SSD time

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Hi, i am looking to purchase my first ever SSD for my i7 920 pc. i have the asus p6t delux mobo so not sure if it has sata 3

Anyways i am looking for 120gb minimum for OS and a couple of apps and games and was wondering if this is any good?

I have one of them and it's totally fine for what I use it for, I have a few games on it and they load very quickly, shame I have no time for gaming any more :X

damm it the 3.5 adapter is useless. it cannot be mounted and used on my lian li pc a7010 case!

What about the OCZ 120GB Vertex 2 if you need it to be 3.5"

Or the OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB

i know in your OP you said your max budget was £180, but your mobo supports SATA3, so it would be ashame not to use SSD speeds to its max potential.

I would recommend this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120gb...-write-500mb-s

unfortunately it is £58 over your budget.

hope i helped

That's only 2.5" though, and if I understood correctly, the 3.5" adapter can't be used and therefore he needs a 3.5" SSD.

could always try not mounting the SSD, and just leaving it somewhere stable on a small flat bit somewhere in the case?

It used SATA revision 3 which supports 6 Gbit/s.

The ASUS P6T Deluxe only has SATA II ports.

Did you already buy one then? Which one did you go for?

yeah.

I would check trim is enabled as well.

can't remember exactly how atm.

Go to the Command prompt and type > fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
