    the cheapest out there at RM295

    there are many more out there like intel, kingston, sandisk and samsung but slightly more expensive at RM3XX

    also will be using on my kinda old system with sata2 port though

    good buy? or abit more money buy other brand

    Seems like a pretty decent drive. 5 years' warranty, right? But I would want to make sure they have a local distro here, and that it was not imported. Otherwise, warranty might be an issue...

    What chipset does it run on? Personally I would choose Intel or Samsung.

    Marvell 88SS9174-BLD2 with Micron 25nm synchronous MLC NAND flash...

    Sorry, looks like it only has 3 years warranty, not 5 years.

    Let us know how it goes! :D

    BTW, you are going to use this as a boot drive for a deskop, or a HDD replacement for a laptop?

    There's a few things that you can move your temp files to your HDD like Winrar and Photoshop.

    Yeah, definitely must consider SSD for any new build.

    Windoze 8 or 7? :D

    128 GB should be more than enough for the OS, applications and paging file.
