UPDATE 29/11/2011 ** SSD Testing Line Up - Vertex 3, Force 3, M4 and HyperX 120/128GB Tested! + ADAT

Is there some guide or tweaks I should do when installing my M4.

I'll be doing a clean Windows 7 format. I remember when Installing my Vertex 2E there was a few guides on the OCZ forum which aided installing with fewer issues.

FTR

I have a GB X58A-UD3R Mobo.

Would also like to see a similar comparison with the 60/64gb versions of these drives. Thinking of making the investment sometime soon to SSD.
 
pictures of the drives dont do them justice at all, they are black brushed aluminium.

ruddy beautiful.

may have to pick one up for my ever expanding SSD collection :p
 
Forgive me as I’m getting back into Hardware before I purchase a new rig again after so many years not paying too much attention.

I thought these SSD were bullet proof with no moving parts so Data loss was never in question. I fancied pushing the boat out for my next PC on a good sized SSD for windows boot up etc and a few games and a 1 TB normal drive to cover me for future storage needs?

I thought these drives were expensive as they were expected to last, reliable and as were newish tech therefore at a premium.

With anything that stores data theres no such thing as bullet proof however with no moving parts they are horrifically quick compared to a HDD and at this price are fantastic value when compared to mechanical HDD due to the price hikes of late.

A year ago there really was a massive premium on these products but as with anything the price does come down.

An SSD is certainly worth a look at :)
 
i am very tempted to upgrade my ssd, but i dont know if there is any appreciable difference between my original ocz vertex to one of these new 500+MB/s drives

would there be any real-world improvement? everything is already instantaneous :p
 
need to change the prices in the first post :P really thought that the m4 was £135
add the octane too when its available
 
Why did thread have to be bumped?

I was thinking I could just get a 128 Gb M4 for £134 :(

Will you have the Adata benched before its pre order offer ends so I can make a more informed decision?

Cheers Considering my system is six years old anything new will be light years faster. On a single Core AMd 3400 i think it is on a Seagate drive.:eek:
 
UPDATE S510 Benchmarks added.

There was data on the drive which will bring the scores down a little but all in all its looking similar to the Force 3 120GB except for Crystal Disk Mark which is oddly a little slow :(
 
Nice read, I have the Corsair Force 3 SSD and even though it's not the best, for me it's lightning fast and boots windows super quick, I think any SSD is a major performance boost!
