so the ssd also good for gaming right cuz i though the sole reason for ssd are fast windows boot..

There is a thing called hibernation, im pretty sure many people didnt know it, resume from hibernation is actually very fast even with slow machine.
There are many reason to use SSD, not just for faster boot time.

Thanks for suggestion bro...i'd tried with Gpart, but something happened in the middle & all mess-up. Did fresh install last night & it turn okay now... Optimization in progress...

Still that Agility3 performance is under-spec...

Really bro...? what a relief... Thanks a lot 

Hi guys, i m planning to add a msata SSD to my laptop(y400).

Which model should I buy in term of performance and warranty,
crucial m500 or plextor m5m ?

man.. first day Intel 530 owner.. and already having problems with the AHCI config

went on boot loop when changed from IDE to AHCI

then attempt to install AHCI drivers from ASUS, platform not supported -.-

i tried changing before installing the SSD
same endless boot looop

i suspected the drivers as i didnt install the Intel/ASUS RAID/AHCI drivers. but the driver setup keep saying 'this platform not supported'
oh saw that as well, tried but no msahci, so i use storahci

changed the value to 1 (default was 0) and nothing happened

that guy manually inserted his registry to the PC

come to think about it, i havent even update BIOS.. is it necessary?

EDIT: got it working right, it seems i missed the second registry edit

thanks for the help!

here goes the benchie, seems decent

wait, this is already using ramdisk? or still SSD?

i dont quite catch what you mean by if i have more ram

i see

impressive speeds indeed, 8GB/s read. but ill stick to SSD atm

dont think 8GB RAM is sufficient

l suppose 120gb is enough for me, sry gonna ask some silly question, why 240gb?  l mean any significant difference from getting a 240gb instead of 120gb one?
*besides space gb 

l see, guess gonna pain my wallet for 240gb  cant buy ram after this 

Superstition: l suppose ssd keep your system healthy also? my rig build in april 2013, suffering from totally random bsod/freezing all the while, my gf pc with a ssd build earlier than mine doesnt really have this kind of issue 

tried diagnose my hardware, psu out, cpu out, ram out, hdd out, last possibility is OS, oh well, new ssd new OS  pray no more bsod/freezing

not a silly question, its one of the most commonly asked as well

cause SSD benefits when you leave a certain % of space available inside the drive. say you have a 120GB, you leave 15-20% space left available in the drive, this helps to keep the SSD retain its top speed or be consistent in performance (not sure am i explaining this right :/) if you hog it down to less then 10%, your SSD performance will drop and youll start to notice things arent as zippy anymore

for my case 120GB, i have to leave about 15-20GB free which if you look from this way
>120GB full cap
>111GB after format
>Windows 8.1 is est 20-30GB taken
>then add in drivers, other essential items (up to 5GB)
>i left.. 80GB+
>throw in a game, (games these days are huge) and youre already reaching the 20GB limit

Even l got habit to uninstall games after l finish it, it still takes up 300gb on my hdd what if l use hdd as OS, ssd plain gaming, waste?

My rig mainly for gaming only, no other apps needed guess l would still need to go 250gb, enjoy a while 1st before purchase a 2nd one

Titanfall require 59.6G to install...

i am comparing intel 530 with samsung evo. Which moderl is better?
