Anything Better Than Intel Ssd Drive ?
I've heard that the ocz vetex 2 is supposed to be faster in both read and writes then the intel ssd, is this true and are they out yet? Or is intel still the fastest for both read and writes.

Intel G2 Ssd Drives
I always thought the intel g2 drives were the fastest. But after looking at the specs it writes only up to 70mb? That's pretty crappy compared to ocz where its 150mb. Why do people say the intel drives are the fastest? The reads on the ocz by the specs anyway show that they are faster at both read and write.

Intel X25-m Ssd Drive May Be Bad
I think my intel ssd drive. Model x25-m 160gb
Using windows vista sp2 64bit
This is what happened. I was seeing massive disk acctivity. It was stuttering my system like crazy. I knew intel drives don't have the stutter problem. Was running world of warcaft and the screen kept freezing every few seconds. I looked at the monitor for disk and saw huge disk activity. Then i went to reboot. Even the boot up was taking forever. The drive was just slow as ***. So i figure maybe it's sp2. So i use acronis drive image rescue disk. I started to restore my
Ssd backup boot image (that has sp1 instead on it). But it hit a sector error. So this pretty
Much tells me the drive is bad. So i reboot and now the bios is tripping over the drive. Its detection of drives is hanging. So i had to disconnect the drive. Then the bios came up fine. I'm now running off my older
Platter drive. I just got this drive last friday and it was working perfect. And was using around 60gb of space. Is there anyway to check the drive for errors or to see if its bad?
Forgot to mention i had to flash this drive to the latest firmware. Since the packing date was feb.

Rampage Ii Extreme Not Detecting Intel Ssd
I just bought a intel ssd x25-m. I hooked it up to my system and it's not being recognized. The bios doesn't see it, but it seems like it's scanning on that certain sata port for a long time. I've tried different ports and cables. Any other suggestions?

Hardware Raid Recommendations For Running 3 Intel X25e Ssd
I am getting 3 intel x25e ssd's and am planning on running them in raid0. There are so many raid adapters out there and i'm not sure whether to go with 3ware, adaptec, etc. Also sas cards will work with sata drives, right? Cause in that case i would probably prefer to buy an sas card to help me in the long run if i keep this card for a long time. I'm looking for something thats at least pci-e 4x. But when it comes to intel ssd's, should i go w/ 8x? Or are most server level cards at 8x already? Do areca cards work well with intel ssd's? Are there any known compatibility issues with raid cards and ssd's?
Why 3? 4 will be coming soon. This is for an all in one gaming/office rig. Serious replies only.

Mouse Opens Program's Properties Instead Of The Program
I've had my computer for about 9 months with no real issues. Yesterday the keys on the keyboard as well as the mouse got messed up. This issue is very hard to explain. When i click using the mouse i get an entirely different option, when i try to open a program it opens as properties instead of the program. I have to right click on the mouse to get the option "open" in order to open a program. When i select a photo to open, it selects several photos even though i only selected one. When i clicked the keys on the keyboard instead of just the letter k being typed i would get ki/. When i clicked a key instead of one letter typing, several would. If i typed the letter p, i would get pjk. Recently though no letters will type on the keyboard, although if i click the letter g then control panel would open, if i click another letter my browser will close. I cant seem to have any control over my computer. I had to type this on my other computer in my room. I've uninstalled the mouse as well as the keyboard drivers, i've unplugged the mouse and keyboard with the same issue. I've plugged in a spare mouse and keyboard with the same issue. Is there some way to reset the keyboard and mouse settings? Could this be a virus or spyware, my computer has always worked fine until yesterday.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 On Intel D945gpm
I just bought the intel core 2 duo e6600 2. 4ghz processor and the intel d945gpm mobo. The mobo states for the pentium d processor will it work with the core 2 duo? The socket is the same type so i thought it would work. Also i got this hyper cooler for my cpu. Do i just pop it in top of processor?

Intel Core 2 Duo Vs Intel I3 2.13ghz
Intel core 2 duo vs intel i3 2. 13ghz. Which one is better?
Answer:- if you're considering a core i3 processor @ 2. 13ghz to a core 2 duo one at 2. 26ghz, for multitasking, the core i3 will perform faster. However, it is likely that they would on par w/ each other for regular computing.

Intel core 2 duo su7300 (1. 3ghz) vs intel core i3-350 (2. 26ghz)? Can someone provide a comparison of 'intel core 2 duo su7300 (1. 3ghz ultra low voltage) processor, 3mb l2 cache and 800mhz front side bus' with 'intel core i3-350 (2. 26ghz) processor, 3mb l2 cache and 1066mhz front side bus'?
I like the laptop that has the processor intel core 2 duo mentioned earlier for a few reasons. Can i go for it? Would the processor speed / efficiency be good enough in comparison with the other one?

