Just got my Plextor M5pro 128, do I actually need to install stuff like Plextools?

What do they actually do?

read speed is decent, but write is...

120GB version?

yes 120GB only, the higher the capacity the faster the write speed. However as some mentioned 4K writes is much important which I have no clue at all which is which are more important

ive no idea as well in picking SSDs

ive read their review by Anand and TomsHardware

seeing from benchmark, it isnt really the fastest nor the cheapest

but it does come with extra features that they didnt go deep into

Sequential Read/Write only important for those doing transcoding videos in massive amounts, other than that, 4K is for daily usage where smaller files Read/Write is much frequent than you reading couple hundreds of MBs.
The higher capacity provide better speed but that's all depends on each person wallet as well, if you can afford those high-end units, then you can enjoy those freaking high speed, but in the end, 4K read/write and access time is utmost important in any situation, be it massive workload, or daily usage.
Anyway, those doing massive transcoding will use RAID0 to compensate the sequential read/write speed, this is where normal users (over 95%) does not really needs.
I'm darn happy already after 2 weeks with my new SSD+HDD, no need to head for tea when booting up my laptop, no need to sweat while turning off my laptop, just click Shut down, close the lid, pack everything up, it's just that fast. Oh... few more, loading apps is just... so fast that I'm tapping the table using other users laptop. (Waiting can be frustrating... )

consumer grade ssd's are good enough to help you in many ways for common usage. it's really not necessary to go for enthusiast grade unless you really need it, or you have some extras.

as for the capacity, make some justifications of your system usage. the simpler way is to base on OS and apps (i.ee. OS, common software, and games that you play most). the rest goto storage hdd (internal or external).

any fight for other same brand and spec msata samsung pm830 ssd 32gb guys?

is this reading good? setup as storage in lenovo y500 sli laptop

Thanks for the info

Im pretty interested in getting a 256 or 512GB SSD.. Make it somewhat like a gaming/OS/always being used programs. But the price

When talking about transcoding videos, if they're Blu-ray sources, they only need about 4.5 MB/s transfer rate for real-time transcoding. HDDs will perform fine for such work, even if your CPU is good for 10x real-time transcoding (~45 MB/s).

To actually push the limits using only video transcoding, you're talking about applications that 99.99% of consumers probably won't ever encounter. Like YouTube's server farms.

Compared to ordinary 2.5" SSDs, that reading is poor.

not worth to compare with the REAL SSD man, I do and hav plextor m5s 128gb and knew its not comparable apple to apple with msata!



how about msata vs msata the real question was?

This reading just like my 60gig intel 330..

Glad to hear something that similar. Thx man

just got a plextor m5s 128gb now planning to do data migration >< headache..

Hello, what's the cheapest 512gb ssd available in the market? Plan to buy one to replace super slow company laptop's 512gb harddisk by cloning it.

Thanks!

Maybe Crucial M500 480gb RM1249 and Seagate 600 Series 480gb RM1259.
Price from Viewnet.

still so pricey.. maybe wait one more year

any affordable 7mm 120gb SSD to recommend? thanks

plextor m5s cheap!
