Nah, No BIOS update, and I'm using an ol'Z68 mobo, I doubt there'll be any chipset update for this dinosaur.

And again, I'll test the SSD on other PC, to see how it goes.

i check your mobo spec and find out it have 2 sata 6gb port and 4 sata 3gb port.. are you sure you are using the correct one?

i think he's using the right one. because the speed drop was said to only occur recently.

Welp, apparently switching to SATA III port fix the prob :\
Now im running on 500MB/s read 214MB/s write.. odd..

this is more like it (actually it's like factory state. not bad for a 2-year-old drive imo) yeah for trouble shooting, we always have to check everything related. in your case, this includes sata port and the cables. it's not uncommon for them to fail.

maybe it's not about the sata port or cable. previously we didn't do a complete power recycling (i.e. pull the ssd off from its sata cable and system, leave it alone for some times, and then put it back in) i think the older crucial m4 needed this step also when you do secure erase or something like that on it.

why only 120GB? should take 250GB ma.

120GB is moar than enough for OS and other IDE software ma~

cheh i tot you also got install games...i need more because of games

Guys im using asus p8z77-m mobo, what is the best bang for buck ssd now?

Really not much knowledge on ssd, would prefer 256gb.

Ty.

IINM, there's a LiteOn SSD sold here, which costs around RM380 - It's essentially a rebadged Plextor M5P.

I see, i was actually planning to buy the transcend ssd around rm3xx also.

So this rebadge plextor is better?

IMO, Plextor/LiteOn drives are pretty reliable, as they are frequently used in laptops.

Guys, actually now im in taiwan, there is a promotion twd 3000 which is rm340 for toshiba q series pro 256gb.

Cheap enough?

yeah it's a better option, compared to normal portable pendrives, if you need like 256gb of space. (almost same price, but better speed)
