Heres my new Crucial M4. Didn't get as much out of it as I'd hoped but a marked improvement over HDD WD500 @7200 it replaced. Using its twin as second internal/data drive and it seems to be working very nicely.

If you can connect the SSD to an Intel SATA port you will see some improvement Scott.

Very nice Mike. They had the 128GB model of the 840 on sale for under $80 - at Newegg.

Yes I saw that.
Mine was already ordered and on the way when that sale appeared.
C'est la vie!

You might be able to get a gift card for the difference. It might not be like an 100% oF the difference, but maybe a percentage of the difference..

My 512GB 840 Pro's price dropped $100 and I got a $50 gift card. It is better than nothing though.

It is worth a try.

Just got my 2 Samsung SSD 840 Pro series in the mail.... Now i just have to wait on my laptop. Maybe i will image my home PC and install them on there while i wait. Oh man I'm excited. I will post speeds when its up an running.

 

[Britton30]

Parman, the best practice for SSD is to do a full clean install so you get the format and alignment correct. Images don't work very well, I have experience trying, lol.

 

[Parman]

You're correct i remember about having to actually manually change the alignment if you're doing an image. I will probably just wait till i get my laptop.

Thanks for the reminder, my excitement let me completely space.

 

[whs]

Imaging works very well - if you do it right. Macrium can even do the alignment for you.

Partition alignment and the Macrium Reflect cloning and restore function

To preserve the source partition alignment either...

1. Select the source partition check box(es) and click the 'Copy selected partitions' link.
2. Drag and drop the source partition(s) to free space on the target disk

 

[Parman]

Thanks WHS, I figured the macrium guru would have a solutions. I will see how the weekend goes if my kids take a nice long nap tomorrow i might try to get it done.
