Another question guys, should i have my windows 8 installed in my ssd if i want fast boot up speed?

Or i can just install in my hdd and still have fast boot up speed?

And also does this apply to all the other programnes?

The fundamental reason to get an SSD is to install your OS in the SSD, else it'll defeat the entire purpose of getting one If you have extra space, you can install your games in it so that loading times would be much faster

same with mSata right?
means i have to install my OS (win8) onto mSata to boot faster?
how about apps/software? need to install in mSata too or can install at HDD?

Yup, the main reason of getting an SSD is so that applications and loading times will be much faster and more responsive (due to the fast read/write speed). To do this, the OS and applications has to be installed in the SSD. Installing them on a conventional HDD will defeat the entire purpose of getting an SSD

0oo..means in order to achieved greater speed, need to install all OS & software onto mSata/SSD..
so need to have large mSata/SSD capacity la..?? aiyaaa..

u think mSata 80GB enough for it.??

Yeah, that's why people spend a lot of money getting a bigger capacity mSata SSD/SSD

By the way, you won't get 80GB of usable storage actually. You'd just get around 93% out of it (the rest used for backup,etc), so in the end you'd get around 74.4GB. Windows OS usually takes less than 20GB and the rest are for applications. Not sure how many applications do you have installed in your computer

Also bear in mind, modern high graphical games nowadays eat up a lot of space, for example Tera Online/Guild Wars 2 eat up 25GB each while something like Battlefield 3 eats up around 20GB. I'd say, with a 80GB mSata SSD, you can probably install at most, 1 big sized game. I suggest you to go for 128GB mSata SSD instead

One more thing, from what I hear, it's best not to use up all the space in your SSD (where the OS lies in) to ensure a more optimum performance..

hurm..if i install OS & essential software onto mSata and game & general software install onto regular HDD can right??
coz i'm planning to buy mSata & just install OS & important software onto it..
i just planning to use mSata for win to boot faster..hehe

Thank you bro. But is it more difficult to install your OS in ssd? Why most retailers insist me to install it in my hdd?

Yeah no problem one but best to have all installed in the SSD For me, I'd install the heavy applications in the SSD such as Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 4, Photomatix Pro (all picture editing programs ) and some games into the SSD. If it's filled up already, then would have to put the rest of the programmes into the other HDD. For myself, I'd probably target something like a 180GB/240GB since right now my C drive is already occupying somwhere around 180GB++

Anyway, in the mean time you guys can check this out

alright bro..thanks for your time..guess i will buy 80gb mSata first..
just to install OS & important software..
haha..thanks once again..

i think im getting the 120gb for my new y400.

good good.. thank for your hard work research running around the lowyat. \

but im planning to get the Y500, wonder when they will come out

To all pros, when the y500 comes out, as a gamer would you recommend the sli in ultra bay or install a ssd there. Thankiu

SLI improves fps, while SSD improves loading time

Can any sifu here confirm with me if windows 8 can support ssd?

Im in lowyat now and the promoter told me i cannot install ssd becaus e windows8 cannot support it.

guys how to check warranty on9

z400 vs z500. Which one is better in term of performance?

Lol, ignore such a noob promoter.
There is impossible Windows 8 not support SSD.

Thank you bro
