As a comparison to HDD. This is my data drive score and it took nearly an hour to run.:shock:
Itza Seagate 500GB Constellation SATA III 7200RPM.

You guys need to clone your OS to a spinner and use the spinner for a day or two. You will be saying that SSD wasn't slow after all. I did that and couldn't believe that I used to only have a spinner, and LIKED IT! I think we get spoiled sometimes.

I put in a SSD on this weekend. It is remarkably fast. It boots in about 30 seconds and shuts down in about 5. My HDD took about two minutes to boot. The programs just popup after the click. It is definately worth the price which are lower everyday. I did a clean install rather than the Paragon transfer. It took a bit longer but was worth the trouble. I am anxious to do the WEI and some of the benchmarks here.

They are very nice

Best performance upgrade you can do.

Clean install is best for a new SSD, or I think so.

Windows WEI, is messed up. I have a 6 Gig SATA III, installed yet WEI tells me that the SSD is only worth 5.9. Everything else is very good / excellent. I don't know what to make of WEI, I know that you shouldn't rely on it, but common atleast 6.8.

WEI reads the C: drive. Is the SSD the C: drive and connected to either the 0 or 1 SATA III header?

Resetting worked I'm getting 7.5 as my base score, due to the SSD.

Ok just for fun and cos I am crazy, here is what you get if you mix a Sata 3 64gb M4 and a sata 2 Corsair F60 in raid 0:huh:

I will be ordering a 128gb M4 soon for my OS and will use the 64gb purely for Origin games. The F60 will go back into my lounge PC.

 

[Golden]

Very nice!

 

[paulpicks21]

Very nice!

Its not great Golden, the single M4 scores higher on it's own. But having the 2 drives in raid gave me more space for everything on the 1 drive so to speak.

It's Ok but I am not happy with it. A single 128gb M4 will score much better and give me a little more space than I have right now. Using my 64gb M4 for Origin games will free up 35gb straight away from the main OS drive, so roll on the 128!

Samsung 830 for me when I hit the UK shores in December.......

The M4 and the 830 are totally the same price right now here, I have thought about the 830, there is no doubt its a great drive, but for me I have an M4, love it and I am happy to stick with what I know is good. A friend got a 830 and has had M4's before and still prefers the M4 over the 830 so I have to take that into account.

I have a request for you guys. Someone buy a 128gb/256gb Plextor M3 Pro, install windows and drivers and test it. Seriously, if anybody has one of these, or is planning on getting one, post some results and your thoughts about it. The M3 PRO is suppose to be a beast.

After you get yours installed give us a report.

I am really tossing around the idea of picking one up!
