Andreas Schmidt · Feb 7, 2014

Hello im really confused i dont know what to buy samsung 840 pro or the new ocz vertex 460 120gb which is better

Thanks

I would go with the Samsung based on their reliability record and speed!

OCZ went bankrupt recently.

OCZ storage solution is now a part of the Toshiba group so totally safe to purchase drives from them regarding warranty and so on!

I have the 128 GB Samsung Pro and I love it. Highly recommended!

I also have 2 OCZ SSDs that are unusable in my system because their Sandforce controller is incompatible with the Intel Z87 chipset. I'm never buying anything OCZ again!

how about Samsung 840 Pro 128 gb or samsung evo 840 250gb

thanks

Andreas Schmidt :

I would get the 250 GB 840 Evo. Almost as fast and a lot more storage space.

They no longer use the sandforce controller. They use a proprietary controller developed in house called barefoot, i think thats it. Anyway, its proven to be a good controller and is probably why Toshiba was quick to grab up OCZ. The Vertex 460 already has the toshiba memory in it. I had a pair of vertex 450s and they were very fast and quite reliable.

Heres a review of the 460 its apparently the first result of the toshiba takeover. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6027/ocz-vertex-460-240gb-ssd-review/index.html

Y0GI :

If its an older Sandforce controller then these may not "like" the new Intel Z87 chipsets. The 1st gen of any SSD controller had compatibility issues and imo i thnk the SSD makers didint work collaboratively on this to provide the best results for the end user. However, I haven't heard any such issues from the recent second gen SF-2281 sandforce controllers
Though backward compatibility support is great i feel sometimes while upgrading to the newer hardware prolly saving up a bit more and going for the latest would make sense as it will help take advantage of the newer technology.

Andreas Schmidt · Feb 24, 2014

Rolli but i have amd motherboard magician software driver not support on amd ? Is there problem thanks

rolli59 · Feb 24, 2014

You do not need the software, all you need is install it and use it like any other HDD. Make sure your SATA controller is set to ACHI for max performance.

Andreas Schmidt · Feb 24, 2014

rolli59 :

Thanks you for help, thanks all.. yeah i have read for achi and twek for windows 7 about ssd...... i will buy evo 250 gb. and i hope ill be fast.

Regards

Its fast.
Sequential read and write speeds are the last spec you want to look for in a boot drive.
4k random read is the spec to check.

Andreas Schmidt · Feb 25, 2014

popatim :

Thanks i check it not much diference popatim the evo is not bad

Andreas Schmidt · Mar 11, 2014

rolli59 :

Andreas Schmidt · Mar 12, 2014

rolli59 :

The difference is in the measurement of one GB. Drive makers advertise one GB = 1,000MB. Windows uses one GB = 1,024 MB. Your formatted capacity should be 232.5 GB.

Y0GI :

I know Y0GI like i said from 232GB after install windows 32GB was used ?

Y0GI · Mar 12, 2014

I know Y0GI like i said from 232GB after install windows 32GB was used ?

So you're saying that after Windows installation you have 200.5 GB? Sounds like a typical Windows installation with the paging file and Hibernation enabled.
