Intel 530 series for good stability, warranty support, MLC technology and 5 years warranty

my sata 2 mobo is the bottle neck, i think jus 300mbps iops will be okay for me. as long as i will the difference and most importantly is CHEAP!

For a budget and still need the speed of a SSD like me, I'll go for V300. For the price now at RM190 (120GB), the tag price is good if we are willing to forget about synchronous fiasco happened. Day to day usages comparing to HDD is like a king hehe.

ok but i think you will upgrade within that period of time. a little bit of future proofing is nice don't you think?

lol cheap is one factor to consider but i think value for money is more practical. for now intel 530 has most of the values that you can get from a typical ssd.

iops is for what?

er simply put it's about performance. the more the better.

i using IDE now. i heard ppl say use AHCI is better but after i change, my pc get BSOD. Are AHCI is better? HOT PLUG have to enable in order to AHCI mode?

i now load my chrome also very fast. |OMFG!!|

hi guys, any recommendation on which 120GB SSD should i get?
samsung evo or kingston ?

yes it will give you bsod if you simply change like that. for best results, you should set it to ahci and then do a fresh OS install.

alternatively i have read that there is a windows registry tweak. i am not sure how it works. google should be able to help you out.

Read the first step:

EVO, if you are only limited to these two... However, the EVOs seem to be plagued by the slow read speeds... again.

Still, Intel's 530 would be my choice, but if you want something new, then Samsung's newer 850 EVO is an excellent choice.