Notebook Gpu Intel Gma 950 Vs Intel Gma 900
I'm trying to decide on a laptop to buy, but i'm trying to get one that won't hold me back in performance. The two i've narrowed it down to are an acer and a vio that i've found. The acer is $530 and from what i can tell, is a fairly decent notebook. It's got a 1. 4ghz celeron, 512mb ddr2, and an 80gb hdd. The vio is a little more expensive at $799 and has got a 1. 74ghz pentium m, 512mb ddr2 as well, and a 80gb hdd too, as well as a little bigger screen. What i'm wander about is the gpu. The cheaper acer has an intel gma950 in it, and the vio has an intel gma900. Does the acer have a better gpu in it? If so, how much performance can i expect from either one of these gpus. I'm not an extreme gamer; probably the most gpu needy game i play is halo, which imo is more cpu heavy than gpu, but i probably wouldn't be doing too much gaming on it anyway as it would mainly be for school. But other than the price, that's really the only difference between the two. Sony has a good rep with there vios, and i know several people who have one and love it. But if the acer with the intel gma950 is better, i'll give up the vio name and save the $300. Here's the link for the acer:

And for the vio:

It's an open box on newegg, so i'm kinda worrying about dead pixels and such.

Ssd Vs Ram

Ssd Vs Ramdrive
Just curious, as i have no experience with either of these. I was wondering if i was to want to use something for a "scratch drive" of sorts ( editing video, joining dl'ed movie clips, etc) what would be the better route, and why? Maybe some pros and cons of each. Would only need to be around a few ( 4-7 ? ) Gigs probably.

Best Way To Use An Ssd Drive
I've been reading up on the drives, but wanted some advice on how best to use it. I'm looking at the 80gb intel x25-m g2 - primarily because it's in the 'affordable' category at @ $250-$270. I plan to also install a larger internal hdd & run both. 80 gb gives me some concern, as my wife and i are memory hogs (tons of pictures & video of the kid, video games, productivity apps, etc. ) I've got my current, aging 300 gb internal hdd set up in 3 partitions: one for the os & productivity (read ms office, etc. ) Apps, one for video games, and one for my wife's photos, downloads (drivers, mod tools) etc. We've also got an external drive for back up & storing larger video files. The problem is that the 300gb hdd is so fully loaded, i have to delete programs to add content, and things are bogging down. Also, the external hdd is so slow, i can't use it to keep any programs on, because the load times are glacial. So the question: do you keep the sdd limited to only the os & key apps - or go ahead and load it up with your favorite programs? Do you partition an sdd?
What are your best recommendations for using an 80gb sdd?

Ssd Drive Adaptor
I just got in 2 ssd's and for now i am just going to let them lay down in my drive bay but i would like to mount them pretty soon. So i am having problems looking for some adapters to put in a 3. 5" drive bay for ssd's on newegg? Do y'all know any? Mounting in 5. 25" bay adapter will be great also!

Non Ssd Mechanical Drive
Looking to upgrade my main drive wd6400aaks which will become a new storage drive. Ssd is not really in my price range for storage amounts. I was looking at the velociraptor but people are saying they aren't worth it with the newest drives that are out.

Recommendations On A Ssd Drive
I have been thinking about making the ssd plunge but i'm not sure which one to get. I prefer to have a smaller drive which will contain the os and applications, but everything else (games, music, movies, etc. ) Will go on another larger/mechanical drive. So what would you guys recommend for something in 75 to 150 gb range?

Ssd And Standard Drives
So i'll be building a new computer in the next week or so and i have most of the parts ordered. I have been using a western digital caviar green wd10eads 1tb 32mb as an external drive hooked up to my laptop and my plan was to use it as my boot drive in the new build. However seeing as the rest of my system is reasonably high end (at least by my standards some of you guys are nuts) i thought it may be slightly on the slow side to run windows. I don't have a ton more money to spend as the rest of the parts have cleaned me out so my options are:
A) pick up another wd10eads 1tb and run them in raid 0
Or
B) buy a ssd such as the ocz vertex series 30gb
I've never owned a ssd so please forgive my noobness. I did search around but was unable to find the answers to a few specific questions i have regarding my situation. 30gigs wont cover my needs for os, programs, and games but it's all i can afford in a ssd right now. Between windows 7 and a 10 gig world of warcraft install i don't think i'd even have room left over for the cs4 suite let alone the laundry list of other games i want to install. So would i be better off with my os on the ssd and programs, games, and media on the wd 1tb or everything on 2 of the wb 1tb in raid 0?
Heres my setup so far:
I7 920 /w corsair h20
Evga x58 sli le
Xfx 5870
G. Skill 6gb ddr3 triple channel

