Boasts more performance than the 290X yet demands less power consumption. Heck it has a max TDP of only 175W, the same as HD7870, my current GPU. I'm enticed but it all comes to the final price. Fingers crossed that it won't pass the RM1k mark.

Superfish relaunched itself with a new name. The fact the new company tried to hide its relationship to Superfish means it is up to something shoddy all right.

Yeah I know I considered exchanging it but since I use Windows, I thought it wouldn't matter.

(It was already ordered when I posted those)

And while this didn’t appear to be related to the fact that the SSDs were running a Linux server, it can’t be ruled out at this time.


I'd disable TRIM completely no matter the OS, just to be sure.

I'd worry even more. According to what they argue the drive misinterprets the TRIM command. Linux supports TRIM for a long time (6-7 years, i think) and it has something called "legacy TRIM command" which suggests that there is more than one format of TRIM instructions: legacy and non-legacy. MS Windows did not support TRIM properly in Windows 7, yet it argues that it supports it in Windows 8 (wikipedia source, but hey).

You might be lucky and the drive misinterprets only one type of TRIM messages, and even more lucky and MS Windows 8 implements the messages that the drive do not misinterpret. Yet, i wouldn't risk, and wouldn't use that drive for any important data.

(they tests those disks on linux just because the biggest consumers of SSDs are VPS farms running Xen, that's also the reason linux got the support early.)

Seems to me like it's only an issue in ext4 file systems.

Samsung sells truck loads of these drives yet I haven't anything like this before.

Could be, there's hardly anything as buggy as ext4 (people just add feature after feature to it for no apparent reason). Yet, i'd try to be as safe as i can :3

I have to wonder why whatsappTime.exe must create three processes of itself running simultaneously on launch?

^ i've had good experience with Crucial overall. People argue that they're not top quality, but i currently use their RAM and SSD (on the laptop i'm posting this from) for two years and hadn't had any problems yet.
