akarsan Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi guys,not sure if this has been asked before, however i would seek your opinion on how to get the best performance out of the laptop with my current ssdsmy primary hdd is currently a kingston hyperx 240gb, secondary is a plextor m5 256gb and on the msata is a plextor m6 256gb ssd. as i'm planning to format the machine over the weekend so i may need to checkout which is the best drive to install my OS on.1. Kingston Hyperx (sata 3)2 Plextor m5s (sata 2 because of the hdd caddy is a sata2 rated caddy)3. Plextor m6m (msata)reason of asking is because i run alot of VM for my work testing purposes and would like to pump out as much performance as i can from this laptop. and lastly, has anyone tried using more then 16Gb on this model of laptop? (lenovo y500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhamodharan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 better your kingston SSD will give u a performance and ur SSD ' s read speed will be good but not the write speed beter use a HDD to save ur datas and medias ur ssd should only boot OS and not save files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom10122 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I believe the y500 should support up to 32gb, use the kingston for the OS as it will be the fastest, if you can just use the msata for simple file storage and the secondary/primary for VM's, The msata only supports up to 3gb/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
