Mountain Lion's AppleRaid does support TRIM...

If he decides to get a new Vertex 4, what does he do with his existing 60GB drive?

i can do reformat again if still problem

After reading quite a bit and perhaps ditching my earlier intent of getting the Sandisk Readycache (was a stop gap/wanting to save money first), I'm down to 2 choices:

Crucial M4 512GB
+ cheap(er)
+ reliable (on firmware 000F)
+ 30GB "more" space than Intel 520
- doesn't come with desktop kit
- assuming drive "dies" after 3rd year, then the cost is roughly RM400/year @ RM1200/pc; will be slightly more with extra desktop kit
- Web reports of random freezing even with 000F

Intel 520 480GB
+ reliable (or rather carries the Intel brand reliability)
+ desktop kit included
+ 5 years warranty
+ assuming drive dies after 5th year, cost is roughly RM340/year @ RM1700/pc
- expensive
- Web reports of random BSOD from SF22xx chips still not 100% eliminated

Main point of purchase: change from 300GB WD Raptor to SSD without worrying about space (don't have to manage programs etc); meant to last as long as possible.

Performance wise i would rate them equal especially considering it'll be put into a C2Q Intel P45 based system, Maximus II Formula. Still plenty fast except for the SATA II ports. "Real world difference" SATA2 vs SATA3 from what i read is there but minimal.

System will be upgraded (maybe ?) in the next 2-3 years; carrying over the SSD and mechanical HDDs.

Suggestions ? (and place to purchase if possible). tq. 

my crucial m4 got disk error. now attempting to repair.. suddenly crash while installing new nvidia driver.. shall i start repair with win7 disk instead??
Edit :
Done startup repair and it says disk is corrupt. oh why!! no!!

If I just get clone my HDD and replace it with a SSD on my laptop, will it increase the overall speed? Or do I need to tweak the BIOS setup? TQ

Just rechecked the registry, the value is already set to 0. So, I believe AHCI has been set correctly.

So you should be able to boot using AHCI mode , choose in your bios. I believe previously booting in this mode will cause it to restart the second it reaches the windows boot logo.

No need
Just install you OS in AHCI mode since Windows 7 have in built AHCI driver

500 GB HDD cannot be clone to 128 GB SSD,.

hi guys,
need help.
i had bought a kingston ssd hyperx 3k 120gb and clone my existing window 7 into it.
i checked from AS SSD and it show 31K -BAD: 

[attachmentid=3264221]

what does it mean and any tips on how to resolve it?
sorry, i'm new to ssd 

My system is:
Win7 Pro 64bits
Intel i5-2500K
Asrock Z68 Pro3
4 x 4gb kingston DDR3
MSI ATI 5770
no overclock.

=======================

edit: checked from google, it is because the drive doesn't aligned.

i'm using EaseUS Partition Manager to copy my system from old hardisk to ssd.
is that any other method i can try to resolve it?
thanks in advance 

thanks for reply.
i checked from kingston website, no new driver/firmware is available.
i don't want to re-installing win7, can i use the clone method without getting the 4k alignment issue? 

guy, any sata3 pci card recommend? I need a full speed sata3 pci card

Huh, i'm pretty sure it can, it's not pcie ssd, it's sata port expansion card.
The Asus u3s6 is almost a same thing as the MSI one, as both are using Marvel SATA controller.
Another option is to buy the LSI pcie sata card, but those card is very expensive, you could even buy a new mobo with that price iirc
