QUOTE(Cobby @ Dec 27 2012, 12:53 AM) Yup... the Win8 boot is fast! mine come with mSata 16GB, this is the msata model SanDisk U100 Solid State Drivebut when i run multi tasking (Installing behind, word, excel, mp3, surfing) at the same time causes lag and some delay/hangs. So... with SSD supposed its fast... coz curently the bottleneck for Y500 is the HDD... But i heard that mSATA port might be SATA2 oni... so i thought of using the standard SSD... so far no one from Y500 reported any info on the mSATA SSD. this is the msata spec. http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/u100/ so it's SATA 6Gb/s = sata 3  This post has been edited by hirota: Dec 27 2012, 05:33 PM |

QUOTE(Cobby @ Dec 27 2012, 06:00 PM) Hi, can you use HWinfo and post the SSD sata type. Coz if the SATA port is SATAII then SATA3 SSD stil runs on SATA2 speed. here you are the hwinfo, but CrystalDisk Mark not able to detect the msata drive.Hmmm.. or u can try the CrystalDisk Mark / Bench 32 and test the mSATA Speed. That can show if the mSATA runs on SATA3 speed. Attached thumbnail(s)