Ssd Drive Advice
So i'm looking to upgrade this 64gb core ssd drive to a vertex or falcon drive. I have a few questions regarding what specific combination to go with. Here are my options so far. 2x vertex 60gb raid 0 ~$380
1x falcon 128gb ~$300
$300 is really about the limit of my budget for this so option 1 is really pushing it. I'm leaning heavily towards option 2 then sell off the old drive and get a 2nd one in a couple of months
Second q - i also have a perc5i that i can either use or sell off. My onboard is an ich9r. I'm not sure how much of an increase i would get from the perc (if any). Anyone?
This is primarily for my o/s and programs. Data is all stored on the server. I already have a 1 gb ramdrive. I will be using either win7 or vista ultimate 64 versions.

How To Clean A Used Ssd Drive ?
I have a samsung ssd drive that i pulled out of my laptop. It still has the partitions and old os and data on it. I want to stick it in another computer and load windows 7 on it. Before i would usually just perform a low level format on a used drive but that was with spindle drives. Is there a proper way to remove the partitions and format an ssd drive? I have heard conflicting reports on this so i'm asking for help.

Installing A Ssd Into Notebook
I'm looking into installing a ssd into my notebook soon, and i'm a bit confused:
- Will i need to align my partition on w7? Is it ssd manufacturer dependent?
- I've seen reports that cloning my hd onto my ssd can be tricky, does anyone have a definitive guide/answers on how to do it properly?
- I have recovery discs for my os, is this probably the most painless way to get my os/drivers up and running?

Ssd For Desktop And Notebook
I'm thinking about moving to ssd for 2 use cases :
1) my toshiba notebook (m800), for which 60gb drive would be enough (windows 7, eclipse, openoffice and other basic stuff)
2) my main desktop, which would probably require 120gb drive (windows 7, eclipse, openoffice, steam with many games, other basic stuff), which would also have wd1001fals as data drive. Use case for both ssd drives include usage for java projects with hundreds or thousands small files. Now, i'm looking at my options, which are (prices are without vat):kintson x25-m 80gb - 243. 40
Ocz vertex 60gb - 218. 83
Ocz summit 60gb - i don't know the price yet
Ocz vertex 120gb - 361. 09
Ocz summit 120gb - 377
There are also lots of jmicron based ssd's (a-data xpg is the one with best price - 236. 26 for 128gb, but also have big write problems). No samsung or corsair ssd drives available here. Which one would you recommend and why ?

Ssd Adapter For 5.25 Or 3.5 Slot
Buying to intel g2s tonight and wouldn't mind a hot-swap cradle that has lights for each hdd, or mayb a simple bracket to hold both. I looked on newegg and only found flimsy looking cheap brands for hot-swap trays. So am i stuck w/ a bracket? If i want something of quality?

Use A Ssd To Expand Ram
Im limited on my motherboard to 4gb of ram. But yet im running windows server 2008 r2. I also have sql server running on it and i have to minimize how much ram it uses. Im still hurting for ram. Now there are some things i can do, but i believe the best idea, would be to use a internal 32gb solid state drive and place my pagefile on that drive? Or is there anyway i can get the solid state drive to be recognized as pure ram instead?
Anyone else have any recommendation? I heard readyboost was really just for windows kernal 6. 0 and below. Windows 7 and windows server 2008 r2 (windows 7 server) are optimized to use solid state drives. Another options would be to use some pci card which i could add ram too. But here that was the old way of doing things.

Ssd Freeze / Stutter Problem
I recently purchased an intel 40gb ssd and have been satisfied with how "speedy" it is. My problem is that every once in a while it will seem to freeze (my os) for about half a second. If i have google chrome open it will crash it too. :/
I am running windows 7 and am not too sure if anyone else has had this problem and if so, how did they remedy it?

Single Ssd Drive To Raid 0
I got an extra 60gb vertex ssd for christmas. I am wanting to put them in raid 0 configuration. The issue is i already have a 60gb vertex ssd as my main os drive. Is there an easy way to migrate from a single ssd to raid 0 configuration without having to do a complete reinstall?

Ssd Drive 120gb Under $400
Due to cost, i am looking at either 120gb or 128gb. I definitely can't have less than 100gb. I would prefer to keep the price under $400, but i am looking for the best performance i can get for the money. I have an asus laptop with the core 2 duo t9550 at 2. 66ghz, and 4gb of ram. When i get the new ssd, i will be installing windows 7. What would you suggest?
