I had recently determined to add a SIIG SATA-III PCI-Express card so I be able to upgrade my present boot drive to a superior SSD. My present drive is a 80GB Intel Gen 2 SSD. The contemporary OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The motherboard is an Intel DX58SO. The whole thing seemed to go efficiently during the installation of the card, other than one thing I have comprised become aware of is to facilitate it takes a superior 30-60 seconds for this innovative card to initialize during the boot procedure. At this moment, I do not have a hard drive attached to the card. Might that be a reason why it is taking up the additional time during booting.

I do have comprised a small number of concerns though. The controller on my Asus Maximus Formula II merely has the SATA 3Gb/s storage requirement. I desire to be familiar with if it would actually be worth my at the same time as to acquire a SATA 6.0Gb/s Controller Add-on Card. The money is not the thing, it's what it would acquire to create this the boot controller and how much they sluggish down the boot procedure. I have comprised seen a number of differences in the test data on the RealSSD C300 working with it at 6gb/s vs 3gb/s, other than nothing actually significant stood out to me. I plan on utilizing this drive for my Windows 7 (64 bit) boot drive. So creating an add-on controller boot as my most important (C:\) drive worries me in addition determine to a add-on controller do this.

Does partitioning have several terrible effects to an SSD to facilitate I am unaware of. In addition, the debated swap file! I have comprised a abundance of IDE hard drive space, so relocating it would not be a big deal, is this a superior idea. Through 8 gig of ram, I am wondering if I even necessitate a swap file at this position. I plan on doing lots of reading regarding the entire of these tips and tricks for these drives, and grabing a number of the apps available out there for them. Other than several assist up front is extremely much so welcomed. The tests I encompass seen on these drives have been enormous. I actually desire to acquire the entire I be able to for the $800.00 US it takes to acquire one of these, within reason.

I do not imagine you determine to observe much real world dissimilarity between the drive on sata II or sata III. A controller card determine to be a lot less hassle than you imagine though. The raid sustain or maintain built into your board is just with the intention of merely it's built in. It determine to delay your boot by as much as your onboard raid which is to be reasonable a small number of seconds longer than a normal boot. You determine to be capable to boot commencing from it other than you might necessitate to give Windows a driver for it throughout install the similar way you utilized to have to give Windows XP an AHCI driver by pressing F6 throughout its install.

I had read to facilitate the thread and have the same opinion by means of you; I am going to endeavor without utilizing the swap file at the entire. I saw the tips for prefetch and defrag etc. and plan on positioning them the entire into utilize. I had formerly disabled the search service in Windows 7, it is not something I necessitate. I am certain I determine to be back with query, and in the mean time am wide open for several additional advice. In addition, have comprised you heard of an application made by Easy Company called MFT Flash SSD. It come into view to be an application to facilitate supposedly extends the SSD life and enhances its operation. I still locate with the intention of hard to believe, other than thought I would ask.

I imagine it’s a write caching program so it would save up diminutive haphazard writes and do them in 1 go as a larger chronological write. I imagine its biggest advantage is to the old gen 1 jmicron ssd's. How to a great extent it would advantage Gen 2 drives such as the M225 or the one this thread is regarding does to facilitate and the sandforce class as gen 3. I do not be familiar with as they have comprised and built in cache. In addition I do not be familiar with if what it does would be in several method at odds through the drives own maintenance processes: wear leveling, garbage compilation, trim. I originate a comparison of data for the RealSSD C300 utilizing a sata III & a sata II within a evaluation on hothardware if anybody was interested.
