They're probably better known for producing USB sticks. Looks like they're branching out.

At least anybody buying this brand will know they're buying British. :sunglasses:

How did you guys get on with this HDD?

Anyone ran any benchmarks?

There's a few benchmarks earlier in the thread.

Mine arrived this morning 8-)

Have put it in my old MSI X610 laptop and installed XP Pro 32-bit into a 15GB partition on it from a fairly slow 8GB USB 2 memory stick:

- Initial (Quick) NTFS format and file copy: 3min 50sec
- Second stage of installation (before localisation): 1min 50sec
- Final stage of installation: 4min 00sec
- Time to boot to XP login screen after completion of POST: 13sec

It's a shame I don't have any timings from when I installed XP to the laptop's mechanical disk. It will also be interesting to see how the boot time is affected once I've installed all of the device drivers and software.

3guesses to 3guesses

21 Apr 16 #82

I should have mentioned that the above timings were with the "SATA mode" BIOS setting set to "IDE->AHCI". For comparison, with this set to "Native IDE" I got the following equivalent timings:

- Initial (Quick) NTFS format and file copy: 3min 45sec
- Second stage of installation (before localisation): 2min20sec
- Final stage of installation: 3min 50sec
- Time to boot to XP login screen after completion of POST: 15sec

This is a pretty old laptop so I assume it is just SATA I. All timings are fairly approximate but it is interesting to see there really isn't much difference between the IDE and SATA mode for the drive in this process.

5 working days for me - FYI they tend to ship from Swiss / German locations. Fine if you can wait. I'be had their orders take 2 weeks but they are keen on price.

Bought for vm OS installation, i never thought about running my VM's on a SSD until i read the posts on this forum, strange since i have been running an active VM for over 3 years and every PC and laptop i have is running on a SSD, should give a decent performance boost until i upgrade my microservers CPU.

Thanks OP

I suppose I can't really complain due to the low cost and all but the delivery is sure slow. It was dispatched early Thursday morning so that's 5 days now if you exclude Thursday and Sunday.

My only problem is the low cache on the120gb while for the 240 and upper is bigger ... But it's 23£... What to ask for.
I bet i won't see any real diff with the evo 850 i just got. Maybe in a few years when one of them fail

taz002dev

5 Apr 16 #66

Ordered 2 by mistake. One from amaxon advertised as P 3 . Got P4 which looks like it has physon 10 controller. Might be good. The cache is very poor as per a spec document but on the 240gb is 512mb which might be mistake.
Thinking about keeping bith though

tightar5e to taz002dev

5 Apr 16 #67

I think you are right, physon 10 Controller, 128MB Nanya Memory, tied to Toshiba 19nm TLC Flash.
The Integral Series-4 120GB SSD looks physically Identical to the newly released Sony SLW-MG2 (240GB) AND SLW-MG4 (480GB).

I think it goes like this: Sony decided not to launch the 120GB, deciding it was obsolete (no profit in it) and wrote-off a load of stock they had, had produced, which has ended up coming out under the Integral Brand (or something along those lines) Either way, they seem pretty good quality for a £25 drive. Not breathtaking speed, but better than expected.

I also ordered 4x Kingston SE9 16GB USB Drives at the same time, mymemory price £15.99, Customs Value £10.99, (x1.455) so you can work out from that the profit margin on the Integral SSDs is higher, i.e. there is room for these to drop to £19.99.
£13.74*1.455=19.99 (Coincidentially)

Nice well made case, similar to the Sandisk Plus, metal though (looks very Sandisk in design). Very cool in operation, cloned a disk, still cool to touch. The older Samsung 830 it was been cloned from got fairly hot. Haven't noticed any drop outs, glitches, pauses, which I've seen on cheap drives. Still testing...not awful so far.

I'm not so concerned about portability or ruggedness. I'm much more interested in performance (would read and writes be quicker), will it stay cool (some 128GB USB 3 memory sticks reportedly get very hot), and will it have a longer life (number of re-writes).

tightar5e

1 Apr 16 #49

Thanks. It did eventually track about 8pm, so TCB came through. I'm just a bit wary of Google of late, as Google 49.xx is doing something 'iffy' with its Cookies, (it restores from saved/'backup' cache - which I think are stored in Adobe Flash's persistent storage) after you clear History/Cookies, in a sense, it tries to put its own Google cookies back again, by the looks of it, which means any previous trackings could go Google's way.

USB stick. Much more portable and depending which one you buy will be more rugged.

Ok so I've gone and ordered one and it arrived today. Came with no cables, not to worry. What will i need to get this fitted and working in my PC. The enclosure and the SATA cable right? Anything else. Sorry if already posted, had a quick look couldnt see anything.

Chrrye to habz786

31 Mar 16 1 #46

http://www.cablestogo.com/learning/connector-guides/internal

It needs to connect via SATA cable to your motherboard and via a SATApower cable to your PSU.

If you are replacing an existing drive you can simply harvest these from the existing drive.

If you are adding it additionally (to your existing drive) then you will need to acquire another SATA cable and hope there is a spare SATApower connector from your PSU. If there is not a spare power connector from your PSU you will need to buy a splitter cable. Both SATA cable and SATApower splitter are inexpensive.

I wouldn't worry overly on the enclosure/caddy, you are fine just taping the drive inside the computer (it is far lighter and far more knock-resistant than a standard hard drive). You can of course get a caddy/enclosure if you want.

Hopefully it will be back. I held off as I couldn't decide whether it was worth getting a higher capacity drive...

You are definitely fine btw (for the SATA SSD). Your laptop's not *that* old!

Those in the know: would it be better to use this SSD with a USB 3 adapter (eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252239115926) or to buy a dedicated ~128GB USB 3 memory stick? I'm thinking performance, heat, longevity mainly.

What is the laptop? Make & model?

frownbreaker

31 Mar 16 1 #37

Yes you will be fine. If the drive you are replacing is thicker then you may need a spacer or just use a couple of old credit cards / gift cards. Make sure you tape over any metal on the cards (like the chip and PIN) as the spacer needs to be non conductive ideally.

Hi, got a very old laptop, will this be okay with it, a Crucial scan says I am only compatible to SATA SSD?

Anyone got TCB to track on this (state if you are using code or not), ordered overnight, nothing tracked, using latest Google Chrome. Don't mind it been declined, just don't like it when things don't track. Problem ordering overnight, you never know if any of these cashback tracking systems are down for maintenance.

I ordered a memory card with a voucher code last week via TCB, and it never tracked. Last night l ordered this ssd with the voucher code via quidco, and it tracked straight away. Both times I used Google chrome.

I purchased the series 3 from amazon earlier today. Is this better?. Series 4? more advanced?. Thanks

steve23094 to shabbird

31 Mar 16 1 #33

Not necessarily. When SSD manufacturers update the model number on a SSD sometimes they will use a cheaper controller or NAND chips which provide lower performance. Often this goes hand in hand with a lower price.

In this particular case I can't tell you either way, you will need to look for some benchmarks on each model.

Finally bought this. I spent too last week dithering about it and it went out of stock and the price increased. The price has risen to £29.99 on eBay and Amazon, so it's probably going to increase @ my memory too, just like last week.

30 Mar 16 #15

I've got one - one thing that concerns me is that black magic test shows 95MB writes mostly. And then other times it's over 400. Not sure if it's an issue with the software or the drive, as it does perform rather well otherwise

rev6 to mcsmik

30 Mar 16 1 #16

Bursts 400 but hovers around 95 average? Run a test like CrystalDiskMark with a 500MB file (3 times) and screenshot it here :stuck_out_tongue:
