Please note:
- The hard disk has 2.5 inches and contains no frame for mounting in a 3.5-inch bay.
- The included software on the CD Magician is rather dated. Here you should download the latest version of Samsung
- The plate should be connected to a 6Gb SATA controller so that you benefit from the full power (max. Transmission power of SATA III is 600 MByte / s)
- With Windows XP you will not get the full performance because some peculiarities of the SSD are ignored by the operating system. Since XP expires in April 2014, and I have the same exchange associated with an update to Windows 7
- After installing the operating system you should check with the Magician tool the operating system settings and adjust them if necessary. Here is offered some services that lead to excessive write activity to disable (indexing, prefetch, restore points, ...)
Positives:
- Great performance - from boot screen to win7 application pass 12 seconds (Win 7 64 bit Professional). You can get started immediately after registration and will be thwarted in any way by disk activity.
- Quiet - there remains a very small residual mE nocht noise
- Energy saving
Negative (only applies to the software Magician):
- In the warranty terms, please refer to a threshold of Totaly bytes written. With it was not possible to determine this value on the Samsung Internet page of the technical documentation or from Magician.
- Magician installs itself in the startup - why?
- The page for setting the over provisioning is to be treated with caution. With Clear is without notice increases the NTFS partition.
- Holds the hard drive is a non-NTFS partition, then shows the over provisioning side of the Magician tool displays an error.
- The over provisioning is not really transparent. If it is turned on by any of clicks in the Magician software or use it any unpartitioned space
