OCZ 60 GB SolidState Drive
- Pros: This is one AWESOME drive, but !!! WARNING !!! you must go to OCZ support forums and search out Reg Fixes to do before you install this drive, or any other SSD for that matter. If you do not do the fixes OCZ says you will permanently damage the drive, the basic fixes consist of memory management ie: disable de frag, write behind cache, delete buffer on shutdown and stuff like that. It is a really easy reghack to do, but you must do it. and this drive screams. I installed it as a system drive on my Dell PowerEdge 1900 Server, boot time was cut in half, drive access was cut in half, USB printer access was 'Right Now' like now no waiting where it used to lag 5 or 6 seconds before.
- Cons: Price, but willing to pay to get the performance improvements
beware of these drives however, their are lots of mfg's and models, i found 80% to be the less expensive and very low performance.
- Other Thoughts: DO YOUR HOMEWORK EXTENSIVELY BEFORE BUYING
Research is most important of all
- Pros: Speeds kick b*tt, even on stand alone with OS installed. Probably compares to a normal HDD. Cant wait to get another and raid it up for even faster speeds!
- Cons: Still new tech and tweaking is required.
- Other Thoughts: I paired this up with a Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR, and 4 gigs of Patriot Cas7 ddr3. Had problems untill I Updated the Bios. Then used the tweak tool listed on OCZ forums and BAMO! the nightmare was over.Also i DL'd the chipset drivers seprately, the user disc has alot of garbage on it you really dont need. And remember always manually adjust your memory voltage approprately, undervoltage = slow ram. Takes longer to POST than it does to load vista. If your thinking of going SSD, its worth it. do a little prep though. 1)Have chipset drivers,raid drivers predownloaded, and the ssd tweak utlility from ocz forums ready before installing OS. 2)Setup voltage and speeds in bios correctly. 3) Install OS and IMMEDIATELY run the tweak utility 4)Install chipset drivers 5) update bios if needed 6) ENJOY!
Nice
- Pros: Not too bad. First SSD. Quiet, lol. Good drive for the $ compared to other options.
USB and SATA ports are cool.
- Cons: XP is running ok for me without the tweaking sometimes needed. I did try steadystate and other mods to the os, but reverted. I really didn't like the steadystate software for my use, but its good stuff for other needs.
VISTA is apparently the OS of choice for SSD.
I might currently like my striped pair of barracudas better tho, unless I picked a faster SSD.
- Other Thoughts: It took me a short while to get used to the drive being so quiet. Being as it has no moving parts at all, it makes no noise at all. It was strange not to hear the usual crunching from the actuators seeking. :) at least there is the hdd led.
