could you tell me how much sequential write would be used and the difference noticed in a real world scenario. Sandisk has alot more at 445mb than samsung 250mb on that one

i convert alot of mp4/avi files. would that make use of it?

just the benchmark. Haven't had time to use the pc much this week but so far i notice a slight speed up in load time from my ocz agility 3 60gb ssd. But i think even if its just on the benchmark its still pretty low dont you think?

I'd try to contact the manufacturer assuming you connected the SSD to a SATA 6gb/s port.

read somewhere some people updated their intel rapid storage driver and it increased their speed. Not sure if that would be the case with me as i was already using an ssd before too.

Have you got AHCI activated in the BIOS? Maybe give AS SSD benchmark tester a try to see if it give the same results.

Just so that I don't make a new thread, I've also been looking at getting the Samsung SSD. My 1tb caviar black has about 290gb left on it and I have noticed it seems to be noticeably slower at booting up and launching programs. It's fine while gaming but general desktop use it pretty slow.

Does anybody have any guides for doing a clean install? And how would I go about re-installing windows as I don't think I have a disk as PCS installed it. I've read a few guides online and they all seem to contradict each other in some way. I've read the SSD Management thread on here but that's obviously more about once you're up and running.

Also does the 840 come with the mounting bracket and cable?

If you get the samsung ssd, it comes with a data migration software. Plug in your ssd, load up windows on your hdd, install the program and run it and its basically just a 1 click clone job onto the ssd. extremely easy:)
