Ssd size

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

Looks like lots of I've choices, is there any issue running both ssd, and older desktop hard drive in concert. Or size, any reaon not t o get larger ssd, other than cost?
I'm new to ssd technology
Any helpful links?

AsRock · Sep 18, 2013

I my self had no issue's with running both and heard nothing of people having them either.

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

Ok
Silly add o, if I add an ssd do I have to reinstall all my stuff on old hard drive? Or can I add it as a D drive ?

If you want it as your C drive you will have to reinstall or copy the information to it. Some of the SSD drives come with software to do that. Or you can set it up as a D drive or E, F so on.

Get a Samsug 840 they come with really easy instructions. Any size is fine just no smaller than 120Gb

I'm looking at some amazing prices on refers at NE... So cost is issue
I'm thinking of running win 7 as boot disk and adding some other often used programs.
Does sata 2 or 3 change performance?

Yes, 2 or 3 = speed difference. Go with sata3 and you'll be happy

Absolutely reinstall windows on you ssd, along with any programs you'd like.

I cannot get my head around a speed ver 1 gig per second write
This looks good

Decent choice.

Jetster · Sep 18, 2013

I just bought a Samsung 840 120Gb SSd from NE for $70. It was a shell shocker. Tigerdirect had the 250Gb for $140. SSD prices are dropping just look around. Its going into a laptop

Its listed as $180 right now but watch it will go back on sale in a couple of days. NE does that all the time

Or this
Larger
OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE240G 2.5" 240GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
125$

MadMan007 · Sep 18, 2013

The 840 is being EOL sale-priced because of the 840EVO, $70 is the lowest I've seen for a 120GB 840 though so nice deal.

Its a SATA II if it for your board dont do it

Just keep looking and be patient. You will get rewarded

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

Ok
Sata 3
256 g
Cheap
Any reason to nt get refurb?

Jetster · Sep 18, 2013

Keep an eye on this. I bet the price will drop in the next couple of days. TD just had it on sale for $140 but not now

SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA III...

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB
99$
Again will be looking

rtwjunkie · Sep 18, 2013

The only other thing to be aware of, is the smaller SSD's normally have a slower write speed than larger ones. But everything is relative, so not a big deal. Just something it's useful to keep in mind.

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

Smaller?
You mean size of the amount? Not physical? I read a bunch after starting thread
It looks like the Samsung 180 pro and ocz vector are fastest in head to head, but honestly ths differences will make so little real time... Funny on price I added the drive at 99 to cart and NE changed the price to 159 lol
One of these will go on sale soon
Thanks
Just saw 256 Samsung at sale 170 FYI
There is "evo pro bw" in Samsung land, any idea about how much quality/ speed changes between them?
Ok
Just read about Samsung
Yes google s my friend!
Looks like all 840 line runs fast, biggest difference seems ocz has 5 year warranty
Thanks again

Ok,
One source recommends ssd and a hybrid combination. Are there any requirements for using multiple ssd or ssd with hybrid?

Fourstaff · Sep 18, 2013

Yes, a 120Gb drive will always be slower than the 240Gb in the same lineup (eg: Samsung 840 120Gb will always be slower than Samsuing 840 240Gb harddrive).

AsRock · Sep 18, 2013

As seen has you have a WD HDD use their version of acronis and copy it too the SSD just remember to check things like auto de-frag and trim is working..

Done it for years now with 0 issues.

freeboy · Sep 18, 2013

Thanks, I have two 7200 rpm ? Western, one installed.
When you say defrag and trim, do u mean on the new drive?
I'm really not clear on trim

Jetster · Sep 18, 2013

Like I said if you get a A samsung SSD its easy. The software sets everything up for you.

freeboy · Sep 19, 2013

I'd hate to lose speed, I could always find new homes for fast hdd

thebluebumblebee · Sep 19, 2013

no, and no. HDD's aren't even close to SATA II speed.
Have you looked at the link that I posted?

freeboy · Sep 19, 2013

Ok
I know that !
I wonder what you thought I was asking?
Lets try magazine
Can I run ssd then hybrid the hdd mixing the different sata ports used on my mobo?
If I ever run video on a web sight ill need a hdd or hybrid.
