Offtopic, if I use TP link products due to a closed friend of mine are selling this as their main brand networking products.
What other brand you recommend?

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

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

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.

Hi everyone here, i need some suggestions, noobie here...
Im using lenovo y510p, im looking forward to add 1 ssd into my laptop.
It now has 1tb hdd on the board and a m.2(ngff) slot,
1) If i buy a normal 2.5" ssd to replace the hdd inside, n shift the hdd to my ultrabay (with the purchase of hdd caddy), will the warranty get voided? do i have  to reformat my windows if i were to use the ssd as my windows boot up drive?
2) if i buy a m.2(ngff) ssd n slot it in, could it be the windows boot up drive or only act as a storage drive?

Budget is kinda limited, i saw m.2(ngff) ssd is so expensive, it is like 3x the price of normal 2.5' ssd sad.gif

*extra question, when i just starting up my windows 8.1 laptop (or sometimes randomly), the disk usage get 100% for like 5-10minutes, why is it like this? is it that i torrent too much n hurt the hdd? sad.gif
*
Never use torrent on SSD. Read/Write not worth to spend on that usage. Use HDD for torrenting.

If low on budget, follow my style. Buy 2.5" SSD and put inside and swap the 1TB to caddy. As for warranty you have to refer back to Lenovo. Not sure they honor the warranty or not if you DIY.

PS. I'm a Lenovo Z400T user, there are void warranty sticker on it if you DIY. So you have to ask Lenovo service center.

is it adding a memory ,same model as u, my phone will become more smooth / fast?

btw,i am using s3 too.
*
Smartphone won't go faster or smooth by adding better SDCard.

ROM and the eMMc are main culprit.

Hi I just bought an ssd and clone with my hdd, now I want to use the hdd as second drive in optical drive bay do I need to format the hdd that with windows inside?

I would stay away from Kingston V300 after you reading this:

And I bought the Liteon 900S 256GB from him ETechPC with 3years warranty.
