Buying an new SSD and upgrade on my laptop is like a brand new Laptop. So speedy and fluid.

Viewnet LYP

yup, install ssd into laptop have total different speed from hdd

Viewnet got? How much you bought?

I get it by 370

I bought same price as yours from ETechPC. Shipping add RM8.

is intel 520 series 240GB @ rm350 a good deal? or liteon s900 256gb better?

im thinking to upgrade my current SSD @ Samsung EVO 840 120GB to something better.

but currently in dilemma and i don't know which one is the best for budget around RM350.

I would pick whichever value for GB/RM.
Quick Google found that Intel520series came out around 2012Q1 while LiteonS900(M5Pro) are around 2012Q3. But obviously Liteon are newer based on manufacturing.

I don't think you can get any upgrade version of Samsung SSD at budget RM350.

i mean any other brand will do.

Performance more or less same. I would look for 250GB at your budget range

could you recommend me best SSD in terms of overall performance for 256GB?

Currently best bang for bucks is Liteon S900 128/256GB. A rebadge products of Plextor M5Pro. You even see those sifu at Rig Recommendation thread suggest to take this model as well.

liteon s900 256gb. for general use, it's more than sufficient. it's a newer, good drive imo.

Liteon S900 no 512GB...?

Any good brands for 480GB and above...?

there are plenty, e..g plextor m6s/m6pro, crucial mx100/m550, and samsung 850 pro. the cheapest of all for now is transcend ssd370.

The date of manufacture tells very little. Even newer is not better with ssds since newer tlc memory and smaller process nodes have a shorter lifespan.

The big difference is that the Intel 520 is using a sandforce controller and has had issues with it int the past. Liteon is using newer 19nm nand and is faster in sequential writes with incompressible data.

Any recommendations for a cheaper ssd? Looking at Liteon Mu series 256Gb for RM359, S900 for RM380, Transcend 370, Adata SP610.

Idealtech have sell Intel 530 120GB RM299 5 years warranty.

He looking for 250GB one.
