I'm planning to buy 120/128GB SSD for my laptop. Going to use it for long hours everyday. Can anyone recommend me between these drives which one suit me well:
1. 128GB OCZ Vertex 4
2. 120GB Sandisk Extreme
3. 128GB Crucial M4

SSD will be use for installing Windows and frequently use apps. Files will be stored on SATA disk.

I am a noob in SSD. Appreciate some help.
I am getting a new laptop, and plan to swap the HDD out with a SSD.
I read some reviews, and Samsung 830 always come near the top in term of reliability / performance.
Yet I could not seems to find any retails of this drive in LYP (there are some OEM version in garage sale). Is there a reason for this? or I just don't know where to look?

I have the same problem, Samsung SSD seems like the best, but i watched some youtube videos, it seems that the Intel benchmark is better than it, however when comparing bootspeed and application loading time, samsung stands out, making me totally lost.

Lots of retailers in lowyat are selling intel, but hardly see any for samsung. any special reason?

Edit: I'm comparing the Samsung 830 128Gb vs the Intel 520 120GB

if you can wait, wait for samsung 840 pro. its performance improvements from 830 are significant.

Just got my Intel 520 yesterday, ran some benchmark, the read speed seems normal, but the write speed seems to be capped at 485mb/s any ideas?

Why get a Corsair Force GT 240GB when its priced at RM759 when a Crucial M4 256GB can be had for RM650?
There is no Intel 330 240GB, but there is for the 520 series and that costs RM780. Not worth it.

According to storm88 on his earlier post, he can get a Samsung 830 256GB at sub RM650, that's a no brainer right there.

In terms of performance, it has been repeated numurous times already. They do not matter under the usage of gaming, day-to-day basis applications (internet and what not) and windows/applications boot time.

The difference between them is so insignificant that anything one would "feel" is simply just a placebo effect.

If you are doing a lot of real-time video encoding, recording or processing thousands (literally, thousands I mean) of RAW photos, then the extra bandwidth comes in play. But otherwise, forget the numbers. Get the one which is of the best value and reliability.

Good advice. About the performance thing, yeah, I guess you're right. I have not been in an SSD discussion before so I didn't really know the performance would be so insignificant. I'll hunt around for a good deal... for at least 240/256Gb size. The Samsung one sounds good.
