QUOTE(marfccy @ Apr 21 2014, 04:47 PM) read speed wise, theyre more or less similar as its the SATA ports thatll throttle their speed more than the SSD maybe ill take intel or samsung....does ssd easily spoil? should i take intel with extra warranty or just get samsung..as for write speeds, Intel 530, Corsair Force LS and Samsung 840 Evo is the fastest among the top but theyre still more or less similar in perf due to limitations of SATA3 port |

QUOTE(DeepMemory @ Apr 27 2014, 11:47 AM) No need to enable Intel Rapid Start and Smart Connect to use the SSD. Just plug the SSD into the pc and change SATA mode to AHCI and install new OS into the drive my ssd boot from beep to finish login around 15 seconds...i see boot logo>window logo(no loading)>straight login then i see some youtube video just boot around 7 seconds boot logo>straight login any recommend tweak i should go my system Intel I5 3470 @ 3.2 GHz Asus P8B75M-LX Elixir 4GB DDR3 1600 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue 2TB Western Digital Caviar Green |
