Just want to make sure that SSD can be used on both desktop and laptop?
Gonna buy one SSD for my desktop (probably ssd kingston 240gb) and then in the next few months buy a new laptop and use this SSD on my laptop |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Dec 31 2018, 12:45 PM) Kingston A400 240GB is trash. Look for Seagate Barracuda 250GB. Should be around RM150ish from shopee. Ok will look into it. So it is compatible with both laptop and desktop right? Might swap into laptop in future |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 6 2019, 03:37 PM) Add an extra RM19 for a better SSD Say If I buy this SSD for my desktop use as OS. In the future if I buy a laptop can I somehow put this SSD internally so it works as OS? Can't right?Samsung 860 EVO 250GB for RM219 https://shopee.com.my/Samsung-860-EVO-SSD-S...9596.1265119613 I notice there is Sata and M.2 version for SSD. Only M.2 can be assembled inside laptop (internally). Correct me if I am wrong. |

Currently I am having 1 SSD (WD Green 240GB) and 2 HDD on my desktop using Z77-D3H motherboard. All 3 are connected using SATA cables.
I am planning to buy a new 1TB SSD to install as my main OS and also play games on here. But then I just realised that it looks like M.2 SSD doesn't work on my MOBO. So my choice is to remove one of my old HDD and buy a new SATA HDD. (only max 3 SATA slots) I am looking at WD Blue 3D NAND (WDS100T2B0A). What do you guys think about this?

QUOTE(EBBattlefield @ Apr 25 2020, 02:50 PM) I count 5 SATA slots, 1 mSATA slot. Thanks for this pic. It is 99% same except my SATA2 shows (5,4,3,2) and SATA3 (1,0) is on top of each other and not side by side like in pictureShould be standard 2+4 config, so it shouldnt disable anything with mSATA plugged in. Maybe TS buta, maybe TS SATA 3 slots kaput already. IIRC, SATA III is by chipset and SATA II is by 2nd controller. but IMO, mSATA is more obsolete than M.2 or SATA already. might as well go for SATA since speed is same and you dont be able to use mSATA on any future systems anyway.  Yes I was buta and quite newbie on this. So the SATA2 (2,3,4,5) is Sata 2.0 And SATA3 (1,0) is Sata 3.0 which is faster? Anyway I just bought Crucial MX500 1TB SSD, which I will be installing OS on it soon. So this should go to the SATA3 (white colour) one while all remaining for storage is connected to SATA2 (blue). Correct me if I am wrong This post has been edited by SkyHermit: Apr 25 2020, 07:37 PM |

QUOTE(puifah @ Apr 25 2020, 11:04 PM) what the owner have is Z77-D3H which is have 6 SATA ports Thanks. Now it is all good.  spec is below : Chipset: 1. 2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0/SATA3 1) supporting up to 2 SATA 6Gb/s devices 2. 4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2 2~SATA2 5) supporting up to 4 SATA 3Gb/s devices 3. 1 x mSATA connector * The SATA2 5 connector will become unavailable when the mSATA connector is installed with a solid state drive. 4. Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 * When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected. My newly bought Corsair 500MX 1TB SSD is connected to SATA3 0 as my main OS, and the 250GB WD SSD is connected to SATA3 1. The remaining 2 HDD connected to SATA2. Anyway, just used HD Tune Pro to check the health of this new SSD (Corsair MX500). C7 (interface CRC Error Count) shows attention. Status : There were communication errors. This may be caused by a damaged cable. Since I am using old SATA cable. Should I be worried about this? Or just normal cable problem. screenshot |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 26 2020, 11:46 PM) You're doing it wrongly Based on this comparison,The 250GB SSD should be used for Windows & programs The 1TB SSD should be used as games installation and what not This way when you want to format Windows, you just format the 250GB SSD, not the 1TB SSD Aiyah, this one also need to ask meh? Just replace the cable lor  https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/WD-Bl...191455vsm406099 It seems like MX500 1TB SSD performs faster than my WD Blue, so I am using my MX500 1TB as my main OS with games in it. If I want to format my OS, then i just moved the game to the 250GB SSD. Ya, I will just buy a new cable for that issue.  This post has been edited by SkyHermit: Apr 27 2020, 09:42 AM |
