i'm i the market for a 120GB/128GB ssd. i've been eyeing for intel 520, but a search in lowyat today showed out of stock. seems like i was too late in the ssd game sweat.gif

so i have to find an alternative. the only reason i wanted the 520 was because it has a write speed of 500+ MB/s, which most other ssd lack at that price point. not only that, a lot of positive reviews on its reliability

so any recommendation? the samsung 840 pro is out of rage as i have only a budget of rm400 max

thanks for the help guys

If you're on daily usage basis, having high speed write speed won't able to harness much unless you're merely using it for benchmark.

Recently I got myself the lowest ever price can get for Plextor M5S 128GB SSD for only RM 287 each! The cheapest and best controller chipset from Marvell. I bought it from Jayacom @ LowYat Plaza. Even one of forum member manage to get it RM 285 each, he end up buying two pieces.

Go find the young bald chap, malay guy goes by the name KORI. Nice fella. Can bargain too  icon_idea.gif

M5PRO of course is better since is direct competitor towards Intel 520
