Yes.

The current best value for money? Felt a bit wasted staying with conventional HDD on i5 & 8gb ram.

You can't go wrong with either Plextor or Crucial, both value for money as of current market price.
You can even convert your conventional HDD to DVD drive slot if you can't spend over RM400 for SSD and needs the space constantly on your laptop, like I what have right now, 120GB SSD + 1TB HDD on my laptop, both speed and space.

Anybody bought from him before?
The cheapest 128gb M5S in lowyat I guess?
Reliable seller? Very tempting.

Hello, as I am going to install SSD into my ASUS lappy, few questions here.

1. The installation of SSD will void the warranty of my laptop?
2. If I change the DVD slot into my HDD, will it void my warranty too? And is it recommended to do so or just change the HDD to SSD and HDD become external hard disk?
3. Is there any converter that available for my DVD so I can use it as external?

Thanks for helping.

Haven't deal with him so far, but from what i have read he got mostly positive ones.
Not sure if he's offering cheapest price, u can always ask other seller or surf lelong/ipmart website for price comparison.

I think wont void the warranty if the opening points/screws are not covered by warranty stickers.
Try ask storm88 , he got more experience regarding this.

Nevermind, I will try ask the seller of SSD before installation.

hi

for your case, it wont void your warranty. So don't worry

just wanted to know.
days ago I just bought a ssd.
its kingston hyperx 3k 120gb @ rm390
this is my first time buying it but I haven't use it yet because I'm waiting for my full pc hardware part.
just wondering, is it a good ssd ? is it worth buying it ?

May i know what is the best ssd in terms of brand and speed for virtualization usage? I have a laptop running with 12GB Ram and was wondering if ssd can assist my virtual image to run faster. Thx.

there is significant speed boost using ssd when trying to execute programs compare to traditional hdd.. so upgrading from hdd to ssd is the best thing ever happen to me in my computer hardware experience.. hope this help.. it doesn't matter what brand but ppl been recommending plextor for best value and faster speed too.. if comparing ssd to ssd yes have to be selective which is faster than which but first time upgrade gonna bring smile.. only disadvantage of ssd is small capacity.. higher capacity gonna cost a hole in the bank..

if you considering an upgrade from hdd to ssd just go for it.. for capacity can use hdd as external.. program, windows just put in ssd.. it a good investment..

Is theRe anybody that uses lite one 128gb sad here?
Is it worth it?
It's the cheapest ssd i can find in the market

u mean the liteon ssd ?
its somehow rare to see in shops now.
what model of the ssd u saw is cheapest ?

yea liteon, yesterday was typing on a phone while sleepy.
Saw it in LYN, 128GB which is sufficient for my windows, hackintosh on other partition.
128GB is 250 on LYN>..

RM250 is ok by considering its older series/batch ssd.

iinm, Lite-on is one of the largest OEM supplier of SSD.
For example, Plextor SSD is manufactured by Lite-on.
LCT-256M3S (this Lite-on is actually slightly faster than as the old Plextor M3)
We normally won't find Lite-on SSD on retails, but in laptop (eg. lots of Dell models use Lite-on SSD). Rock steady firmware.
May want to make sure it is brand new unit, and not some salvaged parts

it's new. But what for need so fast for boot speed. That one comes last in my list. hehehehe

Not only boot speed, softwares and games launch faster too.

will update the ssd firmware erase the data inside?

When speed isn't your concern, just use back conventional HDD, cheapest and spacious.

My plextor is coming today. Both 128 and 256.
Hopefully no defects. Thought want to buy one and try, suddenly found out one of the pc using dinosaur age 80gb.
