I bought a Corsair X64. It was one of the most expensive SSDs at the time. It literally broke 1 month after the warranty was up (2 years 1 month) so basically I was told that I have a really expensive paperweight :( I now have an OCZ agility - it wasn't expensive at all and it has a 3 year warranty so now if it breaks before 3 years I can get it replaced but if it breaks after 3 years it won't be a huge loss because it didn't cost too much :) I would stick to mid range or long warranty ones!

I've yet been able to achieve higher speeds in RAID0 vs just a single SSD. It is kinda annoying. Also, worth noting that RAID0 on a mac negates the ability to reliably do a bootcamp partition unless you partition each drive to have space outside of the array. I just got done with a RAID0 SSD setup in my MacBook Pro. No speed increases and slightly worse battery performance, but went from a 60GB in space to 120GB obviously. The increased space is nice, but could have just kept them separate.

@dev21012 Actually, I have TRIM support, even with the drives in a Raid0. It says right in the system profiler that TRIM is enabled for both drives. For proof of this, check out the Raid0 hackintosh tutorial video on my channel. Also, my cable management is messy, but that's because I was still working inside the machine. It wasn't the finished product that I shipped. I don't get what you're talking about with the PCI USB "thing", but regardless, what would be wrong with that?

THGcreations commented on 14 Jun 2012

@dev21012 Judging by your channel, you only have a dual core computer, in which you use for minecraft. I'm sure you know a lot about building computers. Your an idiot and have no idea what your talking about. Your ugly as fuck. Quit talking shit and come back and comment when you have something good to say. If you don't like the videos then DON'T WATCH THEM. Nobody wants to hear your opinion. Dumbass

Devin9 commented on 14 Jun 2012

Your cable management is a joke and you barely know what you are talking about, you don't put SSD's in RAID. Why? Because you lose TRIM support and it lowers the lifetime of the SSD's. Also wtf is up with that usb pci thing? That is ugly as fuck, I don't know who asked for you to build a computer but they are obviously dumb as hell as well as anyone else who wants you to build them computer.

hey which os would you say is better? I'm building a quadcore with 8gb (maybe 12 if thats not over kill) and I wanna use it for video editing, photoshop, and some gaming....apparently lion is slower than snow leopard but I'm starting to think its due to the applications lack of support for multiple core and 64bit....can I get your thoughts on it before I go out and buy my parts and os.

TalesOfWar commented on 29 Apr 2012

Milage may vary as they say lol. You seem to have gotten a clunker, plus SSD's are still pretty new tech and they're still working out the kinks and stuff. The older drives are more than likely going to be less reliable too. Personally I just use Intel drives, they cost more, but statistically they're one of the most reliable brands and you get a 5 year warranty on them, which is nice.

Devin9 commented on 14 Jun 2012

Usually Sata cables are forwards and backwards compatible. o.O But he is still stupid as fuck because HE IS PUTTING SSD'S IN RAID!!!! ARGGGGHHHH! If you dont know why its bad it because you lose TRIM support and it lowers the life time of the SSD. -_- This guy makes me face palm every minute of his videos doing something so wrong and saying the wrong thing all the time.

Help Pleaze!! 1 Corsair Gt or Plextor m3 128gb? 2 would i need molex conectors or somthing to atach 2 120s on the tx 750w power suply that you have??? 3 do you like your tx 750w and is it possible to have good cable management? THANKS! nice vid but wish there was betchmarks

Prem Singh commented on 04 Aug 2012

I have a Corsair Force Series 120gb 3 ssd installed to my hackintosh running mountain lion. I did a test on Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and got the following results: Write: 127mb/s Read: 182mb/s. Do these seem right to you or slow? Thanks.

Dan Walsh commented on 29 Apr 2012

For sure, although personally I would wait for larger storage sizes to be released before investing in one. Right now 60GB-120GB are the standards. When the 250GB-500GB become standards they'll lower in cost greatly.

SenseFearZz commented on 03 Nov 2012

Got this ssd but no one of my pc's can find it? when i try to istall window's on it with disc and computer image (or something like that) my pc says it can't find any harddrives to install it to? pleas help

TalesOfWar commented on 29 Apr 2012

I wouldn't cheap out on things like SSD's. You'll appreciate spending the extra on a good quality drive in the long run. Corsair, Crucial and Intel make the most reliable ones.

AshleysApps commented on 29 Apr 2012

if you want a computer with lots of memory (not RAM) but want a fast booting time. could you boot the OS from an SSD and have all of the other data on hard drives?

Kyle Freeman commented on 29 Apr 2012

Crucial M4 Drives 128GB are $120 shipping included right now at Buy dot com. $10 off $50 for new customers coupon available too so really on $109.

Bob Roche commented on 13 May 2012

@KianAfshari Actually, the cable doesn't matter. I still get right around 1 Gb/s with this array. Check out the next video to see them in action.

Kyle Freeman commented on 29 Apr 2012

Yeah, they were purchased for a client, but both of them will cost you less than $400 total. Actually, I think less than $300 now.

Dan Walsh commented on 29 Apr 2012

With a job? :P Plus at the start he said the computer is for a client, which would mean the parts were paid for by the client.

Bob Roche commented on 17 May 2012

@KianAfshari Actually, the cable doesn't matter. As seen in the next video, I still get almost 1 GB/s read/write speeds.

