I bought this OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and it come with this little sticker that says "MY SSD IS FASTER THAN YOUR HDD "

I got another version of saying "My SSD got more BSODs than your HDD"

Sandforce issue.... My Force GT also BSODs every now and then. It seems like an issue related to TRIM and low power handling.

Intel is always the original with good reputation.

the rest paid advertisers to write the good but omit the bad.

Well better stick to this conventional HDD for good....lost faith in SSD

You can try Crucial M4 series, Intel 320 (though they have a bug that affects a small percentage of the users out there)..

And i don think the DVD writer will be affected with any of those ports.

Initially i was looking at Corsair Force Series GT SATA-3 120GB.. but so far i saw many comments on Crucial M4 saying that its stable. Uhm, should i go for Crucial M4 128GB?

Crucial is using the same chipset as intel which is more stable? Anyway, I would not buy the M4 locally, ridiculously high mark up for the 120gb version..

The distros for SSDs here are really taking us for stool pigeons..

BSODs every now and then on win7 is already a major turn off. My old rig has so far only BSOD 1-2 times during my 4 yrs usage. Using a normal SATA2 HDD that is with win7..

hopefully by nov-dec. less.. issue prone. thanks 4 the link.

Clicked on that link and all I see are tons of ongoing and unsolved issues.. looks like OCZ is the pits..

 

[ComPuiTer]

SO which Brand SSD is more stable now?

 

[IntelligenceA]

so the crucial from linkecomputer includes the SATA cable and cloning disk? any who has bought and knows?

 

[Mr.Ziggles]

Damn, i just bought Crucial M4 128GB from pcthemes. The price was alright, it doesnt come with any cable or disk BUT im having trouble plugging in the cable that links to the power supply. zzz Need to go back there again tml.

It's a substantial savings if you ordered the M4 128gb from linke. Anyway, shouldn't sata power cables be the same?

 

[Mr.Ziggles]

YEAH ! Thats the problem ! i plug in to my HDD, can. i plug in to my SSD can only go halfway -.- i know it sounds ridiculous. zzzz

 

[yancm2]

No, it does not include sata cable and cloning disk

 

[IntelligenceA]

is it better to use a cloning disk?

or should i back up my windows on disks then restore after plugging in my ssd?

 

[wacko]

it's better to do a clean install.
