QUOTE(horns @ Jul 25 2014, 08:56 AM) by default it's not there. you need to add it manually. just goto the details tab in task manager and right click on any column names to bring up the select columns menu. oh and i found another one performing tonnes of writes to my PC as well  Steam  massive 9GB compared to 2-3GB for Chrome

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jul 27 2014, 02:37 AM) Source?  BTW SSD lifespan is pretty irrelevant to most users unless if your workload involves a lot of I/O operations... http://techreport.com/review/26523/the-ssd...to-a-petabyte/5Note that this test involves writing half a petabyte (500TB) of data into the drive...  nah the problem now is, writes are still being made despite on idle state i just reopen Chrome to check forum and already its performing so much writes to my SSD as mentioned previously, my SSD of <6 months have already written 3.8TB of writes quite alot, considering i dont even do real work on SSD

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jul 27 2014, 02:42 AM) There's nothing to worry about, even if you manage to write 500TB of data, I doubt you'll be keeping the drive at that time...  BTW, you can do this: http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/16...t_drive/c7yhh8ryeah the lifespan is definite long enough, but it still gave me second thoughts nah, ill use the other way close Chrome when PC idling

QUOTE(horns @ Jul 27 2014, 11:53 AM) for chrome, now i remember i did 2 things to it. other than junction trick, i also turn background apps in chrome off. chrome apps run even if the web browser is closed. the option is in advanced settings, under system section. i turned this off ages back, but it still writes

QUOTE(hown @ Sep 27 2014, 11:27 PM) the write speed is 300mbps for plextor compared to 150mbps for intel   FYI the 530 is 480MB/s write, dafuq is that site quoting? http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/sol...530-series.html

QUOTE(horns @ Sep 28 2014, 12:52 AM) maybe they use incompressible data for the test. (a disadvantage of sandforce drive) however for common usage, i don't think it affects you much. i tried the test, same results as per the user benchy  like you said, i dont see any difference for my normal usage only in benchy is where it says its bad

QUOTE(Aivihc @ Nov 27 2014, 12:08 PM) I just bought new Intel 530 SSD (240gb).. my problem is the SSD boots fast but slow logging into Windows? (the time you type in your password) anyone know whats going on? same here, but the 'slow logging' doesnt affect me much since when i reach to my desktop, all apps just load instantly for me to bother with that

QUOTE(horns @ Nov 28 2014, 10:00 PM) uh? you are having the same problem too? are you using w7? i wonder why no one reported about this issue before. Windows 8.1 here didnt report it since it doesnt bother me that much (or maybe i dont shut down often to notice  ) assuming my issue is similar like above, where reach login page fast but after typing password/pin, its takes several seconds to head into desktop mine takes abt 2-3 spins (Windows 8 circle spinning thingy) not that troublesome really

QUOTE(horns @ Nov 29 2014, 10:51 AM) oh. from what i have read, there was a firmware released to solve this previously. still, there are some people who reported that the firmware didn't solve the issue. what if you disable login page? (using netplwiz) with ssd optimizations, the initial fast boot thing is usually disabled. in my case it takes 2-3 spins for w8.x to reach desktop too. im on latest firmware afaik, need to check Intel SSD Toolbox later nah i need my PC to be password protected  2-3 spin isnt long anyway

QUOTE(horns @ Nov 29 2014, 12:17 PM) oh ok  haha it's just a test to see if you can go into the desktop instantly (by instantly, i mean there is still a 1-second black screen in my machine) you're right. i am dealing with that 2-3 spins every time i restart my machines. it's more than fine to me lol! feels sad man, SSD life already down so much   and yep, latest 3.2.3

QUOTE(horns @ Dec 3 2014, 12:54 AM) oh ok haha i guess the high pitch noise doesn't affect the drive's performance. the plastic case, well, let's see if the temperature is good enough. for general use i guess it should be fine. normally manufacturers use metal case to serve as heat spreader. thermal pads are placed between chips and metal case for that purpose. (not all have pads, so i guess it's not really a big deal) although the price is that of a value drive, it's tagged as premium by transcend. its endurance rating (tbw) is kind of crazy. (http://www.legitreviews.com/transcend-ssd370-128gb-sata-6gbs-ssd-review_150465/9) 1TB version have 1000+TB endurance

QUOTE(DreamScars @ Dec 8 2014, 08:07 PM) hello guys, i wanna know is it true that for crucial m500 every drive from 120GB-960GB only has a 72TB write life time? regardless of the capacity size? i saw one user complain from another forum about the write life time, which should scale with capacity. urm that is the estimated write life during warranty period (3 years) it can write more than that modern consumer SSDs have breached 1 petabyte write limit already

QUOTE(Human10 @ Dec 9 2014, 08:45 PM) Wondering why Samsung as a big chip manufacturer themselves still playing with TLC instead of MLC or even SLC...  My point is that do MLC/SLC really much pricier than TLC even Samsung manufacture the chips themselves? shhh its business point of view why would they sell you something that can last long, when they can sell you something that couldnt? capitalism ho!

QUOTE(horns @ Dec 9 2014, 10:08 PM) yes i agree that it's about business. however, 850 evo is now said to have 2k p/e, with 5-year warranty. i believe there are still rooms for improvements. 3D NAND is doing good there  but im still not convinced of it being TLC
