AHCI should already be enabled unless you built your system wrong.

For my money, the Samsung 830 is still the drive to buy. I'm really tempted to grab one, but I'm curious to see if Apple ends up with one for their iMacs this spring.

Don't worry about mounting it. Just let it dangle.

What's the capacity? Smaller SSDs can't match the sequential throughput of 256+ GB SSDs. Random is generally more important to everyday use anyway.

Using non-randomized data makes it impossible to compare to other drives. Don't use 0s or 1s as the test data. You're just lying to yourself if you do.

CLAM DOWN posted:VVV Sorry, I didn't now that. This is the very first time I've had an SSD and I'm just trying to make sure it's working right. An explanation on why using 0s and 1s is lying to yourself: some SSDs compress the data before it's thrown onto the NAND, so highly compressible data like all 0s or 1s (which don't reflect real world usage) artificially inflate their benchmark scores.

xPanda posted:I'm torn between the Samsung 830 and Intel 520, and as they each perform/cost about the same I want to focus on reliability. Would it be right to say that these drives are both too new to really comment on their long term reliability? I find the Intel drive confusing - Intel is known for reliability, but the SF-2281 controller has a bad rap, doesn't it? Any opinions on which I should get? Also my Air has a 256GB Samsung 470 in it that I've been thoroughly pleased with.

redeyes posted:Exactly, so you can spend 5-10 grand, get the best thing Apple produces and still get a consumer standard hard drive. Uncredible. If you want a Cheetah or Raptor or something in the Mac Pro, I'm sorry but Apple just doesn't ask for it from its vendors. That's a walking dead system anyway.

Temps were much higher than they should have been on the 200 systems we purchased with Thermal Armor so we had to disassemble all of them and rip the Thermal Armor off. loving stupid design, ASUS.

Enabling TRIM in OS X on third-party SSDs works pretty reliably, in my experience. Also, unrelated but I don't think I've talked about it much here, so for those who don't frequent the Mac hardware thread: Fusion is loving awesome. If you have a Mac that can fit two drives, I highly recommend doing a DIY Fusion setup. I have a 256GB SSD + 4TB HDD setup in my iMac and it's great.
