I got my drive. Been using it the past couple weeks now and I have some impressions. It didn't come with a 2.5" drive adapter. I got one from Amazon. Installation was easy enough, got Win7 up and running.
Windows Experience score was a 7.3! I was pleasantly surprised. I heard reports of Samsung's getting 7.7's or thereabouts. At $140 I'm not complaining, I'd rather save some money and get something still very fast. I don't need the fastest thing out there. Windows Experience score with my 10k rpm Raptor is a 5.9. A massive difference from the SSD. I'm thinking of getting another of these if they hold up. I'm concerned about reliability. I know IO speeds were underclocked on this model so it would run at lower temps. I think Sandisk meant for these to be used in laptops. I'd go with reliability over performance especially if you're talking about SSD's. Besides, a Windows Experience score of 7.3 is hardly slow. It's hard to beat this value.

(12.79MB / 1 x 4(for 4K) ) / 1024 = ~3122 IOPS, more than the rated 2200 IOPS. |

How does the SSD feel? You mean in my hands? Or in the computer? It's very light in weight and it's quite small. It reminds me of a 3 1/2" floppy disk but it's not 3 1/2". As far as being inside the computer it's dead silent. I don't even think about it. It just does what it's supposed to do. All my programs load about as fast as a Athlon 4200+ could hope to load which isn't very fast. I have only 2GB of ram at the moment. I'm getting ready to install a 6000+ cpu and 4GB of RAM within the next couple weeks which should boost my performance a little. This is my back up computer and I'm actually getting ready to give it away to my step mom. My 27" iMac monster is coming in Feb. I can't wait. Maybe I'll do your Crystalmark on that one. It's going to have 3TB fusion drive. Really excited to see how it performs. I think if this drive holds up over time it will prove to be a better value than the Samsung's. I don't think the average person would be able to tell much difference between this drive and an 840 in day to day tasks. Maybe a little difference, but would it be worth $60 more? I could pay $60 more for a faster cpu but would it be worth it? I'm happy with fast, I don't need fastest. Last edited by stevenq; 01-27-2013 at 10:50 PM.. |
