Looking for NGFF M.2 SSD which length is 42mm (max)

Any choice in market right now?

Planning using for cache drive in my Y410P

I just installed a new win8 on the ssd, now i can sorta dual boot. win8 on ssd and win7 on hdd.

now i have to reinstall all my programs and drivers on my win8. any tips how to reinstall the drivers automatically? or do i have to download and install it one by one?

can back order 128G for you
lead time 3 week. Interested?

PM ed

Thanx for reply bro

You have to download and install one by one, that's i always download and save it on data HDD.
no need to redownload everything if PC components went fubar.

Although windows update can install driver for you automatically, but they usually ONLY install drivers, do not expect it will install the extra software/utilities/GUI for you

Hi guys, Im running win8 on a 8gb ram system.
My question is that is page file required? for now my page file is set to automatic and theres 4.6gb of page file.

Since I heard that if my ram is alot, i don't really need page file. Is that true?

hi all, it seems like the plextor m5s not "ngam" with either lg dvdrw or ga-h87n-wifi mobo; fyi, the ssd is a boot drive.

my problem is whenever lg dvdrw is attached, during boot-up, the screen (at times) will prompted me "reboot or insert boot media" error, the root cause is due to the ssd gone missing in bios post , and hence lead to the boot error, so when i removed the dvdrw, everything boot-up flawlessly, is there any remedy for this

From what i know, it seems like theres some problem with the boot priority..
You might have to set ssd as 1st boot priority.


Anyway, whats the benefit of ram caching? will it really speed up the speed?

spoon-feed me pls how to set and make it stays permanently? i had set it before, but then when dvdrw comes, he plays ninja hide n seek, the whole drive vanished in bios post

Like i said, i dont know much about this. I just started setting up my ssd a few days ago.So i cant help you much..

Maybe you can try unplug the dvd where it can sense the ssd, then from the bios, set the ssd as the 1st to boot?

You can, if you don't really utilize the RAM for extreme purpose such as photoshop huge image and I mean seriously huge (couple of mega-pixels with tons of effects) and plenty of them all at once.
Gaming wise, there's already a game (Lost Planet 3) require 8GB RAM so I'm not too sure if leaving pagefile-less would crash it? (Sifu please continue....)

Check the BIOS for every single available drive when you bootup with all drive plugged-in.
Btw, what's your PC? Desktop? Laptop?
I haven saw such event where one drive will disappear unless it's the PATA era (Master/Slave jumper) where you must set the jumper carefully.
Please also do some camera shots for all the drives list, so we do know what's exactly happened inside your BIOS, with everything plugged-in of course.

i just installed plextor m5s 128gb, but the plextools cannot recognize it.. what might be the problem?

and my benchmark is like this.. the value is abit off for write i believe.. other ppl benchmark get around 200MB/s.. is there something wrong with my SSD? just bought few days ago

anyone plz help? anything wrong with my reading? the ssd is on sata3 tho.. but not direct intel one cos my z68 mobo don have direct intel controller on sata3..

Have you tried steps below? (Please use AS SSD in all benchmarks)
1. Latest chipset drivers on the SATA port that you installed.
2. Tested with optimization yet? Benchmark 1 before and 1 after to rectify if it helps.
3. How about benchmark on Intel SATA?
Also, please list your exact mainboard model (revision if available) + others hardware installed if possible.

my driver all after install windows 8 then i straight test. optimization done based on the website provided at 1st page. i think my mobo don have intel sata, the intel one is sata2. my mobo is ASRock Z68 Pro 3, revision i cant be sure.

Hi, I got an SSD as my boot drive. The problem is my SSD left 2gb free space. Will it reduce the performance of SSD like a normal HDD?

Please provide the AS SSD benchmark screen shot then we can go further.
Also please do the test on Intel SATA2 port as well, well make it 2 test then one on your SATA3 and one on Intel SATA2, and lets Sifu here judge if you should just use the Intel SATA2.
