^ cool all my SSD is Corsair or Intel to this date so it hard to switch

mickey17 · Postby **mickey17** » June 25th, 2012, 3:23 pm

^ i know for sure the intel good but crusial is almost the same just cheaper and slower writes i think. But not by much.

Yea well I might take a go at it

Saw a vid a while ago with a drop test on an intel ssd.

The guy dropped the ssd onto the ground of a basketball court from a height and tested it after in a laptop, no damage.

I wonder if crucial could do that? :lol:

Yeah it have to be him.

His vids on youtube very informative and entertaining as well.

I might buy a 128gb ssd each for my three systems year end but i got so accustomed to the boot/loading times of 7200rpm hdds so i'm not in a hurry to do that upgrade.

Yall realise the differences between the top SSDs are imperceptible, right? You wouldn't know the difference between the best Samsung, Intel or Crucial if you used them for actual applications.

None of them realized that..
I would of kept my OCZ Agility 2 if it was more than 60GB of space. Only reason i got the crucial was for the 128GB reason and the fact i got it for 90US on sale.

I think the difference in speed between the very fastest and the least, among the top brands at least, is something like 5%.

The only real differentiating factor is long-term stability and other features.

firstchoicett · Postby **firstchoicett** » June 26th, 2012, 8:58 am

I have one of the first series of Intel SSD that goes back till 2009 them clocking 3 years and some months going strong laptop on 24/7 . Intel is epic the sane is said for the 3960 CPU Blazing Fast chip .

Same could be said for processors. :lol:

Was reading an article on a review site recently showing a comparison amongst dual straight up to 6 core processors for gaming/general apps.

Yeah. There's no way my dual-core E6750 could perform imperceptibly similar to a i5 or a i7 system with the same GPU on the same game with the same settings. Microsoft Word or Chrome, definitely. Crysis or even a Black Ops at 1920? No.

I have an OCZ Agility 3 thats dead due to the firmware, and when I try to update it, the app to update it says it cant download the firmware

what to do?

OCZ are the worst for reliability. Crusial, Intel, Samsung are best for reliability. Prices a lot higher though. crusial prices probably the best right now.

Flash the firmware on to it dont use the ultility. Download directly from the site and they will give you a guide how to do it. That happened to my vertex 1.

great price for a great game, unfortunately I'm one of those who bought this game back in 2009 when it first came out, then the dlc separate and then the expansion....so this is a steal for someone who's never played it

I know eh, this is why i never buy bioware games upfront they always release dlc and then they release a complete edition a year after.
I was also hoping for a complete edition of batman arkham city, but it looks like that not happening either, seems rocksteady not like bioware.
