Best SSD for XP OS?

[DEAGS1978]

I'm looking to put my XP2 OS on SSD for Asrock 4core Duel Sata 2 is there one that is best and why?

I don't know about best, but I bought a 120GB Kingston A400 for my XP machine.

It makes bootup really fast!

But because Windows XP doesn't support the correct NTFS formatting you are going to need for SSDs, you should first connect it to a Windows 7 or newer PC and use that PC to format the drive as NTFS. Connecting it to this Win7/newer PC can be done by connecting the SSD with internal SATA or with a USB->SATA physical adapter.

There are some Windows XP SSD optimization guides out there, but this page has most of the ones I used: https://ckirbach.wordpress.com/2012/...isk-operation/

I've also been using SSD Capture as well with USB. My Compression Ratio has changed from 2.1:1 to 2.4:1

Try Samsung 840 Evo internal and Samsung t5 and t7 for external drives. The capture looks great in Hybrid and Handbreak
