A bit confused with all the SSD technologies out there. Probably the gurus here could help me. I'm not into the speed, as long as it works as fast as the normal HDD, should be enough. My requirement is .. I need a reliable HDD/SSD which could stand being in the car. I've replaced one WD notebook HDD before and I'm on the second one which is Hitachi 7200rpm notebook HDD. It giving the same symptom as before my WD died, whenever I do cornering whatever I'm playing strutter and having problem during boot/waking up from hibernate. I do have a program which is writing to the HD every 15 minutes or so to record video from my onboard webcam in the car. Main function will be to play audio/video, navigation.

Now from the above, is the cheap Kingston V enough for me or should I go to the GEN2 of SSD (Kingston V+, Intel or that OCZ Vertex2 variation) is the one to go? Don't have much budget for this though.

Thanks for any input.

Thanks both of you .. and thanks everling for the price analysis, very helpful indeed. One last thing, do I need to worry about that TRIM thingy if I set the SSD as the only storage for my carpc? Ronaldjoe has the 64GB for RM360 and it seems so tempting .. is there any differences between the 64GB and 128GB other than the capacity? the link given by everling seems to suggest that they're on different controller (or probably enhanced one?). Haha.. now me seems to be picky .. but if the Kingston V 64GB should be fine, I'll go for it..

I would say that I'm totally agree with you on this one. As per my requirement, I don't really want a speedy SSD, what I want is a replacement storage for my carpc. 64GB is I believe good enough since from the 320GB HD that I've right now, only 20GB is used up and the reason why I wanted an SSD is because I've previously had HDD failed on me and the current one showing the same symptom. With no-moving part in SSD, it will surely helps me a lot.

To optimised the performance I guess .. I'm new to SSD (haven't got mine either). A bit of googling will reveal this actually..

Gee.. looking at Garage Sales, you're selling SSD too.. hmm.. you're confusing me now..
