good ssd

[alvez]

Im planing to buy this ssd:

Ive found this one wich seems that is good for gaming wich is what i will use it for, i will run windows and 1 or 2 games max on it

the specs of it:

http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/hyperx#sh103s3

one of the specs i really like is:

3K loads games and applications faster, increases frames per second (FPS) for an improved gaming experience and allows for quick transfers and edits of large media files.

i have a doubt since i dont know much about SSD disks:

This solid-state drive combines premium 3000 program-erase cycle NAND with the second-generation SandForce® controller.



any SSD sugestions are apreciated!


I know how to plug it in on my computer but will i need to install something after pluguin it in ?

You'll need to reinstall windows and your software obviously, but beyond that, no, nothing special needs to be installed to make it work!

List your specs. Do you want to clone or fresh install?

ill probably get this stuff:

i4690k + msi z97 gaming 3 + SSD

8GB RAM 1333MHZ DDR3

my psu is a 650w chieftec and the other

ill just install the windows ill not clone, ill use the other disk to storage.

Just keep in mind that SSDs make you computer much more responsive and improve load times but rarely if ever increase FPS.

anyways what would be your suggestion ?

Buy an SSD. Just don't expect more FPS.

No SSDs particularly boost gaming performance more than others. They improve loading times and that's about it, not to mention dealing with Virtual memory a little better than a HDD. Any quality SSD will improve things over your aged 128Gb HDD. A crucial MX100, or a Samsung EVO would be the best bet for value.

wich of them is more reliable ?

I believe the samsung has a longer warranty, but you can get double the capacity of the samsung for the same price with the MX100

Crucial MX100 would probably be the best bang for the buck for you. For your OS and a few games a 120 GB or 128 GB is more than enough. If you decide to get into a lot more games a 1 TB or 2 TB HDD can be added for pretty cheap in the future.
If you do decide on the Samsung 840 EVO then be aware of a bug that slows the read performance of old blocks of data.

There is supposed to be a fix for this in about a week

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8570/...o-read-performance-bug-coming-on-october-15th

How successful it will be I don't know. I'm hoping for the best as this is the SSD I bought before I knew of the bug.

i dont bother buying a less space SSD for 100 € but it has to be a good choice like, the m100 lots of people recomends it but comparing with others the reading is worst like by 200mb

Don't be swayed by sequential read/write values. Every single SSD claims 550 read/write values bar the MX100, which has 550 read and 200 write or whatever it is. Sequential means very little, random read and write and IOPS count for far more. If SSD's were based on sequential read/write alone, every SSD would get 9/10.

so imagine this comparing this MX100 with a SAMSUNG 850 PRO 120 gb wich one wins ?

Check out some benchmarks....

Really, comparing SSD's for which is the fastest in this statistic or that stat is pointless. It's like comparing a whole racetrack full of Formula One cars to each other. They are ALL faster than street cars (or in this case HDD's), so any of them, barring poor reliability ratings, will be a HUGE increase in performance.

EDIT: Best advice is to get the best deal, or buy from a brand name you are comfortable with. I've got an over 3 year old Crucial M4 that is still fantastic. So, I've just stayed with Crucial. Turns out I've gotten my M500's at excellent sale times too, so it hasn't hurt.
