There should be some others using kingston ssd too, but no ppl post here for ownership i guess.
You will be the first  .
Nope, Kingston is also good SSD brand. Maybe not just as famous as other brands.

My first SSD at the beginning of time... 40GB only lol install windows then no space for anything else already... but that time damn expensive

I think is corsair force series

Update: My Samsung 840 pro arrived!! quite happy with the write speed though I not sure why the 4KQD32 score so low.. but I don't know what is 4KQD32 also lol

Hehe.. make sure you aligned your ssd, that will give it max performance. The numbers doesn't mean anything as long as it is running its full potential while eliminating unnecessary writes -> longer life!

Usually higher speed comes with a price (for example overclocking runs hotter) but for ssd seems like speed and reliability is in the same direction..

SSD geting filled up?

Bit the bullet, got myself a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB for RM620 from ViewNet! Good deal, or ok deal or so-so deal? Lol.

Next challenge, migrating data and installing/reinstalling the SSD into my rig with Win7.

Doubts:
I Should be leaving the Sata Mode on my Bios to "Raid" instead of "IDE/ACHI" right? Since I have another pair of WD RE4 Black 1.0TBs in Raid0 as a Data drive?

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, pretty damned sad for those who bought older legacy OCZ products. And those are the products with the most failure rates too, way worse than the flagships. But I do hope Toshiba can overhaul OCZ and make it competitive again. They do actually make good stuff.

As for your SSD, you better make sure you do not fill it up beyond 80% to sustain comfortable speeds. Once you fill up your SSD there will be some slowing down.

Hello guys. I have wondering wheter is it ok to put OS in HDD and game in SSD. Currently I only play BF4 and it loads map very slow on HDD. I am at low budget so option on left at 120/8 GB ssd. Would this method ok or not? Kindly advise. Tq.

I know what u means, able to load OS fast and open app in glimpse of an eye sure I want. But no budget for 250Gb. Raya near somemore, need to cut cost.
