guys, can I migrate only my OS from HDD to SSD without compromising my files and games in the HDD?
Yes
But the best method is still a clean installation of Windows

My laptop has been configured with 32gb mSATA SSD as cache drive when 3-4 years ago.
State the brand & model number of your laptop
Some laptop can only fit half-height mSATA cards, so need to make sure which can fit in your laptop

Alright, M14x R2 do use full sized mSATA

right you can use full-sized msata ssd.

from your list, i think micron m550 and liteon 256m6m should be ok.
The short term warranty is kinda risky though

SSD rarely fails but we have to remember the lemon's law

Jayi I know your budget is only RM300 but I advise you to add a few more bucks to get a full warranty 240GB/250GB/256GB mSATA instead
120GB/128GB is way too small for current use unless you don't play games at all

Kingston MS200 240GB is available for RM348 with 3 year manufacturing warranty

Which one is better, clean install or use the refresh setting?
Clean install is always the best choice compared to cloning

Hi guys, want to ask if 120gb enough for win10 and abit of software + 1 or 2 games?
Yes, but not advisable
There are lots of 240GB/250GB/256GB in the market now that is quite cheap nowadays

Don't know. I've used lots of SSD's over the years but the longest is about 2 year and haven't had any failed SSD

Used from the cheapest SSD Kingston HyperX 128GB till the most expensive Samsung 950 Pro 512GB
They all run just fine

Lol, if not exceeding RM700 and for a 7mm 2.5" SATA SSD, can I say Samsung 850 EVO is one of the best I can buy?
Yes

But if no budget contrains, jump ahead to the NVME bandwagon like me with Samsung 950 Pro brows.gif

that plextor is fucking cheap!
but the weird thing is only 3 years warranty..i suppose it should have 5 years warranty for PRO version?
That is the Pro version
The SSD comes at a cheap price because of the 3 year warranty instead of the original 5 year

is there adapters to account for it?
You can use the adapter like in the image below
I'm using the same adapter on my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK with the Samsung 950 Pro
You can use it in the PCI-E x16 slot. Works perfectly
Bought it from eBay for RM24 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/111980528613

Well thats the issue, as im on a mITX mobi, so there is only space for one slot
Nothing can be done
Or change to a different ITX board with M.2 slot onboard

After a month of usage, my SSD now says 99% life, should i be worrying?
I'm not a Kingston hater but truthfully, V300 & HyperX Fury is a piece of crap
My stepmother bought a HyperX Fury 120GB & it dies in less than 6 month
She only use her laptop for work purposes. After waiting 1 month for RMA, Kingston replaced it with a new unit & then the new unit died again after 2 months

Their SAVAGE SSD lineup on are much more reliable albeit at a higher price

Would this fit into my laptop (Asus N56vz) ?
ASUS N56VZ uses 12.7MM DVD Drive
So you should look for a 12.7MM Dual HDD Caddy

.. is this even necessary?
Like I said earlier, LED's on SSD is useless really. For RAMs, ok la but only to those RAMs with LED that show the activity of the PC such as Crucial Ballistix Tracer & Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer

Those with static LEDs are useless, more to bling only whistling.gif
