My USB cable definitely works I upgraded the firmware with it but indeed, the USB hub is not functional...

I have a set of Gskill Ripjaw-X 1333 7-7-7 if you are interested. How much are you offering for it?

PM sent.

+1 completely agree with CPTurd

The M4 uses 25nm NAND, The Intel 510 34nm just like the C300... 34nm has a longer lifetime than 25nm.

Computurd, do you have a review of the Adaptec yet?

The Kingston is OOS @ Amazon so you will not your MIR on time. I bought one from Buy.com with the same rebate and 5% discover card reward. Performance wise the Solid 3 is better but very unreliable... The Kingston on the other hand is rock solid.

Intel > Toshiba=Micron > Samsung Everything else is mehhh. I would avoid. Kingston sells a lot of different OEMs under their brand: They sold Intel X25-M and JMicron on Toshiba drives so you need to look closely.

Actually not for these drives. Because the C300 have GC. TRIM does not matter and you will get double the Sequential read speed by going RAID0 as well as other performance advantages with no risk of degradation. 2x64GB is definitely the better choice.

A couple of suggestions: 1) Try to use CCcleaner to wipe out all your temp and update install files. It is free. You can google it. 2) Pagefile: Look into your Drive properties and see if you have your pagefile setup manually. Right click on My computer on the start menu. Choose...

The 920 is definitely not a silent solution by any stretch of the imagination but with the same fans (GT AP29 ok very loud) push and a silent fan (Thermalright TY140) running in extreme mode I found it to beat any air cooler by quite a some margin (more of the order of 7-8C under load Vs...

He is talking about changing the LCD panel...

The M4 is not the newest bleeding edge drive. That would be the Sandforce 2 drives. The M4 is based on a proven controller (the Marvell) used by Intel on the 510 and the Crucial C300. The M4 is just the 25nm version albeit shorter lifetime than the C300 but he did not have it as a pick in there...

Acronis would do it in less than 30min. Robocopy takes a long time because it does not image the partition sector by sector but file by file. The time also depends greatly on what drive you use. My backup drive is a lowly laptop drive. :)

Very strange indeed. Windows sees it just fine. I can even boot from the backup but the Gparted says the drive has no allocation.

Robocopy worked so it was definitely Acronis True Image goofing up. Took 3hrs to image the 130GB partition. I tried ntfsclone (on Gparted) too but for some reason it could not detect my backup partition. That's how I would usually proceed actually but not this time. Scared the hell out of me...

8 drive benches are coming. :) Cpt, have you had experience mixing different length of SAS cable on the same array. I seem the be having the hardest time imaging my OS back onto the 8 drive array. I keep of experiencing what I believe is data corruption but I am suspecting either my overclock or...

Any of them will work. I am running an Intel X25M G2 myself.

No the 470 would not be any faster. Given the price of the M4, it is definitely the better choice.

It will most likely work but you will have to tweak the sub-timings manually on your motherboard to meet the looser of the two.

M4 > Samsung > Torqx=Vertex 2=Adata

Specs are provided at different queue depth by different manufacturers. Read the reviews.

Oh and by the way just so you know, I currently run a Vertex 2 in my macbook pro, 4 C300 (soon to be 8) as my boot drive on my desktop, a vertex (turbo) as my temp file drive and 2 Kingston(Toshiba) in raid as my media storage, a Samsung in my wifes laptop, an X25-M G2 in my work computer... As...

The SSD market at this stage seem to be repeating itself constantly: The big companies come up with good reliable drives. (Intel/Micron/Toshiba/Samsung) The smaller ones (Jmicron, Indilinx, OCZ, Sandforce) try to take a share of the market by going after the enthusiasts promising best...

Intel 510, Crucial M4, Crucial C300 are all based on the same Marvell controller. The 320 is a SATA 2 drive. The 510 is Write Up to 210 MB/s (SATA 6Gb/s) Read Up to 450 MB/s (SATA 6Gb/s) Random 4 KB Reads: Up to 20,000 IOPS; Writes: Up to 8,000 IOPS Need to be careful with these numbers...

You might want to revise your selection. You basically have 3 identical drives with various firmwares on your list and they all are having problems. Like John4200 says. I would go with none of these. Intel or Micron/Crucial are the only high speed drives at the moment.
