Hi, guys here, after you when to SSD of any realiable brand and still needs that highend model of SSD to instead of entry level SSD?

From what I knew is :
Sata 2 read/write speed 200/350

SATA 3 read/write speed 350/450
Or 6GB : 500/550?

Which one you prefer or died died must buy faster speed?

For me really don't think is speed very improtant. The most improtant on realiable with over 200/250 read/write speed I had appreciate already with that speed easily winner to HDD..

if i understand you correctly, in terms of consumer grade ssd's: if you're looking for reliability mainly and don't care about speed (you're happy with the sata2 speed), then most ssd's today can offer that. maybe you can choose one that has mlc nand chips with enterprise grade controller (like corsair neutron gtx, notably the older version with 25nm nand).

whether to get an entry level or high-end one, it's up to your usage requirements. to most users, they're the same except for several things that some care while some don't.

sata3 ssd's are common now. sata3 is 2x sata2 in terms of speed. if your computer supports sata3, then why not? again, whether you must 'die die' get sata3 ssd's or not is still up to you.

now, if you are really serious about reliability, you can go for enterprise ssd's, not normal consumer grade.

Thanks your explanation here.

you haven't turned the RAPID mode on for samsung evo. right, for common usage there is not much difference.
samsung 840 pro is an enthusiast consumer ssd. if you need to use a ssd for enterprise server apps with high read/write's, it's better to get the enterprise grade. alternatively, plan your deployments to use ramdisk and hdd if necessary.
plextor is one of the better ones (like intel and samsung). i have 2.5" and msata ssd's from them. never had an issue.
if you refer performance to speed only, normally yes the speed increases with size but slightly, but not necessarily. for instance, http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/extreme-ii/

for now, usually 240gb range is the sweet spot. (and sometimes in terms of speed this range has better results).
*
I am not using any RAPID setup yet.
That is just for speed test.
My result still prefer on intel 530 good than enough

What system r u upgrade from?

Ok listen to me, I got rMBP read/write an over 600mbs.

But I still feel my recently upgrade & review on intel 530 240gb SSD good than enough to handle all the ways.

Just grab within your budget and tell urself you are not using HDD anymore.

For normal user, does 120gb enough? sweet spot for price/performance/capacity.

Enough for extra HDD for backup drive.
The main to boot with 128gb SSD only..

we hope things can be that easy for ocz consumer ssd's. unfortunately ocz always like to prove us wrong.

the current sweet spot is 240-256gb based on price/performance/capacity (performance means read/write speeds and iops). if you must get it like right now and you have budget constraints, then 120gb is still better than lower capacity ones.
*
128gb really sweet on budget space.
Most of time really suffer on space not enough have to think where you want to clean out before install another app.
Everything to be control like hell sad.gif

That's what my experience on MBA running 128GB SSD.

don't force yourself to buy as what you can't do at the moment now.

For me I would go for 840 Evo that is really fast than 840 series.
Even intel 530 for me is good than enough.
For boot up and loading really fast than traditional HDD.

Cause I believe in the technology wise by today can be write up to 900mbs and next day coming up write in 1500mbs, we can follow that but at lease we use in advance technology than traditional motor spin with control by rpm only. smile.gif

Gaming? Frame per seconds? Or does he means the loads time in-game?
I would say take the WDC Black, better responsive vs normal HDD, in the case of Seagate SSHD, I guess it's just a small cache to compensate some small files for frequent loading so I don't think it'll help much in terms of loading games data (huge), it'll still loads from the HDD itself so the speed is still slower compare to WDC Black.

Suggest him SSD... no turning back...  whistling.gif

If I not wrong for black WD SSD read 200 & write around 200 mbs = sata 2 speed.

But still better than seagate hybrid drive

Extreme II is beyond my budget and I opt not to choose SandForce controller. Its either Ultra Plus or M5S 256gb.

No problem as your budget more important
