Lazada after 15% voucher.

Ah.

I got another 10% off from Lazada if I am not mistaken.



Let me try my luck a little.

Sandisk Ultra 2 user here . and Samsung t1 external ssd 250gb

Hi Horns.
After optimize the SSD in Win 8, the startup time is slower than 1st windows booting (after install ssd).

you must have turned the hibernation / fastboot feature off. (it's part of ssd optimizations; but it impacts boot speed) you can just turn it back on for fastboot.

in general, each ssd optimization might impact certain parts of your system. it's just a matter of 'give and take'. they should be applied based on outcomes that you need. you don't need to apply the whole thing.

Ya. Thanks Horns.
After turn on back the hibernation the startup time is back to normal. But restart pc time is slower than shut down->power on time. Izzit normal?

yes, it's normal.

with ssd (even if it's a sata ssd) my computers boots fast enough for me. the more important thing is still when i am in the desktop. i want everything to be snappy.

hmm...samsung 850 evo 500gb @ rm800 good buy? i remember it was > 1k not long ago..

to me, yes it's cheap.

from the price list of viewnet:
1. samsung 850 evo 500g - myr 789
2. transcend ssd370 512g - myr 779

myr 10 for 2 additional years of warranty.

wo intel 750 is also on that list now.

Im currently looking for ppl to sell their 512gb ssd..
Do pm me if u guys wanna sell..

uh? why go for used ssds when you can grab a new one? it's not that it will be sold at much cheaper price.

Where should I install my programs below on SSD or HDD?
1) Steampowered
2) Chrome
3) Lightroom
4) Download Manager
5) Microsoft Office

My server plan to install SSD. If Win2008 r2 remain at HDD then SQL database located at SSD, will the reading of database improve?

you install applications in ssd, then configure it to store files in hdd.

in general, yes, definitely. however i think it's better to use ssd for os, software, and data for much better overall speed. if possible go for enterprise ssds that have decent qualities to support write intensive workloads. use hdd as local system and data backups. periodically create copies of the same in hdd and store in external storage.

Yes, we bought Dell 200GB SAS SLC 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Drive, cost us about RM 6.5K. Due to only 200GB so maybe only put SQL database.

Oh great. If that's the case why not invest a few hundred more for another 240gb entry level enterprice sata/sas mlc ssd as os drive? (For os drive you don't need slc. It's much cheaper)

WTA: Anybody interested in a barely-used Kingston HyperX Predator 240GB? The type of work I do is too lightweight to justify owning this kind of SSD.

I'm open to trades with HyperX 3K 240GB plus some cash.

from the report at pugetsystems (https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Product-Review-Samsung-950-Pro-512GB-M-2-Drive-725/), it's unfortunate that samsung 950 pro doesn't really overcome the high temperature issue like previous xp941 and sm951. as advertised, samsung 950 pro will activate thermal throttling protection by bringing down speeds to around sata speed, when its temperature is high.

for better sustainable performance, use a pcie adapter with heatsink if you have such a drive.

well, physics is still physics.

nice stuff there. all the best on the sale

I'm planning to buy lite-on 900S 128GB or 256GB

does it comes with 2.5" external enclosure?

if not, what your cheap recommended USB3.0 external enclosure?
