Corsair Nova CSSD-V32GB2-BRKT 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Comment:
Rapid installs and commence up. Programs open up about the identical if not slightly faster. Was expecting superior overall performance compared to regular HD. It is more rapidly/snappier but not worth the value per GB. Install was a pain on an AMD motherboard. Had to locate the proper sata port to use (has 2 controllers on the mobo) otherwise it wasn't recognized in AHCI mode. After Win 7 installed had to do important tweaks to get optimum efficiency. And no, Windows 7 did not turn off Superfetch, defrag, and so forth. by default, even even though the ssd was the only drive hooked up at the time. It could be that you can't use the AMD AHCI sata drivers unless you can live with out Trim/garbage collection. It wouldn't be an concern but the default MS driver is slower than AMD's at this point.

Simple to install, specifically with the integrated mounting bracket. Rapid as a mother. None, in addition to ever possessing to go back to optical...

Rapid, Danged quick!, Wonderful cost with the rebates and instant savings, fits effectively comes with the two.five bracket and all goodies necessary for installation Size, if it was a bit bigger it'd be Astounding, but you get what you pay for and its a Wonderful bang for the buck obtain!

Amazingly rapidly drive! None Drive is only 32GB and price 贄 (this is truly a plus for how a lot other individuals cost)The drive is Quite modest and requires a bracket to mount in a normal desktop machine... It DOES come with this bracket.

Installed Win 7 64 bit, and was up and operating to the desktop for configuration in beneath 18 minutes! I built my wife a new Pc with this, a it runs programs lighting rapidly. Haven't tried any video encoding however, but I'm confident anything will advantage. I'm quite satisfied with my induction to SSD. Thinking of putting 1 in my gaming laptop and my PS3. Cost was okay I guess. Such is the price of adopting new tech. Just adequate for my OS and a few applications. All games, such as "My Documents" moved to 1Tb HD.

Extremely solid and small drive.Loaded Win7 64bit on it with no any difficulties, gets a 7. rating. Not really as rapid as I was thinking. This is my 1st SSD and I actually am not seeing that substantially of a general speed improve, see other thoughts.Also, why the hell haven't storage manufacturers started adopting the appropriate usage for storage size? This 32GB is truly 29.7GB. 1GB = 2Ⓜ MB, NOT tenί MB Disabled hibernate, disabled indexing, moved /temp and moved the pagefile to a HDD: win7 ends up taking up 12GB.I have 18GB no cost, possibly I really should try installing CS5 to it and seeing the performance acquire. But overall, win7 begins-up and shuts-down at about the same speed as a caviar blue. Meh?I would like to see how ubuntu 10.ten runs on it.

Quiet cool and Operates Perfectly None - By the time I got the rebate the USA was no longer employing Dollars. This worked perfectly -- No firmware and supports Trim. Talked a buddy into a Corsair ...By then his was faster and less costly ;-(

No noise. No noise. No noise. My technique boots up with Ubuntu ten.10 in under 20 seconds, shuts down in three seconds. So far the efficiency appears really very good. I'm running it as my primary (and only) drive for my system. Have performed some tweaks to preserve the life of the drive (noatime, and so forth.) so I'll see how lengthy it lasts. Most of my stuff is cloud-based, so I'm not specifically terrified of a failure. Nothing to report so far. Paired this with an Atom motherboard in a really tiny situation. No need to have for any moving parts! No fans anyplace (removed the fan that came with the situation).

I'm certain the drive is excellent. If I had it.... I'm confident it has cons. But.... I'd have a lot much better assessment potential if I had my drive. The drive was shipped final 5 days ago from a city 3 hours away. Now after days of shipping, it is 9 hours away.The guidelines state that criticism of newegg and affiliated services must not be posted in product reviews, but a item is the sum of it's parts. A fantastic sales environment is a element of that. If I knew EggSaver shipping was this hair brained, I'd have just driven to the warehouse and picked it up myself.

Quickly! 7.7 WEI scoreAffordable 'n Effortless, even I could figure it out lol. Its so quiet I forget my computer is on. LOL JK! Use vlite or rt7lite to make windows smaller so it fits much better. Default will take like 20 of the 30 gigs and four gigs of updates leaves about 6GB of space left.

Comment:
Rapid, good excellent. None. No disappointments here. Easy to install, fast and great top quality.

Utilised only to load Windows. Startup time is about 17 seconds. A small on the little side, but you can disable the Hibernation function in Windows to totally free up about 8 GB of space (see beneath). Click Start off, and then click Run. Then in the open box, sort ” cmd ” with no quotes and then click OK.From an administrative command prompt, kind “powercfg -h off” to get that space back.So this trick will support you to increase up to 8GB hard disk space.

This SSD was at the best price for me to finally determine to try a single. I wish I had gotten one particular sooner; this factor flies!On my new method, Windows 7 boots up to a usable Desktop in virtually no time at all, in particular when compared to a tricky drive. Total boot time averages around ten seconds for me. I had a tight spending budget and didn't spend the added 30 or so bucks to get a nice Sandforce two SSD with considerably increased read and write speeds. But that's my fault, not the SSD's. Make confident to tweak your SSD to get the most efficiency out of it. I'm glad I took the time to do it to mine; The speed on this point is outrageous...and this is final generation SSD tech!

