Nice scores, nice SSD
Those acquisition times are great.
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.
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.
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.
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...
- Select the source partition check box(es) and click the 'Copy selected partitions' link.
- Drag and drop the source partition(s) to free space on the target disk
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.
Hi LittleJay
