Hi,
I'm looking at getting an SSD to replace my current HDD. I have a SATA II and after some research come to a conclusion to get Intel 320 120GB.
From my reading it seems that some ppl are facing issues with the SF based SSD giving BSOD and that the amount spend for any SATA III enabled SSD (for future proof sake) simply too much.
- Anyone has any other suggestion other then the Intel 320 SSD?
- Where is the best shop/person can I get it from?
- I notice there is several version of this. OEM and K5 stepping which is listed as reseller edition. Which should I be looking for? Warranty difference I believe correct?
- What is the current estimate price of the Intel 320 120GB rite now?
TQ

QUOTE(fixgd @ Feb 19 2012, 02:01 AM) haha its the same thing about audiophiles. well gonna survey the price 1st. i think ur budget is too low already. i find the best balance between price and performance is those around 120/128GB SSD. After all the normal software my PC already took about 30GB. Imagine if you install games etc.. You wont have enough space. Plus I notice from review, SSD tend to perform faster the larger the SSD size. Its important also you find out which SATA ur mobo support. Not much point to get SATA3 if you only support SATA2. In SSD case not much point finding a future proof device because in the future SSD might drop price some more. You might as well just change new one by then... |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Feb 19 2012, 03:37 PM) I mentioned this before and it's not about having a future proof drive... SATA 3 SSDs are just built more recently and are generally newer tech than SATA 2 drives. Besides, there is very little price difference (if at all) between SATA 2 and SATA 3 SSDs. Its a no brainer to get SATA 3 drives even if your mobo is SATA 2 as they are backward compatible. Running my M4s in a Toshiba M9 (64GB) and Acer 1410 (128GB) and both notebooks are with SATA 2 mobos. little price difference? (Sata 2) Intel 320 120GB = RM580 OCZ Vertex 2 120GB = RM589 (Sata 3) Intel 501 120GB = RM899 OCS Vertex 3 = RM729 Mushkin Cronos Duluxe = RM750 580 vs 729 That is 150 ringgit difference minimum. I know the amount is depend on a person perspective of value. But that is consider alot to me. Price example taken from: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1293022 |
