Fast, reliable, good bonus gifts : Samsung 830 - Series MZ-7PC064D/AM 64 GB 2.5 Inch SATA III MLC Internal SSD Desktop Kit with Norton Ghost 15
(NOTE: This review is for the 128GB version of the Samsung 830 SSD. If you are seeing it under any other size or type of 830, it is because Amazon cross-posts similar product reviews together and we reviewers have no control over it)
I just upgraded my C: drive from a RAID 0 array of two WD Caviar Black 7200RPM 32MB cache volumes to a pair of the Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" SATA III Desktop kit (also put in RAID 0). Although the 830 promises compatibility with SATA III @ 6GB/s, my RAID controller is SATA II @ 3GB/s.
Because this was my C: drive, manually using Samsung's tools to put together the RAID array was out of the question. However, I can tell you that I played with both the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and its replacement, the Intel RapidStorage Technology. Both work with these drives just as easily as any other.
The difference between the "Laptop" and "Desktop" kits is as follows:
Laptop: comes with an external SATA-to-USB cable for plugging the drive straight into a USB port (it will work without having to have its own power source) and a plastic mounting frame that can be used to install the drive in a wider laptop bay.
Desktop: comes with a mounting bracket for fitting the drive into a 3.5" bay, screws to secure the drive, a power connector (4-pin Molex from your PC's power supply to standard SATA power connector on the drive), and a standard SATA data cable.
Both come with Norton Ghost and the 128GB and larger sizes also come with a free download voucher for Arkham City (download expires in March 2012!)
Like all SSDs, the 830 is unbelievably light. It also has a pretty sleek black brushed metal finish that almost makes you wish your hard drives had a window so you could show them off. For me, the drive slid easily into place and once we were off and running, there was no looking back.
These drives are amazing! My Windows Experience Index (a rating from 1.0 to 7.9) pegged the ceiling at 7.9. Although Samsung claims sequential reads of up to 520MB/s and sequential write speeds of 320MB/s, I got great response out of my RAID array despite the slower SATA II controller. I took a read of the drive after having installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition. Passmark's benchmarks are:
Sequential Read: 490.5
Sequential Write: 471.1
Random Seek + RW: 412.4
The box also included the Samsung Magician, a very easy-to-use collection of utilities and links to any documentation you might want to read on the drive, from the simple & friendly to the deep-down technical. There are performance benchmarking tools but I'm sorry to say that those were unable to detect my drive, most likely because of the fact that it's in a RAID configuration. A nice touch was that with the click of a button, the Samsung software will automatically make the SSD adjustments you'd normally have to do yourself. It will give you a list so you can pick and choose, but what we're referring to is disabling ReadyBoost and Superfetch and turning off Windows Disk Defragmenter.
Arkham City is gorgeous. Load times are about 10-15 seconds. Skyrim is gorgeous. Neither stutters. And of course programs load lightning-fast. Accessing things across a home network is still laggy, but this is the nature of network latency and not the fault of the drive: once you launch a program, it's ready to go.
I was hesitant to dive into SSD for my main desktop. Now that I have the Samsung 830, I have no regrets at all. This blazing peek into the future of hard drives was money well spent.
TIP: I use PerfectDisk 12.5 from Raxco to optimize my SSDs: it has the ability to properly optimize an SSD without the wear and tear of a typical defragmenter.
