BIWIN SSD C8386 with Power Failure Protection Technology




BIWIN has launched a new business-grade SSD - C8386, which equipped with power failure protection technology. BIWIN, a world-leading expert in the development and manufacture of flash and advanced NAND flash memory, has launched a new business-grade SSD, the C8386, equipped with unique power failure protection technology. BIWIN’s C8386 SSD offers real-time monitoring through the adoption of a power supply detection chip. The firmware of the SSD will be immediately guarded once the voltage is detected to be lower than 4V. This effectively avoids serious damage caused by an unexpected power loss, such as the disk being unable to be read or a system crash.
The BIWIN C8386 uses the advanced Tantalum capacitor. Compared with ordinary capacitors, the Tantalum has a longer operational life of 25 years and better thermo stability under a 110° temperature working environment. The unique Self-Healing Function enables the Tantalum capacitor to automatically repair or isolate the oxidation film defect which is caused by long time usage. Consequently, the oxidation film medium can be strengthened and the insulating capability can be recovered.
Within the high standard selection of flash memory, the C8386 is optimized for its outstanding performance. Both read and write speeds are 3 times faster than a traditional hard disk, which enormously reduces the file transferring time and accelerates program execution processes.

I agree and the lightning is not all that great comes highest in oc but most of the 770s over clock about the same so a regular msi gaming will be fine I got gigabyte because the factory oc and the to try the wind force which is very silent even at 80% fan and typical temps 38c max oc and under load it's mostly 61c but can reach 76c after an hour of far cry 3.
Good and dandy photo thumbs up lol

Hmm, that's the 70% reason I'd admit, because I want to get the most out of Tomb Raider, Crysis 3 and Company of Heroes 2, right now the GTX 670 have to scale back on the settings to keep the graphics smooth.
Focus on games you play and plan to stick with, not interactive benchmarks like Crysis 3.
Anyways, seeing as your motherboard doesn't support SLi I wouldn't recommend anything less than a GTX 780...

I would say the exact opposite replace the entry level motherboard the OP has with at least the ASRock Z77 extreme4 and get another 670 it will cost less total that the 780 and OP WILL have more performance.

I already said that in my first post and he said he doesn't want to.
The GTX 780 is a great card, but probably not worth it for everyone who already owns a GTX670/GTX680/HD7970.
Maybe just replace your motherboard with one that supports SLi and get another GTX 670...

If that means I don't have to ended up re-install everything from OS to all my other stuff, and lost a whole week (I got my 9-to-5 job and do all house chores myself, like 99% of us) to do so, then I'm up for it. Otherwise, I'd prefer to go through that process when I make another major upgrade along with a new OS.
That said, I'm concentrating on options that involves just swap out the card and re-install drivers...perhaps add an hour in the installation time to at least vacuum the interior a bit, but that's the most I'm willing to undertake at this time.

I remember that rule still don't apply to changing motherboard...it's not the same with swapping out graphic card or CPU (of the same socket design) or RAM.

Your going from Z77 to another Z77 I would venture to say all you will need to do is set your boot order and CPU OC in the BIOS and it should load up your OS no problem.

The main thing to watch is when switching to a board with a different SATA controller be sure to install the correct AHCI driver first.

Call me old fashioned, but I would never do that. I'm too scarred from the age of "upgrade gremlins" that made changing hardware on the same Windows install a complete waste of time.

That's exactly what I worry about, and I've experienced it back in WinXP days.

XP days were 12 years ago. A lot has changed since then...
You guys are worrying for nothing.

Do not buy any 770. It is an awful upgrade from a 670. Tbh there are 4gb 770 out right now. You sure your mb does not support sli? If it does grab another 670 or sell it and buy a 780
