Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB SSD

[HuffPCair]

Hey everybody,

My OS HDD is starting to act weird so figured I would start looking into replacing it with an SSD. I saw Newegg is having this SSD on sale for 90 bucks as their shell shocker deal in the mid day and was wondering if anyone can tell me if its a good drive or not? It is a SATAIII and I am still on II, but plan on upgrading in the near future.

The Crucial M4 is a bit cheaper and will replace the C300. The C300 is a great drive though. Both are winners.

Just ordered mine today right before it sold out. My bro has one and its pretty fast .

Damn it, can't believe I missed this!!!!!!

[HuffPCair]

Yeah ordered it right on 12 the dot, and working nights actually had its advantage this time since they send me the shell shocker at like 2 in the morning haha. Though I am waiting for a shipment email which kind of would of thought they would of shipped it out today but hopefully tomorrow morning they ship it so I can get my old OS drive switched out since its acting weird.

A bit tired since I only got a few hours of sleep, but I say well worth it haha.

Glad I got a good drive and wish I would of seen this thread I would of bought more to help you guys out.


Nevermind it has shipped they just havent updated it with a tracking number. Sweet cant wait to get it.

I have 3 64 GB c300s in RAID0 and runs like a champ

got 2 of them in raid 0 was hoping to score 2 more but they went fast cant complain they're awesome lil drives

[HuffPCair]

I was debating if it would be worth it or not to do a RAID with these cards. I figured either way I went it would be faster than a mechanical drive. I am happy for 90 bucks for a SSD. I imagine once I get time to really get back into computers I will end up buying some bigger drives and doing a RAID.

[HuffPCair]

Also dumb question but obviously still new to the SSD stuff, for RAID the only thing that matters is that they are same GB correct? Just like a HDD RAID???

[Aedubber]

Yes , cuz if you use a 64 gb and then use a 124 gb your gonna waste the 124... Thats why i just did 3 of the 64gb ssds

[HuffPCair]

Ok thats what I figured. Doesnt matter on brand or anything?

[Aedubber]

Im not sure about brand , but personally i would stick with the same brand thru out .

[HuffPCair]

Ok thanks man. I usually do just because I want everything look a like haha, but figured if Newegg had another sale like this on a similar SSD I would probably snatch it up.

But who knows, now that I bought a new SSD I am wanting to upgrade everything hahaha.

[Aedubber]

LOL yup it happens, im already planning my next build lol .. Its a bad sickness this hobby we have i guess .

[HuffPCair]

Yeah work has kept me pretty busy lately so haven't had it on my mind plus now that riding season has finally came it had been hard to sit down at home.

For RAID0 you want to use the exact same drive. Otherwise the performance will be way off if one drive is faster than the other.
