Any SSD will do, preferably the highest capacity you can get for your budget. You are likely to be bottlenecked by your CPU during the transcoding, so perhaps even a good HDD will do if capacity is important enough. Then again, if your laptop has USB 3.0 or you can install a second HDD, then you can stick with an SSD in your laptop as your primary for your OS and applications.
The read performance is good, but the write performance doesn't look right.

Do you have the Intel toolkit installed? It should be able to help in diagnosing performance issues and how to solve it.

Already installed the toolkit and optimize using the optimizer, and no performance issues stated there ,, unsure.gif unsure.gif

The five years warranty isn't a good deal.

Three years ago, in September 2009, the first-generation OCZ Vertex 120GB (Indilynx controller, before the SandForce controller) SATA 3.0 Gb/s cost RM 1,599. In 2010, the first-generation Intel SSD X25-M 160GB was going for RM 1,850. Today, an Intel 330 120GB (SandForce controller) SATA 6.0 Gb/s costs only RM 310. In two more years, I expect a 120GB SSD to go under RM 150, perhaps even under RM 100, if the capacity remains available in the market. Three years from now, you might go out and buy a 480GB SSD for maybe less than RM300. Five years from now? Who knows.

Or to look at it in another way, the first generation Intel SSD, the X25-M, also had a five year warranty and it was first released in around August 2008. Meaning that these SSDs would start to have their warranties expire next year. If Intel will still have replacement X25-Ms in stock and you own a hypothetical X25-M that fails next year, will you bother going through the RMA process or would you just go and buy a cheap, modern and high-performance SSD?

Then again, if you typically have rather old components in your computer, maybe it was a good deal for you.

That why i rather take 330 than 520, more value for money and i'm only using at sata2 port because my marvel sata3 port not doing well like native sata2 controller. yawn.gif
