Hi guys, I'm planning to upgrade my DELL D630 notebook with SSD Vertex 3 120GB, I'm currently using Intel X25-M, i can feel the difference compare to conventional 7200 rpm hdd. My concern is does it have significant effects in terms of speed of using Vertex 3 compare to Intel X25-M in such an old laptop? I don't the SATA for DELL D630 is SATA-2 or SATA-3 or other type, i can't google much info on the port type. If anyone knows, please advise me. I do not want to over spend on it. Vertex 3 is 50% more expensive than Intel X25-M.  |

QUOTE(everling @ Dec 27 2011, 02:26 PM) Going by the age alone (the laptop has a review in 2007), it has only SATA 3.0Gbps and not SATA 6.0Gbps (introduced in 2009). Please keep in mind that SSD-to-SSD return on investment is much smaller than HDD-to-SSD. Thus if your X25-M is a 120GB SSD or your primary reason for a new SSD is performance, it will not be worth it. If you're using the 80GB edition and need more capacity, then any cheap and decent 120GB SSD will do just fine. Like Intel's 120GB (reliability) or OCZ's Agility 3 120GB (performance). What about OCZ's Agility 3 120GB? Here's a performance review: http://www.anandtech.com/print/4421Unfortunately the Intel 320 120GB isn't benchmarked in that review. thanks for your comment  |
