Yeah, managed to find my receipt... looks like they will send back to US for warranty...

Yeah, but the bad news is how unreliable SSD was.

I will revert back to hard disk. I cannot risk another loss of data.

horns Looks like Samsung will release a new firmware for the 840 EVO to address the slow read speeds on older files on October 15:

Anyone started to see cheaper SSDs on the market yet?

Then better I wait until the price drop in MY?

still struggling between Plextor M6S and intel 520 , both priced at rm269 and rm290 respectively for 128/120GB

http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Plext...20GB/2225vs1934

Intel seems to be little outdated and slower , but with 5 years warranty.
what is your opinion?

the write speed is 300mbps for plextor compared to 150mbps for intel 

http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Plext...20GB/2225vs1934
here writes average sequential Write Speed 129mb/s lol

i tried the test, same results as per the user benchy

like you said, i dont see any difference for my normal usage

only in benchy is where it says its bad

wont this theoretically mean Macs are UFO too?

since they using faster PCIE based SSD

I wonder recently got anyone bought the Kingston V300 SSD? Is it still using Toshiba nand?

Maybe they could just the SSD benchmark to run the read/write speed to find out is it have been stripped down?

put in something?   hmmmmm...... I read an article that someone manage to decoded the batch serial number to identify the Kingston Nand is made by Micron or Intel or Toshiba.

Oh man.. means we can't figure it out inside is it Toshiba Nand or not without purchase it and unscew it. Any other way to work around how to figure it out? hmmm...

Problem is, I can't find some cheap SSD that is small capacity like around 80GB. Budget is RM160 and below.

Purpose is, I found an old HP mini 210 (2010 old of Netbook), I decided to swap it with SSD and try to stress test it and see how the performance. If no good, I can take the SSD and put into my another 2008 year old of Desktop that using by my dad which the HDD currently almost dead, he use to watch movie, so High capacity is not necessary for him or even me as well.

What is your solution for my case?

Yeah, I was as told by another forumer TristanX that he said:
..

RM250 is quite cheap too, somemore 5 year of warranty.

Bro, got few more things I not quite understand. Certain SSD come with different thickness like 9.5mm or 7mm, so how do I know which fit my lappy or desktop? Desktop I know easy as there would be bracket for it. But laptop? hmmm

Edit: thread locked-down. looks suspicious. lol

guys can recommend me 250/256 ssd? currently eyeing for samsung & plextor. my budget is around RM500.

sifu.how come my plextor performance so bad?

CrystalMark is normal.
I guess AS SSD is wrong. M6S is really working since my boot up time is appox 4 seconds 

i upgraded from an Intel Gen2 160gb to a new Samsung 850 pro vnand ssd.

Here is the comparison results using the samsung benchmark tool

The problem with that is while MX100 loses out in a few areas it's also much cheaper. Not the case here for whatever reason.
