YA.. i understand bcos now im having prob wth boot. but how to clone 1tb hdd to 240gb ssd. help plz wth tips..... thanks

oh my. it's not that hard to find a video tutorial like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh4uRhWwZT0 at youtube :/

Just bought the Liteon 900s for RM390. Such a good deal. Unfortunately don't have enough time to install windows in it.

yup.. I can confirmed this as an owner of CQ40 lappy
But what the heck, still using a transcend 256GB with it
Atleast it faster than the hdd

that's sifoo horns for ya... hahaha...
I did do the Raid0 config on my system as u suggested long time ago bro...
Pairing my 2x 256GB Transcend 370s and have removed all the hdd to and docking...
and taking out 4GB from ram for ramdisk setup for all temp & scratch disk...
but the ramdisk is only run at 4k read, 6k write since it was DDR3 1866mhz...
unfortunately, i havent sent my mobo yet to repair the dead #3 & #4 ram slot...
so, sticking with 16GB single-channel atm... another 16GB is kept fine in their box...

wow. considering weak ringgit and all, it's really a damn good deal.

yeah ssd raid0 should speed up productivity in your work. however, why do you need to remove hdds? i think it's still better to have a fixed hdd for data storage. (much faster than external storage)

although it doesn't matter, your ramdisk is kind of slow. (maybe due to single-channel mode) but how come your ram is running at single-channel mode? 16gb should be 2x8gb no? i thought with a pair of ram should run at dual-channel mode. the seq. speeds of my laptop with ddr3 1600mhz is running at 9k read, 12k write:


on a side note about single-channel, dual-channel and quad-channel modes in ram, tbh their performance is about the same in common usage. yeah benchmarks will show otherwise, but most users don't buy computers just to run benchmarks.

.. and imo it's better for you to find time to fix the mobo.

Guys, between Samsung EVO 750 120GB SSD VS Patriot Blast 120GB SSD which one u will choose? Diffrrent price Samsung is more expensive RM40 from Patriot Blast.

you say like this must belanja sifoo horns teh tarik tau

haha.. btw i have made a mistake. since there were 2 posts asking about 750 evo already, so i think i must have missed something out. apparently, there were rumors floating around about samsung 750 evo (it was said that the page for this ssd was accidentally published very briefly then taken down at samsung japan website). here is what i found out:

1. grade - value/ entry-level ssd;
2. controller - samsung mgx; the same one used in 850 evo and large-capacity 850 pro;
3. nand flash - 2d tlc (it was said to be similar to 840 evo)

if the rumor is good, then imo it's a 840 evo with a new controller.

edit: many said the price will be much cheaper. how much cheaper, not sure yet.

Samsung 750 EVO 120GB RM225 inclusive 6% GST

can i know where u can get for that price

It's a good deal?

Sounds about right for 120GB.

not all of em.. just the all 1TB hdds... there's a single 3TB in there thought... storage for all my videos and images for work...

yes, 2x8GB stick... but, like i said earlier...i had a broken slots #3 & #4 so, i'm not being able to run a dual-channel mode...

i had found the replacement for my old LGA1156 mobo... maybe after replace it into my rig, i'm gonna sent the mobo thought...

oh so it's here now. it should be a good news for many imo. the price is competitive. what about the price of other capacities?

oh haha

yeah now i understand why you got single-channel mode lol!

i got some ssd370s 256gb for some work thing. now do a disk-to-disk cloning with its ssd scope.

For at the moment got 120gb only..

oh ok. hopefully 240gb and up will follow very soon imo it's the sign of ssd price dropping next year onward.

edit: cloning done. well, i must say, the system cloning feature in transcend ssd scope is very straight forward, and the migration (w10 home single language) was painless. i connected ssd370s to the laptop via sata usb adapter. ran ssd scope, and choose system cloning, then select os partition only. i have resized the os partition to become smaller than my ssd (via disk management), so it started straight away. after the cloning was complete, shut down the computer, and just replace the stock hdd with ssd and boot. everything is good.

performance wise, it's good enough. for those who use performance drives regularly, you will definitely notice performance differences. imo, it's still good enough for common use.

I am hoping 1tb ssd can get leas than 1k i will grab it 4 sure

maybe this will be true this or next year. with tlc nand, it will be available sooner or later. note that while tlc ssds are taking over and making ssd price much more affordable, mlc ssds are expected to get more expensive in near future.

for most users, it's not that important, as long as tlc chip performance is improved to become close to mlc.

guys, so i kinda noticed that my motherboard (Asus Maximus VII Gene) has a M.2 slot (picture below), was wondering are there any real differences
in performance when comparing between both M.2 vs standard sata ssd? (apart from speed ofc).

If yes, i might be inclined on using that opportunity and buying a M.2 stick myself. Do you have any recommendation on the models around 120GB range?

Thanks
