Thanks again for the great advice. RAPID sounds really good. Guess I'll have to tinker and play around with the Magician software, as well as using the ten step SSD Optimization.

But for space, I think 250GB is enough for OS and several games. Gonna keep the other stuff like songs and movies in my 3TB Drive. But I will try not to breach 210GB as a space usage limit on the SSD.

yes, that's a good practice (ssd as boot drive and hdd as storage)

although it's good to allocate some space for over provisioning (10 to 15% should be suffice), you can use it as is for your usage.

Hahaha yeah, I can see that. But yeah like I said once at a certain price range most if then perform almost the same. Yours is suffice for all your needs?

Yeah always planned to do a split program drive (ssd) and data drive (hdd).

Alright noted. I usable space would be around 235GB or so, so I'll try to keep it around 200/210GB max. Worse comes to worse I'll get a second 250GB drive and do a RAID 0. But by then I Dont think RAPID can be used. See how.

Thanks mate! thumbup.gif

Another thing i've observed in regards to lifespan is also this:

I typically replace gadgets every 4 years. And current SSD can last roughly 7 years+ .. So aggressively installing/uninstalling stuff brings it to a close number of my 4 years usage.

But even with my aggressive usage, i think there's still plenty more than 4 years.

My point is, don't worry about the lifespan on current SSD. To keep it optimal

1. defrag=off
2. trim=on

And do whatever you want to it. I used it for my heavy rendering and it's still kicking after 2 years+ (lost count).

hi guys can help explain something to me regarding intel 530 SSD please? am noob here.
Noticed that on anandtech.com review of the drive they summarised the 530 as sequential read at 530Mbs and seq write as 480/490Mbs for even the 120Gb. But for many other reviews, seq writes is always lower the smaller the SSD is. any reason y?

=_________= Uh, guys, so much for matching the SSDs to Windows 8. Haha.

Windows 9 rumored to be coming out later this year.

Please google on above 256gb write speed would be different.
In the every models have they lower speed on smaller storage of size.

Good luck.

mine is plextor m5, bsod randomly, usually when gaming, gpu ok, already swap but same problem, after a long research, let the ssd run without hdd, so far no bsod or freeze, same result when testing with only hdd, any idea?

m5pro or m5s?

i never experienced any bsod myself, since day one. my laptop is running 2x plextor m5pro, 1x m5m, and 1x hdd.

what's your current firmware version for the m5? have you updated to the latest one?

You shouldn't be looking at the sequential read/write speed. You should be looking at the 512K and 4K read/write speed instead.

QUOTE
In the end, it confirms something we always thought but just didn’t really understand.  Large sequential read and write access (high sequential and 512kb) are utilized by the average user less than 1% of the time yet the most used method of access is smaller random write access as shown by the 4k write at over 50%.

Manufacturers showcase high sequential disk transfer speeds in selling their SSDs solely for their lightning fast appearance yet, these high sequential speeds are actually the disk transfer method that is used the least at less than 1% in  total.  As much as we would like to lay blame solely on the SSD companies, the majority of blame actually goes right back to the new SSD consumer who knows of no other way to differentiate between the myriad of SSDs available other than through high sequential performance.

What is your SATA setting? Do you run in AHCI mode? To my knowledge, some HDD (older model) only able run in IDE mode. Maybe thats the cause of the problem.

yes, but ive already tried using the hdd alone with AHCI mode, no problem, the problem exist only when the two are running in the same system.

Many ppl fell for that, including me lol sweat.gif doh.gif
For ppl who solely looks for higher performance at cheaper price, go for RAID 0 lah.
if your mobo support TRIM with raid enabled(intel x67 or newer).
You gain almost double performance compare to single large capacity SSD. but lost one sata port, 200% risk of losing data if lazy to do backup tongue.gif

the problem might be related to power plan settings. check your power plan, and set the hard disk option (turn off hard disk after) to never (meaning 0). also, someone use software to keep the hdd alive (http://keepalivehd.codeplex.com/). you might wanna use that too.
