So far magician is best of all that I have seen. The migration software can even clone OS from different disk array with no hicups to SSD.

Is the difference in speed between a Plextor M5S and a Samsung 840 PRO noticeable?

Stuck between a 128gb plextor M5S or 256 GB 840 PRO (due to stock shortage).

Do you guys use up 128gb easily?

Still have 128 here

I just get Agility 3 as replacement for RMA's Vertex Plus. But the performance is lower than my previous Vertex Plus even though Vertex Plus is SATA II.

Is Vertex Plus still in warranty after Toshiba took over?

samsung 840 evo user and previously using crucial m4. almost every time i boot my system, i'll stuck at window logo black screen for almost a min or 2 before booting into windows. even previously on m4. i migrated the OS to my new samsung 840.
FYI, i OC my system, is it due to this problem or is the windows corrupted? revert all my oc to default and boot up still the same. what seems to be the problem here. my ssd boots slower than a normal hdd..  cry.gif

My 840 Pro boots Win 8.1 in 2 secs. the circle turns one and half times most and I got logged into desktop.
A fresh install would help. nod.gif

samsung magician users go grab version 4.4. it comes with new rapid algorithm with increased ram cap from 1gb to 4gb.

remember to read the installation guide. it tells you a lot more about the precautions and limitations.

I just upgraded my HDD + Magician 4.4

something like this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/295490-3...pcie-based-bios

it's about compatibility issues of older mobo's. newer mobo's should be compatible. that's why i said, 'unless your mobo let you do so'. for m6e i put it like that as a heads up, so that the users who are interested in this ssd should check out the mobo compatibility first before getting the card (maybe my sentence created more confusions than a heads up lol!). i did come across other weird stuff. for instance when i did a research on micron drives previously, they offer 2 types of pcie ssd's, one with bootable option, one without. why? i am not sure also (http://www.micron.com/-/media/documents/products/software/p420m_p320h_boot_drive_installation_guide.pdf)

lol! sata-e is not my type either. m.2 slots are more slick smile.gif
right smile.gif for mac, it's using pcie x4 m.2 to be exact. (only the m.2 ssd, without the pcie adapter) pc has kept up with this. i am using the same samsung xp941 with asrock z97 extreme 6.
yes apple is using full 4-lane pcie m.2 ssd. it's a m.2 type 2280 (80mm).

I say using XP941 in consumer environment is insane rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

With that money I go with 2 M2 SSD
Even 1 M2 can beat speed/performance of raid Evo x2 hands down.

I am having Evo 1TB in laptop too, no bias on your upcoming Evo setup up icon_rolleyes.gif peace peace
