OK, some feedback:
I tried an OCZ 60GB SDD SATA with WinXP. I liked it, very light and very low power consumption but I was annoyed by the little free space. Then I put in a 320Gb 7200rpm HDD, upgraded to 4Gb RAM and installed Win7-64bit and some 150Mb of Win7 specific notebook tools (the ones I had before were for WinXP). Jesus, that is fast now!!!!! I will never say anything bad about Bill Gates again...LOL So I will stick with the 320Gb HDD it has enough space for me (I also have a 600Gb 7200rpm HDD but I am too lazy to re-install). I know, I should try now to install Win7-64 to the 60Gb SSD and see how the performance is but I am too lazy and, it is the hard disk space that was important for me so the 60Gb SSD would have been too small for the task anyways. Summary: Win7-64bit it seems it does make a difference! Thanks for all the advice Igo kyu and Katana! ~S~ |

Samsung 830 series is fast enough, a good buy for the money and Samsung has made a really good controller, which is even better than current sandforce, etc. drivers in "all-day-using".
Fast read-write perfomance on the box of a card is measured on generic tests/benchmarks, which do not happen in real life. In real-life usage, the Samsung are currently top edge! Top edge means not, that they are the best, but in current setups, currently used Sata, etc. Samsung did a great job. I have mine for 4 months now and I am very happy, although I have an old mainboard, which only gives me SATA 300 speed. But in real-life usage, the SATA 600 sure gives u more performance, but in most situations, you are fast enough with SATA 300. I just said that, if someone has a SATA 300 as well (it is not so bad to have it plugged in SATA 300 until you get a new mainboard). So, my recommeded SSD is currently the Samsung 830 series (256 GB i would say) with good controllers, which are currently forcing the other big brands to rework in their middle class range to reach the same! But nevertheless, nearly every SSD is fast enough, that u really feel it ![]() Last edited by Stublerone; 05-20-2012 at 10:18 PM. |

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HD-077-OC I'm tempted to buy one more, not that you can RAID SSD's and retain TRIM yet that I know? but I'm good to go for my flight sims on just SSD now and older mechanical HD's for bulk storage. It goes without saying that we will all be using SSD's in time and look back on those old quaint hard drives the way we do just now on old floppy drives. All we need now for the SSD market is to get the larger capacity ones to drop much more in price for this technology to really take off. And it will.

Don't need to purchase and ssd, run clod from ram it is faster. Below is a link to a forum discussion, the two apps you need to do it.
