Hi all, is it possible to install Intel Rapid Start Technology on a SSHD?

hi guys. tot of upgrading my current Crucial M4 128gb x 2 @ RAID0 to slightly bigger size ssd preferably 256gb x 2 @ RAID0. be needing some recommendation for:
1) best performance ssd?
2) best performance & price ratio ssd?
need to narrow down my ssd selection. tengs guys!

can never go wrong with kingston

RAID can be double up the size and combine both drive or speed performance ?

I had never used raid before

1) double size - yes
2) double speed - yes (very significant on hdd. ssd in real world u wont feel much diff bcos 1 ssd is already fast enuf)
atleast dats frm my point of view.

That depends on which RAID you're talking about.
If RAID 0, yes, both size & speed will increase.
If RAID 1, no.

There are a lot of RAID types to choose from.

Thanks you guys, coz after switch to SSD you really feels fast enough even cloud not do RAID on the speed really can fly

yeah.. once SSD never going HDD unless for data storage(individual) .. if for enterprise they already have financial support to use SSD in lot of quantity also in higher spec than normal oem market..

If you search for reviews, most site will pointing it to Samsung 840 Evo for their price and performance. Thats why Im choosing it too.

You can get the 250GB version around RM 580 now. Just my 2 cents!

I agree with u samsung 840 evo is a great ssd, i just install on my lappy n u dont believe my boot time is on 2-4 second only.

cold boot 4 secs?
you using Windows 8?

Ya its window 8, at first i though something wrong becos boot so fast n try several also same as fast.

Yeah LOL. I installed Windows 8 on my friends 6 year old laptop and holy hell it loaded under 25 secs despite having only a 5400rpm HDD, let alone a 500MBs SSD.

LOL at the something wrong part. For those who don't believe it, you can try to upgrade your HDD to SSD. You won't regret and miss your old HDD.

You just only bought your SSD isn't it? You try again once you fill up your SSD, see whether still can get 2-4 seconds or not

Btw, there are two methods people use to test boot speed, one is right after pressing the power button and one more is when the BIOS screen appears.

The 4 sec is until window but before the password, i myself also dont believe it.

Ya la, everything is the fastest when you just only installed the OS into the SSD. Like I said try to fill up your SSD first the say again later, but hor I'm not exactly sure how the EVO would perform

If you bought a high end OCZ product, you dodged a major bullet. Of you didn't and bought cheaper end ones, I'm sorry, but Toshiba just canceled your warranty.

I have install window, office, graphic driver some os, n few games it still boot at 4sec until window, believe or not up 2 you becos i am using one myself n as i have said earlier i also dont believe what i saw.

Nobody is doubting your claim, we all have achieved such boot time speeds also what I'm using a Pro version and I remember having such speeds when I first installed the OS and some programs/etc but fast forward 7 months and the speeds drop quite a bit.
