Today I just upgraded to a "new" that comes with custom cooler which covers all the sata ports. I have to remove one of the fans to access to sata port.
so basically now I'm forced to use pcie x1 extender and a sata 3.0 pcie x1 card. Do you guys have any brands to recommend me? Prefably 4 ports but 3 is minimum. |

My suggestion as stated in previous post. |

Just want to ask , do you guys get random blue screen after using SSD? I've been getting it a lot "randomly" after upgrading to SSD. Didn't have it with my previous HDD.
I know it's probably not hardware cause I only upgraded the SSD. Probably not software because it can hang even just at idle. Using Corsair if i'm not mistaken. This post has been edited by Drian: Oct 17 2013, 07:42 PM |

Didn't have it with my previous HDD. The random freeze / "stuck" happens to my Force 3 previously. But after some tweaking by referring to the guide as first page no prob afterward.I know it's probably not hardware cause I only upgraded the SSD. Probably not software because it can hang even just at idle. Using Corsair if i'm not mistaken. Blue screen might be your graphic driver not updated? Try update may solve also. Your SSD is what model ? |

QUOTE(sgh141 @ Oct 13 2013, 11:39 AM) Hi,I'm new to this ssd,so I need opinion which 1 is suit me better... As long as your motherboard support SATA (sata III preferably), then no problem.Budget is RM600,but the prob is,my motherboard is old 1... It's a P55 chipset board(Maximus 3 Gene).... Please help me to choose....Just want to make sure worth to buy with that amount of money and no regrets later.... And please inbox me where you will prefer to buy it,or any recommended seller..prefer KL location... Thank you....  Forgot to add : I prefer capacity 180GB or more.... Run W7 or later, since Vista don't support TRIM natively. |