Vi Luong commented on 29 Apr 2012

I wrote my comment before watching this video. I also just saw the video of him building a comp for his client. My bad

Neosum commented on 16 Aug 2012

I was considering two of these drives in raid0 as my boot device. Is it noticeably faster for normal everyday usage?

collintheapplegeek commented on 29 Apr 2012

I got the 90GB version of the Corsair Force GT for my Mac Pro. Also using a 60GB OWC SSD in my 2009 15" MacBook Pro.

Phol Pettersson commented on 31 Aug 2014

Hahha cant believe it.. Use SATA3 PORTS för raid0 is good but he is using SATA2 cables! LOL just loving it!

Bob Roche commented on 29 Apr 2012

The other drive won't fail, however, you will lose your data. Having a raid0 makes backups twice as important!

wilfeatscheese commented on 22 Aug 2013

Sata 2 and 3 cable are the same ! Sata 1 cables do not have a locking catch but are otherwise identical too :)

I just ordered this case, but a lot of reviews say the stock fans are really bad. I have only one GPU and an i5, so I don't have a very high end setup, but I bought this case so I'll have better temperatures. Will the normal fans still make my GPU and CPU hot? Are better fans also neccecary for me as well? I also heard playing with the front door open helps with the airflow.

Roby599 commented on 28 Jun 2013

I ordered two ''be quiet!'s" Shadow Wings which cause enough airflow and not too mutch noise. They were 150 bucks each so not that cheap but I heard be quiet! is supposed to be one of the better brands for these sort of things. Better pay some more for high quality! :D Thanks for the advice though.

gamerdw1989 commented on 09 Jun 2013

This case will make temps hotter for sure. But if you are not overclocking it won't be a problem. And yes stock fans are 'noisy'. Buy quiet ones. I made a new video btw check it on my channel aub :)

FoodOnCrack commented on 28 Jun 2013

are you satisfied with the extreme 4? i have one right now stacking up with parts to soon replace the old parts in my pc.

FoodOnCrack commented on 28 Jun 2013

if you plan on replacing them replace them with noctua's. plus they have 7 years warranty

Es muy probable q sea eso. El problema es saber cual.

Mario Muñoz (Rez) commented on 21 Dec 2015

Hola, encontró alguna solución? Tengo un problema similar, donde se congela la pantalla, cuando logra bootear. O en vez de no prender, prende, pero no llega ni a la POST. Alguien me sugirió pasarle una secadora de pelo (así llegue a su video) xq aparentemente x el calor con el tiempo la tarjeta podría dessoldarse.. La idea es que se caliente con el calor de la secadora y se "resolde" en su posición original.. En su posición yo trataría de sacar la tarjeta madre y darle suficiente calor para que se reconocen los componentes.. Espero me pueda pasar algún feedback desde que subió el video a hoy Gracias

Jorge Monasterio commented on 21 Dec 2015

Hola buen dia amigo. Gracias por su comentario. No man. Nada. Sigo con el mismo Problema. No puedo apagar la pc porq ya al pasar la noche al encender tengo q pasarle el secador. Estoy pensando en llevarla a un técnico para q revise las soldaduras y lo capacitores. He observado que al encender con el secador de pelo. Pierde la configuración de la hora en el Windows. Pero lo q me parece extraño es que nada mas la hora se desconfigura. Si fuese la pila del cmos también se perdiera la configuración del bios. Pero bueno. Aun sigo teniendo el problema

Thank god mine Force GT didn't fail or die when I purchase at an early phase, at that time there seems to be loads of issues with SandForce problems. Fortunately the issues are more or less ironed out and mine wasn't affected! Phew! :)

Amigo, no SSD está o windows e os programas instalados! não adianta instalar só o windows e deixar os programas em HD pq vai continuar inferior por causa da limitação de velocidade da HD! Aqui eu deixo o windows e programas no SSD e Musicas, videos e games eu deixo em HDs secundarias em RAID 0. E Outras Hds para armazenamento!

superkadu commented on 25 Mar 2012

Esse problema do boot se resolve usando a UEFI Bios!! mas prefiro deixar normal pq senão o windows 7 não consegue ser ativado hauahuaha o ativador cria um arquivo na bios! e com o UEFI bios ( a bios acaba sendo bloqueada ) mas em compensação o boot fica super rapido com o UEFI!

Vonderheidon commented on 19 Dec 2012

eu tenho um ssd identico, o meu inicia o windows antes dakelas bolinhas se juntarem pra formar o simbolo do windows, mais ou menos na metade do giro coloca o windows pra dar boot utilizando todos os nucleos do cpu pra ver se fica igual o meu. está lento isso ae xD abraço

Tb tenho um Force GT 120GB, é rápido msm, sendo q o meu no boot só não aparece akela tela de Iniciando, após terminar a animação do logo do win já corta direto pra área de trabalho...

Bruno Silva commented on 25 Mar 2012

o que fode é o tempo de boot da bios, ta bem demorado ainda, até ela fazer todos os testes, mas a parte do sistema ficou muito bom, bem rapidinho, espero ter uma aki no meu daki um tempo

CorsairBR commented on 19 Jun 2012

OMG ! vc colocou o windows pra executar com 30 programas e foi bem rapido lol... Acho q vou pegar um de 60 GB por agora e mais pra frente outro e fazer RAID 0 dai fica ignorante

superkadu commented on 19 Jun 2012

realmente Da muita diferença!!! vale a pena se tiver dinheiro pra gastar!!! Isso é uma das coisas que vc mais notará diferença usando o pc!

superkadu commented on 16 Sep 2012

isso... nao tem como ativar o windows pirata, pois a ativação é feita pela bios! E com o UEFI bios bloqueia qlq tipo de alteração na bios!
