Very good drive but I have to admit I sent back all my 64GB M4's from Staples , because they din't have enough space and not just that but the price drop on the bigger SSD's had me reconsider
In order for a muscle to grow, strength to be gained, performance to increase, , the human body must be forced to adapt to a tension that is above and beyond what it has previously experienced. ![]() |

I love my 64gb 830. I have it as a cache drive with intel's SRT to my primary 500gb drive. Boot times are insanely fast now (~15-20 secs) and my usually played games also fly through load times. At the time of purchase larger SSDs were out of my price range, but this inexpensive upgrade has given my system a solid noticeable speed boost.

This drive specs:
Max Sequential ReadUp to 520 MB/s Max Sequential WriteUp to 160 MB/s 4KB Random ReadUp to 75,000 IOPS 4KB Random WriteUp to 16,000 IOPS I would spend the extra $30 for a drive with 3x the write speeds and 2x the capacity and 4x the IOPS for writing at least. Example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6820211588 Max Sequential ReadUp to 550MB/s Max Sequential WriteUp to 510MB/s 4KB Random WriteUp to 60,000 IOPS Even this would be a better choice IMO for only $10 more: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Mom...440&sr=8-1 Last edited by Gameross; 04-18-2012 at 03:53 AM.. |

I have been wanting to get into the SSD. I have not had much time to research them. I thought I read somewhere that SSD's are not good if you are always installing stuff and erasing stuff. something with fragmentation, there is no defrag on SSD's. I download lots of blueprints, review them and erase them on a weekly basis.
Any thoughts? |
