Which budget 64gb SSD for 1000he?

I want to eliminate some heat and noise as well as a bump in performance. I was looking at a couple budget SSD drives. I know some suffer from stutter but I have also been told this can be tweaked out. Please give me your input.

This is hte one I want to run but its 1.8" and requires a power adapater as well as a mounting adapter.

Wouldn't the 1.8" HS be the default size for a netbook?

 

All MLC SSDs will suffer from stutter, but some are not as bad as others. I'd go with the GSkill unit as they seem to have better support and customer reviews. I'm currently also using a GSkill SSD (256GB version) and it's been working like a charm so far.

 

Yeh I was thinking the same thing. It probably uses a 1.8" drive or only a PCI-E.
I could google it and find out but I'm to lazy b/c I got to eat.

BTW I have this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231220 in my sxps 1340 and it is nice and speedy

 

The 1000HE uses the standard 2.5" HDDs

 

You might want to check out the articles about SSDs at Anandtech. www.anandtech.com/storage . The short version is, that an Intel SSD is about 40 times as fast (literally), as the drives that you linked to. There is an OCZ Vertex that's about 4 times as fast as what you linked to, but still doesn't touch the Intels.

The Samsung based drives are not a significant, if any, performance bump over mechanical hard drives. They do have lower power consumption and noise, but frankly if you're buying them for performance you are wasting your money.

If you want a noticeable performance gain without paying the premium for an Intel SSD, I'd probably go for the OCZ Vertex series. A bit pricier than the links above, but about 4 times as fast.

This has pretty good reviews, but uses a newer controller so may be a bit more risky.

I already know about the intels. I have 2 80gb intels in Raid 0 on my desktop. They fly although thier write speeds could be better. The Vertex might be the best solution. $210.00 for a 60gb. But even with this drive I have to do a partition alignment and a few other changes. The Samsung SLC 64gb seems very solid. I found the $20.00 adapter that has to be used but wonder if anyone has tried this. A guy on newegg got one in his NC10.

 

The Intel does not suffer from stutter at all. I have ran a single 80gb and a RAID 0 setup that did not stutter one bit.

 

I ordered the 60gb Vertex drive. It should give me some sort of speed increase over what i have while running cool and silent!...... I HOPE!

 

It will. They're not X-25's, but they're so much faster than any of the competition it's no comparison.

 

Good... I will come back with some Crystalmark scores to compare my stock drive and the Vertex. I will visit OCZ's forum to get the alignment right on the SSD which I heard should be done on the Vertex. I am sure I wont get the full speed of the drive on the 1000he but I think I can get close to double the speed im getting now. Not to mention the access times will be way faster.

 

Ok I got it installed. The drive is a hair fatter then the old one which makes it a little hard to get the bottom plate back on but I got it in. I found the limit of the controller in case anyone wanted to know lol. It runs good but This drive would fly on a good controller. I forgot to bench my old drive but I saw some other benches and im getting over double the speed for reading and writing vs the stock drive and access time of course is .1ms vs 15ms lol. My atto at about 1/4 of the chart down stayed at the below results. I could tell that was the limit of the sata controller on this chipset. Not bad!

Read 130mbps

Write 125mbps

 

How much quicker does bootup feel?Opening programs? Did you do any tweaks like partition alignment?

 

I just put my vertex 120gb in my 1000he.

I used to have an 320gb disk with 5 os's on it, xp, server 2008, ubuntu, windows7, and MAC osX 10.5.5.7

I am now only runing vista ultimate on this puppy, and its about 50 seconds to full boot up.

with server 2008 (the closest to vista) it used to take 2-3 min to boot up.

also i have 2 gb ram in this thing too, so that does help.


Im sure if i did put in XP i would get 14 seconds boot up time, but i have nto tested it yet.


also, dont forget to turn off indexing and search servece,

and disable hiberation too.

that will help with performance on SSD, check google if you dont trust me.

 

i always thought they were faster than x-25

ya, the ocz vertex 120gb is faster.

 

but it does not last as long
