If i have the EVO SSD i'd enable it, i mean, why not? extra performance that utilize the excessive system resource, that's smart actually, and they claim otherwise it's safe to use, it wotn be as fragile as RAM disk cache

have you initialized it on disk manager already? If you can see your SSD under the device manager, that means your SSD is working, only left disk initialization.

You still have to initialize it under disk management, without it windows unable to use it, take a look on this guide

Official SSD Discussion Thread

Introduction
A solid-state drive (SSD) (sometimes improperly referred to as a "solid-state disk" or "electronic disk") is a data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives. SSDs do not employ any moving mechanical components, which distinguishes them from traditional magnetic disks such as hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks, which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read/write heads. Compared with electromechanical disks, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, are silent, and have lower access time and latency, but are, at 2011 market prices, more expensive per unit of storage. The prices have continued to decline in 2012.

SSDs share the I/O interface technology developed for hard disk drives, thus permitting simple replacement for most applications.
As of 2010, most SSDs use NAND-based flash memory, which retains data without power. For applications requiring fast access, but not necessarily data persistence after power loss, SSDs may be constructed from random-access memory (RAM). Such devices may employ separate power sources, such as batteries, to maintain data after power loss.

Hybrid drives combine the features of SSDs and HDDs in the same unit, containing a large hard disk drive and an SSD cache to improve performance of frequently accessed data. These devices may offer near-SSD performance for many applications.

If it is 2.5" size HDD or msata on macbook u can replace it with aftermarket at pretty reasonable price.
if u are talking about pcie, it definitely be expensive.

I just bought an Intel 530 and above is the benchmark results

write speed quite low, is it a problem?

weird is Atto showing decent results, but Crystal and AS show different

PS: Win 8.1 and I'm pretty sure I am using sata III port as well

ATTO by default using compressible data for benchmark ,which is why the write speed is higher than the rest of the benchmarking software that using random data.
Intel 530 use SandForce controller, it's known for it's weak write speed with random data.
