS is fastest for your knowledge? I don't feel much difference of the SSD when comparing to HDD....@.@ so how long you took? OS, essential drivers and programs installed in SSD. Games/other applications u may install on ssd if it got many free space and u want the games load faster.How you manage your SSD? pure window on the SSD? how about those application software like adobe reader, intel stuff, graphic card tuner, motherboard tuner those stuffs? if I install frequently played games like dota2 on SSD, it will load faster? How to optimize SSD and prolong its life? |

QUOTE(Holyjolly @ Apr 7 2013, 02:58 AM) Regarding the categories: user, libraries (documents, music, pictures, videos) is under C: drive also right... Yup those sub folders are under OS drive once u done the window installation. I don't bother using them because it is confusing for me. I try make as simple as possible with less folders and differentiate files clearly.Haha, game can load faster but with baka internet connection is useless also In singapore, you can get 50 Meg - 100 meg (forgot the exact amount) with the price of 5 Meg after currency conversion in Malaysia. True that internet speed is terrible and and unstable sometimes. Every month saw the streamyx bill is headache to pay it |

QUOTE(calamity88 @ Apr 21 2013, 11:28 PM) just a question dear Sifus. Is installing windows on SSD just the same as it would on a normal HDD drive? using the boot from cd steps then automated setup by the windows. Just bought a new SSD for my laptop here. Yup, they are just the same for installation of OS. |

QUOTE(ErgoProxi @ Apr 30 2013, 11:08 PM) I download a buttlots of data ( games , movie & shits). You can try set the directory of your download client to your HDD drive, this may help I think because I'm downloading like 2gb of files everyday too.'m using SSD as my C: drive. so, all my temporary files(win,IDM & browers) in there. |

Yup SSD for only OS, temp files and important programs, but I'm not sure if this helps or not. In theoretically, reduce the write data into the ssd can prolong its life.

QUOTE(ErgoProxi @ Apr 30 2013, 11:15 PM) 10gb is really big lol, I guess my usage cant reach that high due to slow internet speed here.However, 2gb average is only my download client. Streaming and other temp download files like document are not counted. |
