Documentation

2.5" drive.

This might be too much detail lol , as long its 2.5" it will work fine.

thank you very much.. not too detailed and perfect!

can i ask where you got that image and if theres a higher res image as the measurements are a bit hard to read

[iPhantomhives]

Don't have higher res , but you may take a look here - http://download.micron.com/pdf/datas...d_c300_2_5.pdf Page 27.

how does this SSD look? im just about to buy it :P

[iPhantomhives]

It will fit , but I'm not sure about the performance , $99 for

Up to 550MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 515MB/s
4KB Random Write
Up to 90,000 IOPS

Seem worth it.

haha we shall see when it comes in will do some benchmarking just for the heck of it to get sata 3 speeds working hopefully. Is bios A05 compatible with sata 3 speeds? or was it A03?

[iPhantomhives]

it was A05 , I believe.

Looking forward for the benchmark I might consider it if it has good boot time , my c300 can't perform well on m14x , it gets around 14-15sec , but on my m18x only 9sec , still can't figure it out why.
