OS master, slave for data.

AHCI is better for SSDs

OMG... to think I almost bought the 320 series.. Sudden death without cause?

I am still having a P45 motherboard, with the OCZ Vertex 2 120GB currently below $300, is it a good purchase?

Or, I should spend more on Vertex 3 or other brand?

Lately, I've been hearing that almost all of the SF-controlled SSD's are experiencing various issues (BSODs, freezing, 8mb bug etc etc). I'm guessing that's pretty much most of the SATA III SSD's ? Need some opinions in this, as I have an ASUS G53Sw and looking to buy an SSD before the end of the month :x

Thanks in advance!

You try call to ask the intel rep lor.
btw 510 is use SLC flash right?

OMG... to think I almost bought the 320 series.. Sudden death without cause?

Firmware problem, SSDs dun die out of a sudden, unless the flash die.

 

[fantasyrulz]

i think its wise to go for sata 2 then 3...
wait for it to mature before going into it will be a wiser choice

currently im at sata3 sandy bridge..
fast is fast but after my windows update, i cant even boot my system
there is just too much things going on in sata3

 

[fantasyrulz]

The Intel 510 is MLC I believe. SLC would cost too much. And now I've got a good mind to get the Intel 510 instead since it's the only SSD that's relatively problem-free. Or at least I haven't heard any issues about it.

Intel haven make noise about firmwares yet

Yea, hope they solve the problem before i got enough money to buy one of the ssds, if not need to get 510(more expensive)
And btw, why 510 more expensive?

 

[fantasyrulz]

and disable all those sleep, turn off hdd options

if im not wrong 510 supports sata3 just like for ocz vertex 2 to vertex 3

FYI

OCZ Vertex 2 / Intel 320 - SATA II or SATA 3GB/s

OCZ Vertex 3 /Intel 510 - SATA III or SATA 6GB/s

If your notebook is SATA II then getting a SATA II like the OCZ Vertex 2 is good enough. SATA III SSD will get bottlenecked by your notebook
