With a few words.if someone is kind enough to offer me some trustworthy models(or just manufacturers) because I remember there was a compatibility issue with sandforce controllers.I have a hero VI with 4770k. I can see that there are new sandforce controller models out there.Are they good now ?
MB:MVI-H,CPU:i7-4770k,GPU:GTX670 Gigabyte,RAM:Corsair vengeance Pro 16MB 1600C9, CPU cooler:Corsair H80i,PSU:Tagan piperock series 1300w =Happy Gamer!
I use Seagates in RAID 0 which are also not Sandforce 🙂 Excellent performance.
The Asus Maximus VI Hero Club
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VI HERO, i4770K@4.5, Corsair H100i, 16G G.Skill Trident X @2400, MSI7950 xFire, C: Samsung EVO 250G SSD RAID0, BenQ XL2420Z, LG BD burner, Corsair RM1000i, Antec DF-85.
What you refer to is an old issue which were mostly limited to the first gen controllers. The newer/second gen sandforce have no compatibility issues with the z87 chipset i.e the SF 2xxx series and nowadays there is not much difference with most SSD manufacturers and they mostly have a similar feature set imo with an exception with the price. I just want the system to boot up <15 seconds, play a few games here and there and want the system to feel fast. I use the intel 530 which has been serving me well for more than a year now.
I'm not saying that that the Samsung 840 EVOs aren't reliable, but I had just one shipped to me that was dead on arrival. I've RMA'd it, so hopefully I'll get a working model soon.
