Bought the Samsung 830 Series SSD MZ-7PC256 134

its a good drive imo,you can clone your agility to the new ssd if you use macrium reflect or paragon migrate,save you reinstalling everything

I own both the Samsung 830 and the M4.

I have noticed the M4 can occasionally slow down, it's especially true if the M4 is storing compressed data. On the M4 I compressed 8GB of outlook files using NTFS compression and it caused occasional mouse stalling when outlook was reading the files.

The 830 however is more fluid in operation and seams to handle multiple IO better then the M4. The 830 does not appear effected by NTFS compression, certainly nothing I have noticed compared to the M4. The M4 may have better peak performance, but real world my view the 830 is better.

No slowdown or issues with my Vertex 4

Just bought a Sammy 840 Pro over the vertex 4 myself. It outperfroms it on almost all regular benchmarked tests.

Drive arrived today.

Installed in pc, cloned old Agility drive, swapped a few sata cables about, changed a couple of bios settings & took the opportunity to get the vac out to give the base unit a good clean.

All working perfect, took me about 40 minutes to get the whole thing done.

Just need to set-up & install my new NAS Box (Never owned or even heard of them till a few weeks ago), then can pull the 1TB HDD altogether & just use the SSD's with the NAS attached externally.

Realllllly, specs say otherwise. What size did you get? Try these:-

Crystal Disk Mark

AS SSD

Just run the Samsung built in benchmark & here are the results;
Seq.Read = 520
Seq.Write = 383
Ran.Read = 74811
Ran.Write = 37407

Run Crystal Disk Mark and AS SSD

I have run AS SSD & uploaded a screenshot online.
How can I show the picture within a message here like #33

Click the picture logo in the editor, looks like a mountain against a yellowish sky with a small square sun.

Sorry, not got it yet. I checked out a few reviews and the 256 840 Pro came out on top on nearly every test with the Vertex 4 fairly close 2nd.
I use vertex 3's in my rigs and love them, but having checked out the reviews decided to try the Sammy this time.
I'll get some test up sometime soon. Would be interesting to compare. You never know if some of these review sites are biased.

Incidentally what's the preferred software for imaging onto a different sized SSD?
I've always used Acronis True Image and had success about 3 out of 5 times with it.
This time though, i'm imaging to a bigger SSD, not smaller.

I used Acronis True Image it worked fine for me
