Just installed Plextor M5S 128GB on my Rampage 3 Formula X58 MB.

Intel Sata 2 - Read 280mb Write 200MB
Marvel Sata 3 - Read 400mb Write 200MB

I would like to know is there anyway that I can increase my read speed to 520mb as per advertise?
*
board native limitation. You need to connect it to marvell sata 3 port, and also remember to enable AHCI

So from your explanation, can I assume that from Windows Vista and above, we do not need to worry about alignment any more for any new SSD during fresh installation, is that correct? hmm.gif
*
Yes. Windows7 and 8 will auto align the drive at the beginning of the installation.

by spec wise M5S is faster. But for consistent and stable 4K read write performance, M500 out perform M5S

Hello, as I am going to install SSD into my ASUS lappy, few questions here.

1. The installation of SSD will void the warranty of my laptop?
2. If I change the DVD slot into my HDD, will it void my warranty too? And is it recommended to do so or just change the HDD to SSD and HDD become external hard disk?
3. Is there any converter that available for my DVD so I can use it as external?

Thanks for helping.

hi

for your case, it wont void your warranty. So don't worry

well yeah that's the most common constraint :/

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)

edit: bf4's 3rd dlc is released. downloading now. that makes the whole game about 40GB now biggrin.gif

Titanfall require 59.6G to install... laugh.gif
