Crucial M500 960GB best for large SSDs?

So the drive does this? Ie, whenever a read/write occurs it gets duplicated in the flash portion. Once the flash portion is full, old stuff gets over ridden? I'm sure that is a simplification, but is that approximately how it is done? Do you have a link to some info on the new Seagate...

Crucial M500 960GB best for large SSDs?

This post got me thinking....are there good hybrid drives available for laptops? A general hybrid question...what determines which data goes in the SS portion and what goes on the spinning portion? OS? Controller? Drive?

Crucial M500 960GB best for large SSDs?

I do back them up to an external 2TB drive. However, right now, my redundant backup is just a second partition on that external drive (because my laptop drive no longer hold all of them). Which is why I am looking at a larger drive for my laptop.

Crucial M500 960GB best for large SSDs?

I've got the 2.8 Ghz model. ;) I do understand your point. The issue is that I have two OS and about 180GB of photos on the 320GB HD. Things are pretty tight. I figured the SSD would help performance until I did buy a new laptop, and it wouldn't be money wasted, because when I do buy a...

Crucial M500 960GB best for large SSDs?

I currently have an Asus N81 laptop. It almost 4 years old, but still works good for what I need it to do. I will probably get a new laptop in a year or two, but in the meantime I am low on disk space. I was thinking about getting a large (>500GB) SSD, that I could use in this laptop, and also...

Inexpensive Starter System for kids

I had an old socket 939 system (2ghz, dual core Athlon, 2GB memory), that I was going to reformat for the kids. Unfortunately the power supply was bad. I got a new power supply but could not get the machine to POST, so I assume that the MB also got fried. I would like to build an...

Help me find a replacement power supply (please)

Antec responded: For fitting a standard PSU in the Overture II case, you need to get a power supply that has the fans placed in the front or back of the power supply (e.g. the EarthWatts or NeoPower series). This is necessary so that the air flows out to the side vent of the case...

Help me find a replacement power supply (please)

I need a replacement power supply for my Antec Overture II case. (SLP-450WR). The problem is that the case is a desktop variant, not a tower, and the power supply sits on the bottom of the case, with the fan blowing down. http://i.imgur.com/3D7Vy.jpg This produces two problems, the...

New C2D System won't post

I had a different power supply (Antec SmartPower 450W). I am still having the same problem. The system will continually reboot. Although now the CPU fan does spin on and off...but it won't post. Any more ideas?

I also found on a forum at xtremesystems, that the fortron power supplies don't work with the Gigabyte DS3. I just ordered a new power supply to give it a shot.

That was my first thought also. However, from what I can tell on Gigabyte's site, it is supported.

New C2D System won't post

I installed all of my parts. Turn on the power and power supply, video card and case fan all start. CPU fan will not start. The system then shuts down and tries again. I let it try three times before I flipped the switch on the power supply. When I flip the switch on the power supply to off...
