Mine is USB adapter, TL-WN821N, it was fine when using slow connection(HSPA 7.2mbps), i got the prob after changed to 4G, the upload will not last for 10 second, and the adapter will disconnected itself.

Funnily my old wifi adapter is the one that keeps DCing during its time in Win7... In Win8 with W7 drivers seems to be working fine hmm.gif

is there any differences between intel SSD 335 series and intel SSD 520 series ?

i'm looking something above 240G and it seem like this 2 series fit the bill.

so far the highest capacity is 480G by intel 520, any bigger capacity from intel ?

like what hmwgbworld said as well, though look at this perspective as well

Intel 335 240GB have the most best price to GB ratio atm wink.gif (next to Plextor M5S 256GB)

do the math yourself

also, Intel 335 using 20nm Intel Flash memory, lower power consumption if its relevant to you

because i was think either 335 or 520 intel series to fit into my upcoming Lenovo Y500 notebook.

price wise, is around 200++ differences for 520 compare with 335.

i was kinda attracted with the 5 years warranty given by intel for the 520 series.

it depends on your usage really

for casual users who arent speed sensitive, a normal 3 year one like Plextor M5S, Intel 330 etc should be fine

but for those enthusiasts who wants more out of their money, they opt for those higher ends like Intel 520, OCZ Vertex 4, Samsung 840 Pro and so on

but really, the 5 year warranty is good wink.gif

PS: bear in mind the Intel 335 is 9mm thick instead of 7mm thick. so it may or may not fit inside your notebook

thanks for the tips.

all the while i thought any 2.5 SSD would fit into a notebook chassis.

in the meantime while waiting for the new Y500 series, i was hoping intel could release SSD with bigger capacity, 240G is kinda low and the 480G is crazy expensive

SSD compared to last time, its way cheaper already (based on price to GB ratio)

couple of years back my friend bought his 160GB SSD at RM800-1000 sweat.gif

but its still surviving till today, really durable

plextor m5s 128gb below RM300 is the best buy now? or abit more get the samsung 840?

840 using TLC NAND, dont think its worth it

Better get MLC NAND SSDs

Plus one, unless you got a lot of cash/adventurous , dont bother with performance SSD if you are just normal user, you cant tell the difference between high end SSD and mainstream one, unless comparing them with benchmark software,
even if you could, they are probably just a few second faster.

Be smart, tweak the msconfig and windows services to disable unused programs to reduce boot time.

makes me feel abit guilty.. sad.gif

im kinda enticed to buy a Samsung 840 Pro.. but im just a casual user sad.gif

I can buy it locally but its too freaking expensive here, honestly i would rather buy 2 cheap 128GB SSD then raid the hell out if it, but sadly im using AMD mobo  rclxub.gif  doh.gif  sweat.gif
But then, its also too much for me as i only utilized 14% of my 256GB SSD lol, and the rest 50% still remain unpartitioned doh.gif
*
thats why im still having second thoughts of buying it

cause im not sure if spending for an SSD is worth it sad.gif

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.
*
maybe they refer to reviews online? hmm.gif

personally, i wouldnt comment on things i dont know

and i dont know half of what you mentioned sweat.gif

this sounds like the manufacturers are deliberately concealing the info about their products. hmm.gif

makes newbies on SSDs to be misguided on the lifespan of SSDs. so far i only know 1 way to reduce the SSD's lifespan which is
1) through the amount of read/write youve done the entire time which in this case is the point no .3 in your post
never knew anything about the P/E cycle

at least this proves now that higher warranty period doesnt mean more longer lasting

Guys, wanna ask that will it affect the SSD lifespan by having Antivirus Scanning? Maybe like once a week.

yep

the more you use SSD to perform read/write actions, the more you reduce down its lifespan (though its lifespan by default is longer than any average HDDs)

I see. Just bought new dell desktop and it comes with liteon SSD 7mn series

alot of factors comes in when determining SSD's lifespan actually, not just the amount read/written

stuffs like P/E cycle, size of SSD etc etc

the largest capacity SSD have the highest lifespan afaik

but dont worry too much ill say, even if its the cheap TLC SSDs itll still outlive your com parts lol (depending on workload)
