(Storage) SSD Discussion Thread

i dont really feel that its a full minute according to bootracer.

i think i should time it myself lol....

u can also check in windows event viewer - boot duration (event 100), found under diagnostics-perf. it includes 10sec idle time, so subtract 10sec (10000ms) from the number.

quick question guys

between intel 330 and 520 120gb, is it worth the 50bucks difference even though the internals and controller is the same?

Just bought an intel 330 ssd 120gb, plan to do a fresh install of win7 and use the old hdd as data hdd. Anything for me to take note of? Thanks for advice and help.

I've just installed in 60GB Kingston V+200 SSD into my Acer V3-471G but is getting very low figures for my crystal mark tests.

From my Intel RST window, I can see that it is connected to a SATA3 6Gbps port, with physical and logical sector size being set as 512 bytes. I've also enable AHCI in bios.

On paper, it should be getting
60GB (SVP200S3/60G)
Sequential Reads - 535 MB/s
Sequential Writes - 460 MB/s
Sustained Random 4k Read - 12,000/47,000 IOPS
Max Random 4k Read - 85,000/60,000 IOPS

This is what i am getting

Sequential Reads - 202MB/s
Sequential Writes - 61MB/s
Sustained Random 4k Read - 6,326/14,864IOPS
Max Random 4k Read - 20,117/13,602IOPS

What could be wrong? can anyone help?

Wah you also also got problem with this ssd. My windows won't boot with ide, I have to switch to ahci then it works. Is it not detecting even in bios?

 

[kreja]

i couldnt even install win7 on the ssd ;(

 

[jovially]

Need some advise.
I will need to upgrade my SSD from 120G to 180G.
Should I connect both the SSD when installing win 7? Will it allow me to select the correct SSD for the OS?
How to reformat my 120Gb SSD (OS drive) so that I can use it for data drive? Thanks.
