Hi guys, I think it's high time I plan to get an SSD (this Saturday, 7th December) to run my OS, applications and etc.

I'm planning to get a Minimum of 240Gb SSD, but now the question is which one?
Samsung EVO 240Gb or Intel something something. [Yeah I don't know what to get]

My criteria that should hopefully be met is, value/price, performance, reliability, after sales services = such as RMA, warranty,etc.
===============
Now my system is running on RAID mode, with 3 HDDs, 1 HDDS(A) for OS, and 2 HDD(B and C) is raided 0 together for data....

Will it be hard if i were to replace HDD(A) as a normal data drive swapping it with the SSD? as in would it be a difficult process?

Thanks

Thanks, I don't think I plan on cloning, but I may though, Yeah i've heard of Acronis before...

But my question was which SSD to get between Samsung and Intel... majority chose Intel, but which Intel to get?
And since may said i need to set to ACHI mode before doing anything? But I've already have a Raid0 system...

Help..

Btw, where can I find any Intel SSD products man? >.<.
I just went to almost the whole of Low Yat Plaza, but none of them have the Intel 520/530/535 idk? some of them even said that it's kinda obsolete or something to that tone... I guess I'm stuck with the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB? or? :/

What's a Ram disk?

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?

If I set it to AHCI mode, I would believe that I'll not be able to detect my Raid0 data drives. Hence the reason why I had to change my Bios settings to "RAID" mode, and tweaked the windows registry to be able to boot it up in RAID mode from the previous AHCI mode before I added my Raid0 Data drives....

I'm also having that issue, that's why I had to edit the registry of my OS for my Drive C and D to be booted up on RAID mode to support my Drive G (which in a RAID0 config)... >.<

Darn.. they get a profit extra of RM30... their List price was RM659... oh wells. Thanks for the price check! Will bookmark that page!

Well... technically to my understanding, we can use either AHCI or RAID... I guess I'm having the rough setup as yours...
But to my understanding, regardless if we're using RAID mode without actually raiding the drives, the unraided drives would be automatically set to AHCI la. So should hget the SMARTness nonsense lol
