This can backup our current system image and create a bootable? hmm.gif

Juse use Acronis TrueImage WD edition, or windows own backup utility.
The Rufus one only can create bootable disk from Windows 7/8 disc or Linux discs.

Hi Guy,

I wanted to get recommendation on portable SSD ? Any brand or model to consider ?

Just normal day to day workload (Use as main drive to store data & work between workstation/laptop), a value for money option. (Cost/GB)

Thanks

Grab a cheap SSD and put it into a 2.5inch hdd enclosure? or SATA to USB 3 adapter, im using one with USAP support, but with 320GB hdd only sweat.gif

nice smile.gif

in general there is no need to do 4k alignment like that. (perhaps w7 needs it, but i never do that on w8.x) usually i just do diskpart > clean > proceed with installation (w8.x; gpt disk; uefi mode). i haven't encountered any 4k alignment issues.
bro do you mind to share the information about your hdd enclosure? i wanna get some noctua fans at lyp, so if possible i just grab some hdd enclosures too.

Eh, im using my HDD naked sweat.gif
the SATA to USB3 adapter is made by Asus. if you want to grab you, better find the enclosure that support UASP mode.

oh lol! i am using normal hdd enclosure. the max it can go is 190MB/s

yeah the problem is that enclosures with uasp are rare here :/

190MB/s is damn fast already, i'm not sure if UASP going to increase the performance further. sweat.gif
Too bad i dont have spare SSD to test the UASP mode vs the normal mode.

Or just get it from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1JAB3...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

hm.. after reading through the right way to get that good speed, i think i will just sit this one out, and wait for usb 3.1.

i just remembered that some one in this forum have told me about the complete compatibility of usb 3.0 enclosures with uasp support. actually you need a compatible host also. uasp was implemented in older mobo's before (z77, z87 mobos. need to check out the actual implementations), but i guess for cost reasons and the limited availability of uasp-capable enclosures, that part was absent in new mobos (most z97 in the market, except for some that are from asus).

without the whole set, you will never get close to full speed, which is pointless imo.
first, back your data up while you can.

i am not sure if there is any place to fix the damaged part. maybe someone else have something to share.

i rarely change mobo and CPU so i wouldn't know much sweat.gif
i'm using Asus M5A99X for years, here are the fast inaccurate benchmark with UASP mode on and off:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


USB3 Thumbdrives are supported, tested with verbatim OTG and Sandisk extreme, both aren't even mention any "UASP" mode or boost feature on their package, i guess all of them work out of box.
i have yet to try the 1TB WD passport.

So far most of the ASUS board support this feature, i checked gigabyte mobo, some models does not seems to mention any of the USB3 boost related function sweat.gif

haha a lot of us don't do that either.

for uasp compatibility, it's kind of like a buzz thing at that point of time. moving forward, i guess usb3.1 is one of the good choices in near future.

right, only asus is persistent in having this on their mobos.
*
The UASP is kinda gimmicky sweat.gif i've tried both my external HDD, no transfer rate improvement except lower CPU utilization(like 3%)...
Now you know why most mobo maker didnt even bothered to add the functions tongue.gif

Turbo mode(different from UASP) does help a lot with flash storage though, free performance upgrade for old thumbdrive lol
