Kingston SSD replacement

rhysduck · 19 Sep 2011 at 23:30

Evening,
Updating the old girl to a slightly faster model.
CPU and board are sorted (i5 2500k 3.3ghz & Gigabyte Z68XP).
I'm wanting to upgrade my Kingston SSDNow+ to something faster, it's served me well but wanting something faster and more capacity. My 60gb SSD is nearly full.

Anything better than the Corsair Force Series 3? Seems cracking.

You're going to need to offer a bit more information than that dude.

He's referring to the Crucial M4

So how does the M4 perform? Not seen anything about it.

Edit: never mind, found a thread.

i just bought one today and did a fresh w7 install, im getting 488mb reads and 121mb writes, really really happy with it

rhysduck · 20 Sep 2011 at 23:36

Your write speeds seem very low?

gwobbles · 21 Sep 2011 at 00:48

really? i checked on another thread and its pretty similar, plus i only ran one benchmark and one test

edit - that was on as ssd, crystal disk shows 519.4 read 198.8 writes

The write speeds seem low to me, but don't take my word for it as they're probably fine.

It's all about the READ speeds afterall.

ii think it seems fine tbh, its the read taht counts like you said
