    Samsung 840 Series TLC 250GB SSD Review @ [H]

    OK, took the plunge, setup 840 SSD to my MB SATA2 ports with a fresh copy of Windows 7, installed all Windows Updates. Installed Samsung Magician - updated Firmware, ran performance optimisation and OS optimisation, BIOS is set to ACHI. The results seem poor, even for SATA 2. Windows 7...

    Samsung 840 Series TLC 250GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Not sure if its still applicable, I have a H55 Motherboard and looks like theres a known issue with SSD ? The max read/write is around 200MB/s and 155MB/s http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2106551 With my H55 Motherboard and SATA2 ports, can I reasonably only expect those type...

    Samsung 840 Series TLC 250GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Thanks for the info, so the 'poor' write speeds of the 840 (non-pro) will do not exceed the limitations of the SATA2 ? Tbh if the write speeds performance increase between the 840 and 840 Pro is ~ 10% I might just stick with the 840 - The 840 250GB only cost me £109

    Samsung 840 Series TLC 250GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Sorry to come back this, but would I be better off returning my 840 (non-pro) for a SSD with faster write speeds or should I just keep the 840 ?

    Samsung 840 Series TLC 250GB SSD Review @ [H]

    I just purchased the 840 256 GB from Amazon, primarily so that my Windows & apps run faster. It will be used in my desktop as a Windows 7 and apps drive and to host a few Linux VMs. All my other data is held separately on a couple of 1.5Tb Samsung HDD. My usage is just general Windows usage...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    The power requirements of the Intel D945GSEJT are truely amazing, 14 watts! Although low energy usage is a priorty, I need a CPU powerfull enough for my needs. I need a system with enough power to stream/transcode SD content via ps3mediaserver, plus some extra headroom. This is why I am...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    Thats perfect ! So I can use my slimline with the included adaptor and 4 pin floppy connector, leaving 2 SATA connectors for the 2 HDD. Just one thing, if I decide to add a third (or even fourth) HDD at a later date, are there enough SATA and Power connectors, or can I get some...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    Thanks for the feedback. The 4 Drive config looks amazing. For my needs I think 2 or max 3 HDD is enough, which is good as it means its not so much of a tight squeeze. I haven't decided on the other parts, but because the system will be an always on NAS/file server, low energy is a...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    Thanks for the reply. Its reassuring to know that there is the possibility of extra 3.5HDD, what isn't reassuring are my handyman skills. I was hoping that it was possible without modification, or with very little to add a second 3.5 HDD ? Drilling out rivets might be ok, but i wouldn't...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    I am looking to build a low energy, always on, NAS/streaming box (maybe HTPC in the future) and have been looking around for a small case. The Silverstone SG05 seems good, apart from the fact that it only supports 1 x 3.5" HDD and 1x 2.5 HDD. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can...
