i think for that part you might wanna do a small research by yourself. you can also scout garage sales for better price tags.

no idea about how good a gskill phoenix iii is. to me it's a typical sandforce sf-2281 drive, released in 2013. compared to s900, i will still pick up liteon.

ok, seems like i have limitation on my mobo as well cos im using B85 killer..absence of RAID so cant really 2 SSD. and SRT, do I really need it for SSD? my mobo dont have that support

the minimal requirement is ahci, which i believe is available in new mobos. no you don't need srt. it's for ssd caching.

I buy from ETechpc PM him for best price.

thank you for the help! had to google for AHCI, but managed to read more about SRT =)

no problem

you can use either intel rapid storage driver (normally the floppy version of driver will do the job) or native ahci driver from ms.

Hai guy.. can share with me any good article about ssd optimization on win 8.1.. just bought new liteon ssd and new window..

Check out the first page of this thread. The link is there. While you're at it, check out all the information posted there. There are a lot of good information.

How much in RM will this be selling

Just a rough comparison: 1x gtx 980 ti reference is usd 650. 1x 850 evo 2tb is usd 800. (Pro is usd 1k) with the price of 850 evo 2tb, i can get 980 ti and 1x 850 pro 256gb dy (newegg is selling at usd 145. still have changes for 1x iced blended mocha large hehehe)

Siao.

Then i guess is 5 more years from now 4 the SSD 2TB more affordable

maybe. however in terms of pricing, it's projected that in 2016 we will see ssds priced the same as hdd for the first time (ok i twisted this part hehe go look at the report), and it will continue to drop, http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/Evolution_of_All...y_Architectures

If for liteon which model i should check for latest firmware updates ? Scs or lcs ?

How reliable with firmware updates when comparing with intel SSD ?

horns Been a month now , Any news on trim bug fix on linux system ? As for liteon on , does this brand affected too ?

Uh? It depends on what your liteon model is. Just get the right one based on model.

No news about that linux trim thing. (It's up to manufacturers not kernel developers) If you're worried just avoid those in the black list. So far I don't see anything about liteon being affected.

Edit: this is not a bug. this is about incompatibity.

Using intel 525 and I can say more that 1 year already no firmware updates.

there is no need for firmware updates if the product is running fine. it's like your mobo. there is no need to apply bios updates if the current one work flawlessly (unless there are critical bugs or incompatibilities that must be fixed). no firmware updates don't mean that it's a bad thing.

oem drives seldom get firmware updates, and afaik they are still good.

Any sifu can give comments on PNY XLR8 ssd? Thinking of getting one since its cheap.

from the specs, it's a sandforce drive (2241 for 120gb, 2281 for those with higher capacities). it should be good enough for common use in general.

any review on Samsung PM871 256GB?? can't find any
btw got any other recommendation for 240/256GB SSD. budget RM399.99