Blazing fast speeds in comparison to a HDD. Utilizing Roxio to burn DVD's on HDD took about 90% time of film to burn. Installed Roxio on SSD and it burns a movie ƒ hour movie) in ㅌ minutes! Remarkable! Absolutely nothing from what I can believe of! Also comes with an enclosure for you to slide it in your 2.5" case next to other HDD's. Easy install. Solid obtain all around....Thinking about purchasing one more SSD but of larger size for apps/games and using this one particular for OS only. If you do use this for OS, be positive to go into registry and modify default install directory to yet another drive...it's been quite annoying possessing to change install directory just about every time you install a thing; or if an install doesn't give the option to change directory (like Adobe suite for player, bridge, and so forth).

Nice boot times, seq read/write speeds pretty close to the stated values in the specs None identified I picked this up with a current Newegg promo exactly where they gave me a 20% discount off of an SSD of my deciding upon. I was waiting for a deal on this size SSD for the last of my HTPCs that didn't have an SSD. I installed Win7 Ult x86 and immediately after installing the fews apps I needed with the typical SSD space-saving tweaks, I ended up with 16GB space cost-free of the 30GB accessible. My WEI score for this drive was six.9 and the CrystalDiskMark Sequential scores were 184MB/s Read & 60 MB/s Write. Really pleased with the outcome and I hope that it lasts...

Comment:
Lightning speedy, almost instantaneous read/write speeds. When employed for running Windows 7, there is still a lot of space for a second partition for running other programs (internet, anti-virus, word processing, and so on.) High-priced and low capacity. Important! Be positive to alter your page file location to another drive, preferably and HDD. Otherwise, these SSDs get utilized like RAM and they could burn up. My motherboard is rather powerful, so that has a lot to do with the speeds I'm finding, but this is a considerably more quickly storage device than something I have ever utilized ahead of. Great get!

Decent Price tagPretty QuicklyCooldoesn't use much power Failing in 3 months? I just checked the intelligent status on the drive, each in HD Tune and Crystal Disk mark, CDM indicates the drive is 63%, though it says very good. HD Tune gave me a big warning on C7 CRC Error count. will be talking to Corsair about obtaining this drive RMA'd as I've only had it for about 3 months.If it weren't for this, I'd say it's a wonderful drive, as windows server 2008 r2 boots in literally ten-12 seconds.

Comment:
My very initial SSD from my SB set-up. It's incredibly low-cost and reliable. Such a shame that I didn't get the 10 dollar discount right after the release of Sandy Bridge. Boots my Windows 7 in much less than 15 seconds. So far so great, I've been making use of it due to the fact the 10th of January. Ultra DMA CRC Error Count Status: Warning in HD Tune.4 months and 28 days and counting is the estimated life of this SSD with SSD life. That's worse than getting a regular HDD. But then again, I could RMA it with my 3-year warranty if it fails, appropriate? Appropriate? I was paranoid before that I only got 12gb left, but immediately after reading some numerous web-sites through google, I found the greatest resolution, and ironically, it's from Corsair's Weblog, which actually helped immensely. I tried to disable some Windows capabilities as well to have a glaring total of 20gb.

Comment:
Really quickly. Boots a fresh install of Windows 7 in 15-20 seconds. Programs open like they're minimized. Unstable at instances and unpredictable. It will blue screen and/or hang up if you don't disable the page file in Windows. It is unstable in SATA IDE mode; you should set AHCI mode in your BIOS. Write speed is slower than HDD. Not as easy as just "pop it in and go". Also, all of the begin-up speed rewards have been negated on my technique since particular drivers make my program wait on hardware. So even if the drive is capable of booting Windows quickly, you may well still finish up waiting as long as you typically would with an HDD. All-in-all, the technology is as well new and it's not worth it.

Comment:
Got advertised speed, incredibly rapidly.SSD access time is unbeatable.Trim help. Price tag per gig, but that's not a surprise. Purchased 2 of them for family members laptops, each working great. Good drives for an net/streaming machine. As lengthy as you don't need anything additional then applications, and really little media on the computer system.

Comment:
comes with three.5" bracket+screws,fantastic trustworthy brand corsair,no noise and no heat. the only con is it does not come with a SATA data cable. this is a very fast spending budget ssd. reads are 190MB and writes are 75MB. those speeds are more quickly than the hard drive it replaced. my set up it is windows 7 and my main programs on the ssd and i have 1 game that i'm playing proper now (fallout:nv) also on there and i have the rest of my games and music backed up on a 640GB wd blue.

Low-cost, no cost shipping, and on rebate. I cannot stress enough how quickly this thing is. Remarkable. none

Operates very nice so far. My windows score for drives went from five.9 to 7.8, sweet! took away 1 egg for being shipped DHL, lol. all my ups orders from new egg take possibly 2-3 days. DHLwas like 7-8 days disable defrag for ssd's, and move your page file to your typical hhd. Enabled TRIM in windows
