QUOTE(marfccy @ Mar 31 2014, 04:51 PM) in terms of speed between the two you mentioned, Samsung Evo even without RAPID mode beats it flat Here you go storm88 aka tech armory are having promotion now, oh well saves me the trouble for going pc fair but V300 have more endurance than TLC based Samsung 840 Evo extremely good pricing you got there, mind sharing the 240GB pricing? |

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 31 2014, 05:34 PM) it's not a silly question. the larger the space, the more apps/games you can store. this way you do not need to uninstall old games to fit new games so frequently (i.e. help reduce writes/erase cycles). for instance, bf4 with the two dlc's are now 34.7GB. when you delete it to fit new games, your ssd is 34.7GB shorter in lifespan. furthermore, you can allocate some space for over-provisioning purpose (for performance). imo 120gb is just good for OS drive, plus some apps. to store games, it will quickly run out of space. l see, guess gonna pain my wallet for 240gb |

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 31 2014, 06:23 PM) well yeah that's the most common constraint :/ Superstition: l suppose ssd keep your system healthy also? my rig build in april 2013, suffering from totally random bsod/freezing all the while, my gf pc with a ssd build earlier than mine doesnt really have this kind of issue however, i still think it's worth while to save a bit more to get 240-256GB range. that range is the sweet spot for now imo. (much better performance compared to 120GB drives) |

QUOTE(horns @ Apr 1 2014, 12:25 AM) it's pointless because you can only save like 20gb of space. (half the size of one new game?) with hdd, you can do that by using hibernate to speed up the access to windows but that only solve boot time issue of windows, other apps are still slow. (well, unless of course your apps are all games My rig mainly for gaming only, no other apps needed |

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Sep 11 2014, 11:30 PM) Does it only peak at certain time or almost always? peak at certain time, tried to move my ac4 from ssd to hhd, transfer speed was only 13.4 mbps, and l noticed if l play game on ssd will suffer stutter Do you runs anything or copying huge files when you saw that value? |
