Aih, regardless I currently have 2 x 60gb vertex 2. One in my laptop and one in desktop now. For some reasons I only have 13gb free space on the desktop and I have nothing installed besides windows update.

Even if I were to raid the vertex 2, I still need another replacement for the laptop. I'm really contemplating getting a vetex 3/force GT/some intel.

Hi guys, I've been researching on SSDs for about the whole day now. Had my eyes on Corsair Force 3, but after I googled 'BSOD corsair force 3' (or 'bsod sf2281'), I found out a lot of people are facing BSOD issues. Now I have my doubt dy.

So need sifus' help to make my research easier tongue.gif can you guys recommend an SSD within RM600-RM700 price range? Thank a lot.

Crucial M4 or Intel 510 Series SSD have best reputation thus far for having no issue tongue.gif
Sandforce SF22xx Series is a hit and miss laugh.gif

Since my 300GB raptor just crashed on me after 3 years of use (bought 2008), i was looking to replace it with a SSD.

For the OS drive (Win 7 64-bit) i was thinking of getting a Corsair Force 3 60GB drive.
And maybe get a 1TB / 2TB Seagate baracuda for programs and stuff. (i still have 2 x WD 320GB holding my data).

Oh yeah, it's going into a slightly aged P45 Asus Maximus II board. It's Sata II but yeah it should still be faster than any mechanical HDD even without the Sata III support (right ?)

Opinions ?

Many thanks.

Update: Oops, it's alive after all. Guess my SSD upgrade will have to wait.  laugh.gif

Update #2: Nope, it's flip flopping between OK and not OK. Going to give the SATA cable a change, since the Raptor can be read fine from Ubuntu and copying files is no issue. SMART diagnostics gave it a clear as well.

For the SATA 2 issue,you can buy one of those SATA 3/6GB card that run on PCIE thumbup.gif
