Hi, Just run that CrystalMark software with my new Plextor M5P 512 GB. The SSD is running in a 3 Gb/s system not in a 6 Gb/s one despite my laptop having a sec gen Intel I7! Afterall I'm very happy with the real world performance (booting is now at 20,6 sec and SW opens in a click!) I let you...

Hi, that's too much for my expertise (lack of it :-). Could you tell me how to do taht and explain what the results should mean? Thanks a lot for the comments and tips :-) paulo

Thanks :-) Yes, I'm running win7 Pro! paulo

Just one more thing I forgot: hibernate-yes/no? With the hdd I used hibernate all the time! I know ssd is mucc more quick to boot, but even so...Any problem with hibernation and ssd? thanks, paulo

Thanks Zxian! So, no need to do anything special, just leave as it was! GREAT :-) Cheers, paulo

Thanks :-) Yes, TRIM was already activated! Cheers, paulo

Hi, I received my Plextor M5P 512 GB today . Could not resist and it is already installed and running...like the wind! What a difference compared to my Seagate Momentus 7200.4. I'm running a Tecra R840 laptop, and now everything loads quickly! The Win boot is phenomenal . Everything went...

Thanks :-) I saw that Kingston V200 is packed with an adhesive "ring" which is a great idea! I hope not to use any material that could send "dirt" particles to the inside of laptop :-( paulo

Thanks again! Do you think that an insulation type material like foam will not hurt the heat dissipation from the ssd? I live in portugal, a cork country! I could use it too, but cork is a great insulation material! paulo

Thanks! It is a toshiba tecra r840! The hdd it is not screwed just seats in the bay (for what I saw at youtube...I did not took a look for mine, but it will be the same!)

Hello, another stupid question but here it is: my laptop hdd is 9.5 mm thick and my new Plextor M5P (will arrive the after tomorrow!) it is only 7mm! I cannot find the manuals for any plextor ssd so, maybe someone could tell me how to solve that "problem"! Could I install it like that and...

Problem solved! It was a WinZip definition that was showing the file as a zip when it was not!!!

Thanks!

I'm using IE9 and download as m5p_512gn...type of file "WinZip File (.iso)". Is this the same?

Yes, I saw that before! But try download it and you will find that it is a zip file! So, it is that zip file that I should burn in a CD or the unziped folder named isolinux that I should burn? paulo
