Is there anything better and faster than that, or is that good enough?

[ronan_zj]

depends ur demand。
160G is OK for me。
I will buy intel 320G when it is released

I haven't heard back from Corsair yet either, Joker.

Meh. Samsung is working out the kinks and I would rather them do that and take their time then rush out some crappy, haphass firmware

[ronan_zj]

Lol， dont use Corsair TRIM firmware, OCZ had said earlier that firmware was a pain in the . the GC one is pretty stable

[sleey0]

Well, I would like the opportunity to find out for myself, really.

Just give me the chance to test it, Samsung! lol

Ditto, I'd like to see for myself how the TRIM beta firmware works.

[sleey0]

Like I said, if/when I get the FW from Corsair, I'll post it and let you guys know

I was thinking about replacing this Patriot KOI Series SSD I bought recently until comparing benchmark results which overall I couldn't find any that were even remotely close.

Hi everyone,

My new laptop is going to arrive soon. I ordered it with 2 HP branded Intel X18-m G1 160GB drives installed.

Can anyone please give me a quick rundown of what I have to do to maintain their speeds? I know that they dont support TRIM being G1 versions.

I will not be running them in RAID, but as just C: and D: drives within Win7.

Is the GC fully automatic? Do i have to format them every year a certain way? Are there things to avoid?

Thank You.
