SSD Tweak Tools

Thanks! And, how do I lower pagefile size? Also, I assume hibernate and sleep are not the same thing? For some reason, even if I force a "sleep" mode, the monitor will remain off, but the compter comes back on???

SSD Tweak Tools

Hi & obviously SSD's eliminate many of the problems associated with mechanical drives and, I'm sure, introduce some of their own. I'm assuming that disk defragmentation isn't as effective on an SSD, as on a mechanical drive? I guess my questions are: how best can we tweak our new SSD's and...

SSD Peformance

What, then, is the reality, or is there no objective test for this?

SSD Peformance

So, having a secondary drive for data and digital pictures is unnecessary, as long as total volume is less than 70% capacity; there would be no performance gain by taking such an approach?

SSD Peformance

Hi, I just installed a new Samsung 250 gb SSD in my old laptop and I'm curious, does it work the same way as a mechanical hard drive, in that the more information you store on it, the slower it becomes? thanks, John

P7P55D-E Deluxe SDD Config

I've downloaded the free cloning software from Western Digital, which requires WD drives installed. I have two Raptors in raid and a WD external drive and yet the program doesn't recognize them, cancels the installation. I tried contacting WD and their login function is not working. Wow, first...

Thanks and yes, that's how I believed it to work, as in this case, a no can do.

Corsair HX620W and SSD

Hi, I purchased a new Samsung 250 gb SSD to install in my desktop, not thinking about voltage requirements. I understand my old Raptors are at 12v, while these new 2.5" SSD's run at 5v. I've looked at the Corsair PSU's manual and in no way can I figure out where to find a 5v supply (although...

Laptop Drive

Hello and thanks. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hot plugging it?" The friend now has his old hd in an external case and has access, but isn't able to boot any of his programs (I didn't know this was what he was after). I always assumed you wouldn't be able to access a program this...

P7P55D-E Deluxe SDD Config

Thanks, Igor. If I'm not mistaken, however, the AHCI function has to be engaged for the new SSD, Samsung drive, before loading new programs; but, i need the RAID configuration for the WD drives and am not sure that the bios will allow for the two choices (will have the WD drives on Intell...

P7P55D-E Deluxe SDD Config

Hello Igor and thanks for the response and information. I haven't done so, myself, but I assume it's possible to upload a picture. I'm not sure about another raid configuration, will likely just choose AHCI. How, Igor, does one clone or migrate windows from hdd to ssd? thanks, John
