Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB SATA 2.5-Inch SATA III Solid State Drive (CSSD-F120GBGT-BK)
With the latest firmware from the box, and contrary to common belief that the SandForce be sub-standard, I must say that I have not encountered any problem with the first standard that I won the pole with a read / write. surprised. But instead of seeing the peak of 2 ms (probably to do with the standard configuration.) M4 is really in my opinion. I never had a crash or any of my friends are on Linux SandForce control problems and those with Windows 7 are so few that I just put it down to Windows as Windows is.
Everything you have heard about the fulfillment of their reality; SSD, especially the newer SATA III IOPS and read / write speeds, the only real interference (> 55000,> 450/400) of the question and immediately launched in a boot. a (7 seconds cold boot) to the desktop from the bootloader to work with demons loaded cars and services will be launched in the trunk and are not held for the operating system is loaded, I just installed. Ram improvements are very convincing. But most modern processors and up to 4 GB is enough. The real bottleneck is the hard drive now and replace it with a SSD demonstrates the improvement immediately.
It 'was a really strange, and what it is - unlike most upgradeable - the effect is very obvious to the user. I know that the price is high. But lower for one of these for your laptop or desktop is a must. The most important thing is the old hardware does not have SATA III, so do not worry when you get a SATA II OCZ Vertex 2 (really cheap at the moment), which is saturating the banda, the better for it.
TRIM and the need to ensure that it is enabled AHCI from the beginning. (Operating system kernel and bios +) on Linux (kernel> 2.3) Edit / fstab etc / as root on / / sudo and "noatime off" until the end of the options listed. (By default, only) with no gap immediately after installation. I highly recommend sticking with Ext4 as journaling is no longer true, is to wear as well as the Btrfs is still fdsck chase time, and I guarantee this unit will help. the Arch Wiki contains a lot of data to improve performance. But other than that, I said it too.
Corsair may be new to the game. But their reputation is excellent for SDRAM, so I'm sure that will take you through the level of quality to them. Guarantee, and no matter how hard you try, you will burn through the screen or SSD mother before death.
On a side note, this peculiar form of a 180GB SSD, but I think that is the result of my operating system as a gold standard and precision than ever. If you do not know what a bonus, a few GB of SSD is not working. The controls used for wear leveling, etc. I can not remember wearing this topic. But I know that Intel is not, this may very well be true. I tried to see through the package to something. But I'm not sure. I suspect that might be true. They used this for a few weeks now, shows no performance degradation.

Trust me, camouflage effectively, you will not believe it's incredibly important test ino Ultrabooks underpowered / Macbook Air is that it shows that the difference is.
The advantage of this is very cheap and doesn 'really bugs me is installed in a laptop.For Dell or HP OEM disk with Windows, you can get from the manufacturer, if you have not ordered. one when you bought your computer. Some of the other units of data transfer tool, but I highly recommend it for Windows, do a clean install is not working properly. Linux users are just fine and can be easily copied to a disk that is alive.
* If you have a laptop hard drive 7200 RPM, then I suggest you take a Vantec NexStar CX 2.5 mm U.S. to SATA Enclosure USB 3.0 External Hard. (NST-200S3-BK) $ 20.00 for the old drive and can copy data to a sort of 7200 RPM external HDD to USB 3.0 speed. Otherwise, it is a USB 2.0 will do.
